The first Acetone record goes from garage punk in "Pinch" and "Chills" to a Velvet Underground cover "Come On" is almost exactly VU's "Ocean". Then Acetone finds its own unique style on tracks like "Barefoot on Sunday", "No Need Swim" and the epic "Louise" Their voice is subtle but far from boring. These songs have a quiet warming reapeating groove that sticks in your head for awhile. The vocals and lyrics from Richie Lee are great too. Overall this record shows a whole range of style. Possibly the groups best.

I'm listening to "Don't Cry" from this album right now, and it continues to evoke memories I had of this album in 1993. This is absolutely beautiful stuff. If any of you lived in the Chicagoland area betwen 1993-1998 and caught the show JBTV on Channel 26, you will have an idea as to what the TrUe Alternative music of tha era was about... such as Vernon Yard recording artists the Verve and Acetone.I realize I haven't done much of a job explaining to you what this music sounds like, but let me break it down real clear. Picture the previous Velvets comparisons-- they're justified. Track one is a direct rip of "Oceans"... but not in a bad way! Acetone absorbs the influence and then transforms it into something incredible; completely f**king new. Track two "Pinch" tears all comparisons off of the formulated tapistry... and from there on it's anyone's game.If you're looking for something that reaches beyond today's gloss pop-punk, you're ready for Acetone. This is the best you can get for this particular genre... dare to buy it, you'll never turn back to your Sum 41 Cds again.

If you haven't heard of Acetone, do investigate their backlog if you can. Great album.

it seems i was 20 years late to the party lol ….. what a great debut release from the now defunct ACETONE. i just found out about them several weeks ago and have been obsessed. other reviewers here have done a good job describing the music so all i can say is that in lieu of finding the much sought after vinyl release, this CD is a great to have. and sounds pretty damn good too ! in by that i mean its not squashed to death like today's releases (brickwall limiting loudness wars) ….i also really like the underproduced feel of the album ….. it is a fat full frequency balanced sound (nice fat bass and drums with a HUGE neil young sounding distorted guitar that does not end up piercing my ears and making me turn down the volume after 1 song ….yeah … i love this album.(light in the attic - please reissue all the ACETONE LPs !)
