I know it is something like easy-listening Pearl Jam, not very original, does not open gates to yet unknown musical gardens... But, my goodness, I love the tunes. For me, this is one of the greatest mixture of melody and energy, mood changes and feelings. Having a rock band myself 10 years ago, this was supposed to be the sound of it. But of course wasn't:)

Dishwalla has been on my favorites list from the very first time I slipped on their melodic pearls of wisdom. Every track is brilliant and adds yet another precious paragon to my music jewelry box.....great for any mood, anytime!

I've been a fan of Dishwalla since "Pet your friends", their first album. On "opaline", they display a wide range of sounds such as the tabla on the first track. Overall I highly reccomend this album wholeheartedly. btw Dishwalla took their name from cable t.v. pirates in India.

It was tough to follow up "And you think you know what life is about" but it was well done. Sit down and enjoy this from beginning to end. The more you spin it the better it gets. Very good and worth your downloads.

They Say All Music Guide

In mid-1996, Dishwalla’s “Counting Blue Cars” was one of the most overplayed songs of the summer. It was a melodic masterpiece of passion for radio fans and powerful in making the bandmembers into international superstars. And You Think You Know What Life’s About (1998) didn’t fare as well, but the band’s third effort, Opaline, marks a return to form: heavy guitar work layered over J.R. Richards’ heartily sweet vocals. It’s definitely pop-friendly, and Dishwalla’s approach to the album as a whole is carefree. Grainy acoustic guitars dance around spiritual salvation in songs like “Home” and “Somewhere in the Middle.” “Mad Life” is equally impressive, but “Angels or Devils” is Opaline’s brightest track. String arrangements build the stormy romance of the song, harking back to the idea that time heals all wounds. Dishwalla have a message. They’re suckers for the perfect hook. Opaline is a decent rock record and fans should be pleased. – MacKenzie Wilson
