Published on May 6th 2005
What do rain, bird shit, and the trio of Andrea Lisi, Basia Andolsun, and Katy Otto have in common? They all come from the sky. At least, that's what their band's name, Del Cielo, infers. Whether or not the three actually fell out of the atmosphere remains to be determined, but their aim seems to be fairly simple: a straightforward indie rock record from an all-female band. I suppose in that rite they've succeeded, but beyond simplicity, Del Cielo really don't excel at much.

"del cielo" also means "of the sky" in spanish. i don't know if this band was going for the italian meaning or the spanish, but it's the same shit. just figured i'd mention that. My score is for the reviewer on the pure fact that he didnt' do shit worth of research on the name of this band. Del Cielo, in italain, means "of the sky" not "from the sky." If it meant from the sky the name would be "Dal Cielo." weak... Del Cielo sounds very similar to Discount. You'd be foolish not to notice the similarity. Bothare indie rock bands with female singers. what does discount have to do with del cielo? Discount > everyone? when i was in mexico city, i saw sky captain and the world of tomorrow OK i do not comment on Del Cielo but on the Cliche factor. Im so tired of hearing it! everything is cliche at this time and age really!!! like wtf do u want ppl to sing about?! how aliens stick anal provin sticks into a Cow's Butt?! as many of u might say "hey thats not a bad idea" i think its already been done therefore provin my point that cliche shouldnt really be a point to be argued anymore I like this record and think it is a lot better than their first one. They are a great band to watch live as well. I do not see the vocals being off key personally but maybe the reviewer is a music teacher or something. Discount > Del Cielo. it's ok, aversion and decapolis took a shit on this too. i like this. First off, I didn't find that review until after I wrote this one, so your claim is invalid right off the bat. i love when people respond to the argument that they generally only like one type of music with the "i like this and this and gave that a good review" argument...a few random exceptions don't make an argument invalid...i remember before you made staff you seriously reviewed at least two releases by popular screamo bands per week This is a catchy and good record. You may not like the vocals but they are not off key as the reviewer says. The first song of this was a chore to get through. There's a difference between having an open mind and compromising things to enjoy a record. That's more than I remember, I haven't touched a Spanish book since 10th grade. From what I remember of HS Spanish, cielo is generally sky but when you throw an el in front it turns into heaven sort of like "THE Sky." Plust it would just make a lot more sense for the band's name to be heaven rather than sky. Unless they were trying to sound like pigeon shit. Punk Planet actually gave this a really good review. The reviewer of this is so off target and I bet did nto even realy listen to the record and got lazy and copied the review they mentioned on the other web site. I really try not to lower myself to defending when people attack my reviews, but if you kids are going to be this thick-headed about it, I'm putting my two cents in. I'm pretty sure the meaning is actually "from heaven" Anchors is going to use his, "i have american football a nine!" excuse. However, I think american football is fucking boring as hell and didn't deserve the score it got. you need people who review with less bias and a more open mind to music and punk as a whole and not just one cheesy sub genre. Maybe if they dye their hair black.... they will get good reviews Del Cielo > Sleater Kinney. i haven't heard the album, but i saw them about a year ago and was pretty impressed... sounded pretty sleater-kinney derivative, but in a good way. hahaha so AP, Punkplanet, and punk news haven't given this cd a good review ridiculous...this is what happens when you give Anchors something to review that isn't uber screamo...for one thing this shit takes a while to grow on you...at first it seems like no big deal but the songs are hella catchy/cute and i don't know WHERE you got that the girls have bad voices cuz they sing really fucking well and it's perfect for this style of music i know everyone eventually says this about any band, but these are an awesome bunch of girls. What do rain, bird shit, and the trio of Andrea Lisi, Basia Andolsun, and Katy Otto have in common? They all come from the sky. |
