Reviews Customer Reviews for You Will Go To The Moon      You Will Go To The Moon      Rating:      I worked in Northern New Hampshire with a transplanted Canadian who was really fond of these guys. When I asked her why she liked them so much, she could only say, "Because they're so Canadian!." I think she's absolutely right. If you buy this album, you'll be charmed by the band's relentless charm and optimism, despite their generally unsentimental approach. By far, my favorite cut is "You Will Go To The Moon." This song captures so much self-assurance and technological optimism. Gotta love it... I know what moxy is, by the way, from the late 1950s. But Fruvous...     Customer Reviews for You Will Go To The Moon Cd      Go to the moon-and love it.      Rating:      After discovering Fruvous in 2004, I had already missed all their live shows, and all their albums had come out. I first heard them on "Bargainville," then "b," and I loved Fruvous instantly. Their incredible vocal, lyrical, and instrumental talents make almost every song they ever recorded amazing. After listening to 'ville and b, I was content for awhile, because I didn't realize they even had any other albums released. Boy, was I happily suprised. Next I purchased "Live Noise" -the essential album for anyone who has never seen a live fruvous show (including myself)- and was even more amazed with their improv and hilarious between song banter. A few days ago, i got "You Will Go To The Moon." I love it. I think it is one of their best albums, with a mix of satire, silliness, and bittersweet melodies-almost everything that makes Moxy Fruvous so incredibly wonderful and unique. It starts out with "Michgan Militia." This is a song you will have in your head all day, and will captivate you from the amazing inroductory riff. Next is "Get in the Car," a fun romp. Skipping down to "Sahara," you hear a middle-eastern influenced melody and captivating lyrics, sung by MIke Ford. After Sahara is "Lee." This is quite possibly one of my favorite Fruvous songs. It has a hauntingly beautiful melody, with a slow, lyrical mood that is incredible. Dave Matheson is amazing on lead vocals, and brings emotion to this track. "No No Raja" is another middle-eastern influenced track, with Jian on lead, with a great melody. "The Incredible Medicine Show" is a song about plastic surgery, in a nutshell. But the vocals are really blended and make it enjoyable, and fun if you enjoy that sort of Fruvous. "Your New Boyfriend" is just funny. Right-wingers may not enjoy it, for a reason that is apparent in the lyrics "your new boyfriend's a bit...of a right wing @&$!" But other than that, it is hilarious, if the lyrics in the chorus don't bother you. It is also a bit Beatles-esque. "Boo Time" isn't really a purposeful song...but the beat is infectious, making it another of my favorites from this album. The bass drum and the saxaphone (played by Dave) give it a fuller sound than the version I heard on "Live Noise." "Love Set Fire" is a song that puts me right on the fence. The lyrics are good, and the melody is good, but it is sort of slow and stark. The title track, "You Will Go To the Moon," is really good. Some people don't like it, but the vocals and harmonies make it a favorite of mine, and a great way to round out a wonderful CD. Fruheads will love it, and it is also a wonderful introductory album for people who want a taste of the many sides of Moxy Fruvous.
