Editorial Reviews

CD Description
The Steve Miller Band of the 90s has made a small impression with this irresistible package. Crammed full of great riffs and licks, tight playing and singing with enthusiasm. The title track together with the wry 'Little Miss Can't Be Wrong' were both hit singles in the wake of the excellent 'Two Princes', one of the few occasions where the cliche of rhyming 'baby' with 'maybe' was completely acceptable. Unpretentious rock music for the 90s and a memorable debut, that they could never come near again.


Customer Reviews

An underated classic5
This album is probably coming up for some airplay on radio 2 but it still has the melodies and superlative songwriting that many bands should still aspire to. This is a sound of a group on the crest of a wave that sadly petered out. Almost every song's a winner although 'little miss' and 'two princes' will be classicly memorable for many. My favourite thing about this album is that you can feel the Spin Doctors loving every chord and note they strike and that sort of rubs off on you after a while. Yep, you should buy it.

A must for any rock collection5
The spin doctors were really the first band I ever got into. Unfortunately their career has slowly wilted away, and try as it may the music tends to follow as band member after band member are ousted, replaced etc. That said, this album sees the Spin Doctors at their peak. You may not see past the radio hits like Two Princes and Little Miss Cant Be Wrong, but deep in the heart of the album there is a New York-Blues-Rock-with a little bit of funk that would've seen the band on to make many a fine album were it not for musical diffrences. This is the band at their best, and Kryptonite is a must for anyone learning the guitar.

Underrated5
When 'Two Princes' was at its height in the early nineties, everyone assumed that Spin Doctors were a cheesy american pop band...WRONG. This fine LP (best tracks 'Forty or fifty', 'How could you want him when you know you could have me?' and (cd only) 'Sweet widow') survives repeated listenings much better than their more recent material, and shows of their considerable and seemingly undiscovered musical prowess.
