Live & Direct: Acoustic Roots [Explicit]

 (18 customer reviews)

There are some gems of songs on the other cd's they have, but I don't care for a lot of their faster punk songs, and some of them are basically crap. This cd I listen to start to finish without skipping over songs. White boys talking with a Jamaican accent in between songs is rather silly, but they make up for it with songs like "Fireshot", "Sensi" and "Couldn't get High". "Wiseman" is also a great song.

Definitely worth the purchase.

The Acoustic Roots cd is probably the best compilation of acoustic songs on one album ive heard since Sublime's Acoustic Brad Nowell and Friends cd. It is the first cd I ever listened to from Slightly Stoopid and it definitely made me a fan instantly. It has that positive vibe that can only be heard in the west coast. Miles and Kyle are a perfect match for eachother; they compliment each other's talents. And with the songs being live, it reminds me of Brad Nowell's insanely beautiful live acoustic songs. Please go out and buy this album for the sake of humanity.

Well, to start off with, this is a totally acoustic album, in case you were fooled like the other guy who wrote his review and was shocked it was acoustic. Miles(bass) and Kyle(guitar) have been playing together since they were kids and this concert really demonstrates this; apparently two weeks before this show, their drummer left the band leaving them to either cancel the show or go on and play without a drummer. Overall, this album is one of the best things you can spend your money on; the innovative way they changed their songs to suit their two acoustic guitars (I believe they both play Seagulls) will leave you reeling. From the opening reggae shout on Fireshot to their cover of Used to love her, this album surpasses all expectations, and it gets better every time you listen to it. The live feel is what really brings out the magic in Slightly Stoopid, so do yourself a favor and buy this album right now.
