One review read:
"The world view of Todd Pipes, who wrote nine of the 12 songs on Deep Blue Sometbing's debut album, Home (the other three had lyrics by his brother Toby), is that of the educated American twenty-something of the 1990s: referencing art objects from the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's to the paintings of Kandinsky,
he and his friends suffer the travails of romance, compromise, and
suicide while trying to establish themselves as independent adults. Pipes
sets these concerns to a power-pop sound straight out of
late-'70s/early-'80s Great Britain (in turn indebted to the Brit rock
of 1965), perhaps an odd stylistic choice for a band from Denton, TX,
but it's a small world after all, and they find enough hooks to offer a
literally upbeat contrast to the youthful uncertainty in the lyrics.
Ironically, given the defiantly uncommercial stance put forth on the
album-closing "Wouldn't Change a Thing," Home, propelled by the Top Ten success of "Breakfast at Tiffany's," became a substantial hit."

All my discs are original releases. I do not sell CD-Rs or copies of any kind. All discs come with original artwork and inserts and are in excellent condition unless stated otherwise. In some cases the jewel boxes may be cracked or show signs of wear, and discs occasionally have surface marks, but are guaranteed playable. I specialize in selling a variety of music by established and lesser known artists, covering a number of different genre, with some hard to find and rare items. In addition I always have some bargain buys/clearance items starting as low as 1 Cent. These tend to be suppliers' overstock items and although they are new, or like new, they may be marked, for example with a hole in the barcode or a slit in the case. These marks are made to prevent the item being resold at the full price and do not in any way affect the disc itself. Check out my other listings for similar items to take advantage of shipping discounts. If you like this CD the chances are I will have others that will be of interest too. Buy more, save more!
New items are added on a regular basis so keep watching!

Recorded at Alley Cat Studios, Denton, Texas and RSVP Studios, Dallas, Texas.
Sounding like a final nail in the coffin of the grunge revolution, Deep Blue Something's major-label debut is a study in easy melodic upliftment. Rather than overpowering the listener, the songs ride waves of jangly, alterna-rock guitars and quaint, positive sentiments, settling themselves in the deep recesses of the mind, like nuggets of caramel still stuck between one's teeth long after the candy has been digested. And just like the caramel, songs like the hit single "Breakfast At Tiffany's" remain sweet long after all other flavor has been lost.
Though bassist/vocalist Todd Pipes claims that "Kiss was the reason [he] started playing rock," the roots of this north Texas quartet are indisputably ground in the British and Amer-indie guitar pop of the '80s. The lilting instrumental opener, "Gammar Gerten's Needle," has late-period Cure written all over it; "Halo" exists in the uncommon ground once occupied by The Fixx and OMD, but with an ever-present, effervescent acoustic guitar hushing the gloom away; and "Done" harkens back to the simple, bass-driven cerebralism of Wire Train. Each is built on a proven pop aesthetic that, given the mid-'90s musical climate, is quite singular.
In its lyrical intelligence HOME also finds kinship with such current alterno-popsters as Michael Penn and Live. Invoking figures like modernist painter Vassily Kandinsky and prominent 20th Century works like the Blake Edwards film BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S in enlightened boy-girl tales, Deep Blue Something prove that the same ol' song topics need not result in the same ol' songs.
