Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot is possible one of the most underrated sparklehorse albums — one that definitely deserves more attention. Not only is it full of great songs, but despite the low budget recording, it sounds incredible!

I'm really glad that, unlike the vinyl edition of Dreamt For Light Years, which failed to include the title track (why would they do that!?) this one comes with all the songs and a great little bonus 7" that includes two of my favourite tracks from the Distorted Ghost EP namely: Waiting For Nothing & Happy Place — which really made up for the fact that I was a little sore about the title track not being included on the For Light Years LP — and furthermore made me happy that I'd ordered both together.

If you are a fan of Sparklehorse, you'll definitely want to get this album. If you've never heard it before, don't judge it immediately, instead remember that it took a few listens to really fall in love with It's A Wonderful Life (or which ever album grabbed you — for that matter) and let this one grow on you too, you will be richly rewarded if you do.

This album is amazing!! A must have for any Sparklehorse fan! The songs are almost hypnotizing. Every song is great! Sad And Beautiful World is my personal favorite. It's hauntingly beautiful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Moments of Brilliance
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2012
This is a fascinating, yet sometimes uneven collection of songs. When I first heard this album back in the mid-90s, I was both bewildered and intrigued by the various sonic layers of feedback and instrumentation that Linkous used on the songs. What was this music? I still can't put a label on it, except to say that it still fascinates me; each listen revealing new subtle suprises and joy. At the time this album was released, there was nothing else that sounded remotely similar to it. At least nothing else I was listening to at the time. I would give this 5 stars just for being ambitious and taking chances. I don't love every song, but there are some tunes on here that transport me to amazing places. Favorites include "Spirit Ditch," "Rainmaker," and "Hammering the Cramps." But the supreme jewel for me is "Someday I Will Treat You Good," a song so joyous and inspiring that it make me feel like digging in the closet for an old pair of poms-poms and waving them in the air. Great stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars what the...how did this band get by me?
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2019
It's been only a few years since I heard the name Sparklehorse for the first time while watching a KEXP performance by Happyness on You Tube, with Cheryl Waters having brought them up. So it's only very recently I'm realizing they're one of my favorite bands. Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot, their first album, has the genius of Linkous on full display, with one great song after another. I could loop "Cow" for an hour straight without getting tired of it. For me, this has been a little like discovering Yo La Tengo, Pavement, or Brian Jonestown Massacre for the first time, except for the depressing realization I'll never catch Sparklehorse live.

Peccato che sia arrivata danneggiata la custodia. Spesso con i cd spediti da Amazon sebbene i pacchetti siano integri, le copertine di plastica arrivano con qualche danno.

5.0 out of 5 stars 牧歌的、かつ切ない大傑作。
Reviewed in Japan on December 10, 2016

傑作の1stアルバムです。
日本での知名度はかなり低いようですが、ブラー、XTC、エリオットスミス等、ビートルズからの影響が強いアーティストは沢山いますが、その手のアーティストの中では最も聴きやすく、最もイカレてます。
とにかく激しいのも静かなのも、とてもポップで良いです。本当にいい曲ばかりです。

奥さんとの静かな田舎暮らしの中で、大好き音楽をコツコツ録りためたんでしょうかね。
これを作った時点では、当然かもしれませんが、リンカスの人生の集大成だったんでしょう。
素敵です。一生聴くと思います。
