Customer Reviews
The great beginning...
I started with Little Miss Sunshine and worked my way backward in DeVotchKa's discography. This album is a little different from their later work, with some musicians that are no longer with the band. But their unique sound started here, has carried on and become greater. Supermelodrama is more raucous, with more of an American indie-rock sound, but sets itself apart with violins, accordions, etc, and some cool guitars and beats. It's fun to hear, to sing, to dance to, and the lyrics are always great. I won't even bother comparing it, because it's unlike anything I'd ever heard before. There's not a bad song on the album.
Super Supermelodrama
Never having heard of this group until "Little Miss Sunshine", I was very pleasantly surprised with their cd. Our family plays all their cds constantly.
A must-own album!
Wow! At a time when music on the radio is so stale and you think everything that can be done has been, this band comes along. Besides being excellent musicians, they put on an energetic live show and have a sense of humor. Extra points for the pink xmas lights on the tuba and use of the phrase "socially retarded" in "Danglin' Feet". Their music was described to me as "mariachi polka punk" with a hint of Ian McCulloch (Echo & the Bunnymen) in the singer's voice. Sounds like a strange combination, but it works! If you are looking for quality music, BUY THIS ALBUM!!

An excellent band. An excellent album. An amazing show. A cool buch of people. Buy it.
A breath of fresh air!
This album is by far one of the best underground albums I've ever heard. It is a very unique blend of Russian/gypsy style music and good ole rock'n'roll. The magic created by this Colorado band is a wonderful breath of fresh air in the mostly stagnant popular music scene of the last few years. I challange anyone to listen to this album and NOT be dancing their all over the place!
