Album Review - Stereophonics - Live from Dakota

By Tracy M. Rogers

Nearly 10 years after the formation of the Stereophonics, guitarist 
Kelly Jones and company are at the height of their popularity with 
critics and fans alike. Dedicated to the latter, the band's two-CD, 
20-track live set Live from Dakota captures the Stereophonics at the 
peak of its 2005 Language. Sex. Violence. Other? tour. Featuring tracks 
that span the collective's nine-year career, Live from Dakota is a 
hybrid of music -- with visceral heavy metal guitars, crisp punk-infused 
drums, and Jones' wailing cockney sneer -- that is equally inspired by 
Radiohead, Metallica, and Oasis.
