Foot tapping fun! - By: , 07 Oct 2001 
From the first song on the cd, you can tell the type of music that there is. Although it is a musical, the lyrics of the song are thought provoking & have some hidden meaningsin it if you listen carefully. There are soulfull numbers such as 'Don't let the sun catch you crying' to the more fast-paced & funnier numbers such as 'Safe, sane & single'. Its hard to not tap your feet to it whilst listening. If you love the songs you have to buy the vidoe also, due to the awesome dance routines & hilarious interaction with the audience. You don't get as much of a sense of audience participation with this cd, though there are elements, such as the song 'Caldonia'. Overall, it is a fun cd which has songs for all occasions & emotions of when you break up with someone you love. Follow the journey of No Max & those 5 crazy Guys Named Moe!
They're the greatest band around! - By: , 23 Aug 2001 Louis Jordan's buzzing lyrics teamed together with Clarke Peter's cutting book team together to create the Five Guys Named Moe. (the name given to the band who played with Louis Jordan backin 20's).
The show is about Nomax, a young Jamaican who is a heavy smoker & alcohlic who has just been dumped by his girlfriend. While it's "Earlyin the Morning", the greatest hip-hop, be-bop, jazzy, swinging, coolest band pop out of the radio & try to talk some sense into him.
The vocals are astounding on this, the music is superb & will have you boppingin time & the lyrics are crammed with jokes, black humour, 20's slang & yet have the biting edge that keeps the show seriousin places. Allin all, a great recording, my only complaint is that not all of the show is included & so the storyline is lost but this is an exceelent concept recording.
