Start Static by Sugarcult

Pros: Great album for the pop punk genre, excellent first half
Cons: A little short, second half is not as good, not more bands like this

I honestly don’t really like pop punk that much. They all sound generic, whiny, and repetitive. I do however enjoy some bands such as the Bouncing Souls and Green Day (Pre American Idiot) but I don’t really listen to too many other ...

Pros: Not more of the same
Cons: at least 'the same' had a bit more personality

The last time I reviewed a pop/punk CD I received troubled comments because I said all punk is pop/punk. I will not retract that statement, but I will go in a different, probably less controversial, direction with this review. Sugarcult is not punk....

Pros: All of the songs are catchy with lyrics that most teens can relate to.
Cons: The album is really short, most songs are only 3 minutes long.

The album is different, but in a good way. There's catchy songs that you just can't get out of your head. I just bought it myself less than a week ago and I can't stop listening to it. For the most part, the songs are pop/rock songs that talk about ...

Pros: Superbly catchy Pop Punk music, strong choruses.
Cons: Can take a while to get used to the music and fully appreciate it.

'Start Static' is the 2001 release from California's Sugarcult. It was their third album and is one that I hold in particularly high regard. It's probably my favourite that the band have recorded to date and is one that I go back and listen to an awful ...

Pros: Well crafted, well written, heavy but not inaudible, poppy but not saccharin
Cons: Too short, each song is roughly 3mins.

I've got to say, I'm really impressed with these cats. I saw them live opening for Reel Big Fish and of the 3 opening acts I was drawn into them the most. They seemed really professional and tight and well organized (at least their music did.) They...

Pros: Some good lyrics and catchy songs.
Cons: Short. Some repetition.

Having first heard of Sugarcult about a year ago and buying the CD soon after its release, I have gotten a little bored with this album. However, there is no doubt that there is some talent within this band, and their personality is fun, too. While on...

Pros: Upbeat, catchy songs
Cons: A few songs sound like everyone else.

Start Static is going to be big. Sugarcult haven't really been noticed until recently on the Van Wilder's soundtrack and a couple other movies. The CD itself is good, just good. I'm a big fan of Sugarcult's but i can admit that it lacks a little depth,...

Pros: Good lyrics, original topics, good vocals
Cons: Short album, similar sounding songs

The first thing you'll notice with this album is how annoyingly short the songs are. The album reaches just over half an hour in total, and with 12 songs it isn't really as good an amount as it could be.
Many bands albums sound similar, but...

Pros: Upbeat, peppy, and fun to listen to or sing along with!
Cons: The CD could be a tad longer, the eleven tracks leave the listener craving more.

I first put Sugarcult's "Start Static" into my system not expecting much more than another superficial punk-rock band. I had heard "Bouncing Off the Walls" earlier in the week and couldn't get the song out of my head. However, I still figured this...

Pros: Good sound, catchy lyrics, not too hard, not too soft
Cons: Short tracks, repetitive sound

This CD is a great CD from this band. The lyrics are catchy and the music is the kind you can turn up and enjoy, not go deaf from. It isn't a bunch of kids thrashing around on guitars and screaming. There is actually some really good music on this CD....

Pros: Amazing first album. Superhits "Bouncing off the Walls" and "Pretty Girl"
Cons: Couldn't find any.

Sugarcult's first album, Start Static, is pound-for-pound one of the best albums of the year. "Pretty Girl" and "Bouncing off the Walls" aren't the only singles off a fantastic album that has hit the nation by surprise. "Bouncing off the Walls" was the...

Pros: Very up beat, punk influences, but a little glam...punk/pop/alt fans should all enjoy it
Cons: too short

So maybe 9 months ago, my cd player was broken, so using my newfound digital cable, i listened to the alt station. after maybe a month of straight listening, i come to the point where i've heard this song "stuck in america" 10 times by this band...

Pros: Songs are very upbeat.
Cons: Most of the songs sound the same.

Well, overall it's a pretty good CD. Catchy lyrics and an upbeat sound make this the perfect party a ...

Pros: where to start??? is there an end???
Cons: how can you even ask that question

so there i was.....standing in the middle of Media Play...deciding on which album i would buy....the new goldfinger (my favorite band...i got the album later) or Sugarcult's debut "start static". Obviously it was a tough decision but i chose the cult....

Pros: Great CD! I love it!
Cons: There is nothing bad about it!

Sugarcult is the best. Start Static, Sugarcults debut CD, simply rocks. It a combination of punk/alternative/rock. It's really in a genre of it's own. I enjoy every single song on the album. If you like new Blink 182 or Lit, you will enjoy this CD....
