At a time when many Christian Rock acts are trying their hardest to come up with new and original sounding music, Kosmos Express is just trying to be popular, and sometimes that means sounding like everyone else. While Kosmos Express may sound a lot like Bush, Oasis, and Weezer, they are filling a void in Christian music. Until NOW, good Christian British influenced rock was hard to come by.
The photo of Heathrow airport (London) on the cover, and the lead singer's British accent would make you think that these guys are from England - but their not. Don't get us wrong, we really do dig this album. Above average musical talent and good production make listening to this CD an enjoyable experience, and places it on a level with today's top mainstream acts.
Other coverage for this album
The Phantom Tollbooth 1997Reviewed by Josh SpencerGreat alternative rock, with a wide variety of musical influences: Nirvana, Weezer, Poor Old Lu (their last album), Lifesavers, etc. It still has a unique sound, with 60s-ish bass lines and percussion thrown in and just their own cool sound. Vocals sometimes sound like Oasis. I like this band a lot. 3.5 tocksSimilar sounding releases
