Becoming X by Sneaker Pimps

Pros: New take on trip-hop, Dayton's vocals, rock guitar
Cons: Weaker 2nd half...

It would have been easier for Sneaker Pimps to simply draw on the success of earlier trip-hop innovators. Sure, they formed after the success of bands like Everything But The Girl and Portishead, but their sound was edgy and...

Pros: Great electronic effects and Dayton's voice is that of a fallen angel.
Cons: The band split and this is the only example of the tragic genius.

Released in 1996 this album is most known for the song Six Underground. The Nellee Hooper edit was on the Saint sound track and gave the band international attention. The band consisted of Kelli Dayton, Chris Corner and Liam Howe. Dayton's vocals, ...

Pros: Wonderfully Intricate, Sweetly Dark, Undeniably Original. Kelly Dayton's voice, Chris & Liam's songwriting ability.
Cons: Kelli Dayton has since left the band...

Think for a minute.... if you heard someone crying in the middle of any album (simply flat-out crying) , what would be your reaction? Most of us would probably be laughing, either at the fact that there is crying in a song, or the fact that their strife...

Pros: the entire album is amazing
Cons: the fact that this is The Sneaker Pimps only album

For those of you who have never heard (or don't think you've heard, although you probably have) the music of the Sneaker Pimps, head over to one of the internet bookstore/music stores and give them a listen. Those short bursts of music are probably...

Pros: kelli's voice, depth of each song
Cons: none

The funky, dark British outfit Sneaker Pimps have had some rough times, and already the brilliant singer Kelli Dayton-Ali is now doing her own thing, after she was pushed out of the band. They've been categorized as just another Portishead or labeled as...

Pros: great group!, individualism, great songs, positive music
Cons: nothing

Sneaker Pimps is a great music group. They consist of guys and one girl. My favorite songs from them is "Six Underground" and "Spin Spin Sugar". Their music is safe and a delight to listen to. I like the group because they are...

Pros: Great groovy beats
Cons: None

I know this album isn't classified as Goth, but the places we've heard the hit songs such as "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" and "The Saint" give you that feel. The dark, techno-pop vibes groove you into a hypnotic trance that leaves you...

Pros: Moody sort of techno-goth feel to it, Kelli's blazing voice
Cons: not every music store carries it

Becoming X is by far the most innovative, creative, and distinctive CD I have ever heard. If you've read the other reviews I know you've seen people say the Sneaker Pimps are hard to classify but it's true. A mix of pop, goth, and techno Becoming X is...

Pros: fast to slow transitions, lulling sound, fast paced beat
Cons: none!

The Sneaker Pimps album Becoming X is great! This has probly been 1 of my favorite c.d.'s for over 4 years! The music is so smooth & it can take you from hard to soft & lulling in a matter of minutes, just like a thrill ride! It's like 1 of those...
