at last. they made it. i'm really feeling proud of this one. i mean, the bands did great. ok fine. well some of them anyway. with 6cm's version of alapaap on the first track, i was kinda expecting the bass part to be there. but sadly, the guys didnt do it. it was replaced by chuck's tricks on the guitar. it was still good though. just not as catchy, but still good. with ney starting the song on a high "May... isang umaga..." i dont know what you'd think about the rest of the song but they finished it on a great note. Imago did a G-R-E-A-T job. i love the song now more than ever. i really do. there's just something about aia when she sings with her band. spongecola did a cute job on the song. though there's something about the way yael screams t*** i***. hmmm what could it be? hahaha i'm just gonna quote this guy's review cause i think i might get in trouble with the words that are coming out of my mouth... haha
"Sugarfree singing Tikman, the song used for a Burger Machine ad campaign during the peak of E-head’s popularity. This one is comparably as good as the original, with Ebe Dancel’s voice sounding very much like Ely Buendia.
South Border sings With A Smile for the CD’s fifth track, and though they made it too R&B sounding, the track is really good. Duncan and Vince sound just the way they always sing, and Jay sings a verse that would make you wish he’d sing more.
Fourth on the list is Barbie Almalbis singing Overdrive, a passable rendition that definitely sounds like something from the former HYP singer. This can be compared to her recent works, which are rather too “pop” compared to her hits from recent years.
Kitchie Nadal follows with the E-heads’ first mainstream hit, Ligaya. This one sounds very much like classic pinoy rock, a style that’s very much emulated in Kitchie’s debut album. This is one of the better tracks in the CD.
Track number eight is Torpedo, sung by Isha, an artist I personally know nothing about, who does a sub-par job at giving justice to the song. Perhaps she was included to promote an upcoming album?
Next is Orange And Lemons doing Huwag Kang Matakot, a rather average cover of the song. Mcoy’s singing is noticeably unspectacular, not as classic sounding as his vocal work in their albums.
the piano rolls in and we hear Juris singing “Hika, ang inabot ko…” Yes, it’s MYMP doing a good cover of Huwag Mo Nang Itanong, another keeper from this CD.
Cueshe’s Hard To Believe, a song I find hard to believe that it is really part of this compilation. The original song was good, and so is the singing of Cueshe’s two vocalists in the cover, but come on, the song wasn’t really an E-heads hit.
Radioactive Sago Project gives a good take at Alcohol, (Alkohol) a remarkable non-hit in the E-heads discography. Lourd speaks his lines just the usual way he does, and the song comes alive just like the original. A really fun track.
For only 300 pesos, this CD is a worthy gift to a “feeling teenager” E-heads fan, a good way to remember the good old days. And for the young ones, this is not a bad way to discover the music of the Eraserheads, the greatest ever in Filipino music"
whatever he said... haha
