Review - :
Circa 1995, most new {\rock} bands still appeared mesmerized by the sounds that had originated from Seattle just a few years earlier. In other words, issuing an album that sounded influenced by the likes of {$the Cult} and {$Mötley Crüe} was about as far from expected as possible. But it appears that no one ever told that to Helsinki's {$the 69 Eyes}, who issued their third full-length overall in 1995, {^Savage Garden}. Not quite as "in your face" as its predecessor a year earlier (1994's {^Motor City Resurrection}), {^Savage Garden} includes several tracks that would have sounded right at home in 1988, including the melodic {&"Velvet Lunch"} (which is an obvious stab at crossover success), as well as more rough n' rocking fare, such as {&"Tang,"} {&"Mr. Pain,"} and {&"Motor City Resurrection."} With '80s-era {\rock} suddenly back en vogue circa the early 21st century, bands like {$the 69 Eyes} -- who were mining similar sonic territory years earlier -- suddenly appeared like trendsetters. [The 2007 reissue of {^Savage Garden} includes three extra tracks, but they can also all be found on the reissue of {^Motor City Resurrection}.] ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
