Part 5: Public Enemy to Dixie Chicks (1989-2006)The brave, early activists of the US AIDS movement knew that Silence = Death. Throughout history it's "Put up", we're told, "Shut up", we're threatened. Praise to those who set their protest to song and act up! [20 July 2007] Reviews
Super Furry Animals: Dark Days/Light YearsVeteran Welsh psych-pop quintet continue to evolve, while revisiting the tripped-out, up-tempo sounds of their early days. [17 April 2009] Super Furry AnimalsThe last time the Super Furry Animals played Philadelphia, they rode on stage in a golf cart. So, understandably, there’s an odd sense of trepidation as the small crowd notices that the stage is bereft of props. [12 February 2008] 
Super Furry Animals: Hey Venus!Welsh band's eighth studio album is everything its predecessor was not: immediately likeable, swiftly paced, and mercilessly brief. [5 September 2007]

Super Furry Animals: Songbook: The Singles, Vol. 1Wales' favorite sons celebrate a decade of making Pure Pop for Now People with this collection of genre-defying singles. [2 March 2005] 
Super Furry Animals: Phantom PhorceFans of electronic music will find plenty of tracks on Phantom Phorce to rock their bodies (other artists on the album not mentioned previously include Four Tet, Boom Bip, Zan Lyons, and Massimo); however, those who know the original material will get the most satisfaction from the remixes. [6 July 2004]
Super Furry Animals: Phantom PowerPhantom Power sounds more understated and warmer than its predecessor, but still retains both the ambitious and ridiculously catchy elements that we’ve come to love from this band. [6 August 2003]
Super Furry Animals: Rings Around the WorldRife with energy and overflowing with ideas, experiments, and glorious pop hooks, Super Furry Animals make a huge, bold statement with this album: they want to be a great band, not merely a good band, and with Rings Around the World, they just might have accomplished that feat.
