5ive Style Reviews:
5ive Style (self-titled) 
2006-06-03 - The only thing wrong with this CD is that it is too short. 5ive style are GENIUS musicans who play intelligent, instrumental funky music with heart. Every single track is outstanding - the musicianship is stunningly accomplished, yet the band never sounds like they are showing off. They come so much closer to an updated Meters sort of sound than dozens of other bands who are trying really hard to do the same thing (e.g., Galactic). 5ive Style makes it sound easy! And what great guitar sounds these guys get! I'd love to know what equipment they are using & require all guitarists to but the same rig. I listen to this CD frequently, and I've owned it for about 10 years. There are not too many recordings I can say that about!
These other guys don't know what they are talking about 
2001-01-18 - Well, after reading these other reviews, all I can say is the world in 2001 is a place of many varied tastes, as always. I think that 5ive style is very good, well made musician's music that is fun and funky, and cerebral, too, with little bits of production enhancements cleverly lurking behind very easily likeable jam tunes. The rhthym is very funky, but only complimentary to the standout instrument, the guitar. The guitar style is almost bluesy, it is not impossible to imitate, it just holds the song and moves it in a very jangly, funky direction. That's I guess the best way I can describe it. I think they are a great band, at least on the debut, but it depends on what you're in to. If you like R&B like "five" or the pop princesses and princes that are popular nowadays, you definitely won't like this.
Totally Stupid 
2000-09-15 - This is the worst album that I have heard in my life.If you have no taste in music and want a complete waste of money and time, buy this. I heard this at a friend's house and totally hated it. This band have no talent at all. This is even worse then 1 out of ten. at least -9999999999999999999999999! DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!!
Who are these people? 
2000-01-22 - I can only think of one band with a a 5 in it. That's 5ive. This is terrible. I can't say anymore. Can I give it 0 stars?
Horrible Concert, Terrible band 
1999-10-13 - With the first sample of this cd, I though this group showed potential. Upon purchase though, I discovered the band wasn't as good as I had anticipated. Never-the-less, I decided to give them a second chance, and was fortunate enough to see them in concert. This was not a good idea. The band was late, and very off tune. Never again shall I spend money on anything of 5ive Style origin.
