Review of Things To Make And Do - Moloko by dudeglove

Advantages: It's alternative and completely separates itself from any of the norms of the pop genres or anyone else for that matter
Disadvantages: No pictures of anyone of the band on the album, not even Roisin

Moloko are one of those bands that every now and again get mass appeal and the random number one, and then quickly scurry back to the safety of their target audience. What their target audience is I have never been able to figure out. I had the pleasure of seeing them live when they were promoting their latest album “Statues” that came out last year. They did a gig in the Limelight in Belfast around March and it was made me feel warm deep down, even ... Read review

Very much an acquired taste....
Review of Things To Make And Do - Moloko by the_grouch

Advantages: A very strange and sometimes wonderful mix of fuzzy tracks....
Disadvantages: ....some of the musical experiments though die a horrible death....

I’D LIKE TO POINT OUT: I have read no review either on ‘Ciao!’ OR ‘dooyoo’ that tries to give an insight to this album and I hope that you take notice of the other attempts and condemn them to a virtual death....it’s what’s dragging this place down with chancers and cheats who don’t give a damn to the quality of their reviews (why doesn’t ‘Ciao!’ take a stand and dismiss their presence!?). ‘DaveRobinson’, ...

Review of Things To Make And Do - Moloko by DaveRobinson

Advantages: Great
Disadvantages: None!

This is a really great CD! It`s new and really seems to break the mould of all the rubbish in the charts at the moment. The CD intermixes slow with fast which really prevents you from switching off in the middle. Tracks one and two (Pure Pleasure Seeker and Absent Minded Friends) give a blistering start which'll have you reaching for the pens to start drumming on the nearest object. The CD slows down and then comes in with the brilliant track 6 (Remain ... Read review

If you have not bought this yet, The Time Is Now
Review of Things To Make And Do - Moloko by Gingergal

Advantages: Every song is so orginal it will blow you away
Disadvantages: If you found one you love, you'll be probably find one you hate in equal measure

Moloko hit it big with their dance anthem Sing It Back way back when. It made other more indie/alternative fans rather wary of the Sheffield band, but then along came The Time Is Now, and soon it graced any self-respecting music fan’s shelf. The unusual style of Moloko won’t suit everybody’s musical taste, but anyone who enjoys diversity will love the album that contains corkers such as Remain The Same and Pure Pleasure Seeker. The memorable tune ... Read review

A brave new sound
Review of Things To Make And Do - Moloko by XZCrusader

Advantages: Like no other
Disadvantages: May be inaccessible to new listeners

"Things to make and do", the third album from Moloko duo Mark Brydon and Roisin Murphy is an eclectic mix of pop, jazz and electronic dance music, with the club smash "Sing it back" thrown in for good measure. With eighteen tracks, the album is good value for money, as the huge variety of sounds and musical influences on offer mean there's something for everyone, be it a pop ballad or the darker, more rock-oriented sound of "Remain the same". Although ... Read review

Eclectic to the point of nausea.
Review of Things To Make And Do - Moloko by mikegray

Advantages: Some stomping anthems.
Disadvantages: They try too hard to be clever.

Moloko are Eclectic, deliberately so. But being eclectic and deliberately obtuse, using found sounds and putting in little "interludes" doesn't win you any friends if the end result isn't any good. Those expecting a full complement of singles are going to be disappointed. "Sing It Back" shouldn't even be on here (as it originally featured on I Am Not A Doctor, Moloko's last record) and is clearly a marketing ploy included to shift units, which ... Read review

Do not buy this
Review of Things To Make And Do - Moloko by bethypoos

Advantages: nice album cover
Disadvantages: terrible music

OK - I bought this album after hearing the two hit singles - with 'Sing it Back' being my summer anthem of 1999. Well, I believe they produced the album in a rush after this single because it is absolutely dreadful. There are two good tracks on the whole album - and they are the two hit singles; the rest are rubbish. The other songs are not at all in the same vain as the two hits - rather they are instantly forgettable and droan on and on. The CD ... Read review

One dodgy song, otherwise, buy it!
Review of Things To Make And Do - Moloko by Pritch

Advantages: Marvelous mix of musical styles
Disadvantages: That flamin' Indigo song

Most of the people who buy this will be attracted by the single The Time is Now. This serves as a good introduction to Moloko, but is by no means the best track on the disc. Play this disc on your cheap mini-system, and you'll wonder why you bought it. Play it on something with a bit more grunt, and you'll find yourself marvelling at the sheer range of stuff that Moloko have produced. The only down point on this entire disc is the embarrasingly awful ... Read review
