One of my favorite CDs. Years after my first listen I go back again and again. The tracks generations, saviour, bitches brew, here comes the flood and two worlds collide are awesome. Five great tracks on one album is hard to find.

4.0 out of 5 stars (Four and a half stars) Their best album
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2005
Basically with the very solid "Revenge of the Goldfish," the Inspiral Carpets combined the best aspects of their buoyant retro-sounding debut album, "Life," and their more serious weightier second album, "The Beast Inside." Start to finish, "Revenge" is exciting, and a pleasure to listen to. I especially like four songs: "Generations," "I'm Not Your Saviour," "Smoking Her Clothes," and "Two Worlds Collide," which I consider four of the band's all-time best. The first two mentioned need almost be listened to together in order to fully appreciate each. Along with "Smoking Her Clothes" the band demonstrates tremendous vitality, with fine lyrics and great vocal and organ work. "Two Worlds Collide," has an almost apocalyptic feel to it, and is easily the band's most interestingly unique song.

While there are other British bands from this period that I like better -- i.e. The Stone Roses, Charlatans, Verve, Ride, Catherine Wheel -- "Revenge of the Goldfish," which is the Inspiral Carpets at their best, stands up as among the better albums from the British groups of this era. No other post-1960s band has used a retro-sounding organ so effectively as Inspiral organist Clint Boon did. Plus, Tom Hingley's vocal work really stands out here, and is quite different from those other Ian Brown (Stone Roses) sounding front-men.

5.0 out of 5 stars Revenge of the Goldfish - Inspiral Carpets
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2005
Even after a few years, this album still sounds great to my ears. I recall the day I heard "Dragging me down" on a "Live to Air" radio broadcast from a local bar a radio station I grew up listening to over the border in Toronto was doing and it was a great tune. From then on I purchased this album and have been a fan ever since, other notable tracks on this album which in my opinion are solid are "Two Worlds Collide, Bitches Brew and Disappeared." I would definitely suggest if you are a fan of the alternative movement from the 90s this should be included in your library of CDs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring Inspirals
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2004
This album has always been in my heart since I was in college, a wonderful collection of songs that are uplifting, melancholy, these guys got a raw deal when they came out cuz they did have stupid haircuts, but the music is straight no BS full of worthwhile lyrics, and arrangements that are quite amusing and skillful. This album is better than Life less, depressed than the beast inside, I think the production holds up really well 11years after, get it now before its reissued with some tacky badge and extra tracks not meant to be there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless classic
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2003
As an earlier reviewer stated time is the best judge for music. I started encoding all my CDs and after 2 moves across country I had lost touch with alot of my collection so when unboxing them and listening to them all again I forgot how good Inspiral Carpets were. Where did these guys go?
Anyway this is probably the best album next to Beast Inside. If your new to IC start here. Wow what a great album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relisten, not review!
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2002
Time is best judge of music. Not sales or fans or media. Just time. And this brilliant album aged gloriously. Ten yars later,
still powerful, contagious, euforical and fresh, it step to a
higher level, where only masterpieces have place.
Sales...
Critics...
Hype...
Who cares?
The art work on this album sings for it self!

The greatest sadness of all, is the fact that, when i die,i will never be able to take this record to heaven...

5.0 out of 5 stars Indie/Pop at it.s Best
Reviewed in Germany on April 17, 2010

INSPIRAL CARPETS sind eine Indie/Pop-Band aus England, die sich zwar 1995 nach ihrer Auflösung, 2003 Wiedervereinigt haben, aber bis dato kein Album mehr herausbrachten. Ob sie z.Zt. noch existieren weiß ich schlicht und einfach nicht.

Ich habe alle CDs von ihnen, aber die "Revenge Of The Goldfish", ist mir die liebste Silberplatte.

Auf 12 Stücken wird Indie/Pop vom feinsten zelebriert. Eingängig, sehr gut gespielt und nie aufdringlich, aber auch nie langweilig.

Pop, Rock, Ska...es sind die Vielzahl an unterschiedlichsten Stilen bei denen es INSPIRAL CARPETS immer wieder verstehen, diese, so hervorragend zu vermischen.

Ob schön rockig, wie auf "Fire" und "Little Disappeared", oder Balladenmäßig, wie auf "Rain Song", oder einfach nur flüssig und einprägsam wie auf den anderen Stücken, "Revenge Of The Goldfish" ist eine sehr gute Indie/Pop-Platte. (Auch das Artwork finde ich sehr gelungen).

Ich habe sie desöfteren im Player. Eine tolle Band und ein toller Silberling.

Bought this in the days of Tower Records and their 'No Risk Disk' Took a couple of listens but was grabbed by opener "Generations" and hit "Two Worlds Collide" and loved the cover. Listening now I think I appreciate it more. IC did make some good low key indie pop and ROTG is by far the highlight of their output. May not win new fans but for those looking to recaptur the early nineties this is a pretty good start

5.0 out of 5 stars Generations???
Reviewed in Germany on March 3, 2003

Revenge of the Goldfish ist alles was ein vernünftiges Rave-Album haben muß. In England mal wieder ein voller Erfolg gewesen und in Deutschland ein Schattendasein geführt. Die erste Single Generations kracht schnell und mal wieder mit Orgel durch die Beine. Die Musik könnte im Prinzip jeder mögen, der auch alternativen Rock mag. Und als EMF und Jesus Jones sich schlafen legten, legten die Carpets nach! Anhören und Kaufen!!!

Wer die Inspiral Carpets mag, sollte dieses Album haben - es bietet eine unglaubliche Vielfältigkeit, da zündet nicht alles, aber es bietet großartig Songs wie Bitches Brew, Dragging me down und und und, als wäre es schon ein Best-of der Band
