Ammonia - Eleventh Avenue


Release date: 11 May 1998
Review Date: 13 May 1998

This is the second album from the Perth band.

First Impressions

Cool stuff. This album has a lot more variety than their first release Mint 400. It makes use of loops and keyboards (probably due to the producer Dave Fridmann). The result? An album that is interesting to listen to, from the pop moments of Baby Blue to Ammonia's usual high intensity rock in songs like 4711. The album shows a band that is still developing musically, willing to experiment with their sound.

Fav Moment

I still think that Ammonia is best experienced live, and I particularly like the songs on the album that can capture this essence. For this reason, I'd pick their first single You're Not The Only One as my favourite moment. Seeing it live is even better!

Rating

3 1/2 out of 5 for great songs and live performances.
