Are they any good? Just heard 'Open Your Eyes' and thought it was pretty cool.

IceBus · 12 Feb 2006 at 20:06

I really like them. Check out 'Big In Japan', 'You Can't Stop Me' and 'Electric Nights'. Their albums can be a bit inconsistent but they have some awesome songs.

Yeah they're good i picked up a live album when i was in spain and really like it.

Planet of the Apes is a great album.

Fantastic band. I've been listening to them for the past number of years.

Yet again another top German Band.

I think they are pretty awful, and that "Open Your Eyes" is the only good song by them. But maybe that's just me

You must be getting confused with Arctic Monkeys.

Ive heard a few songs by them over the years and liked what I heard, never listened to a full album though.

Is that a cover of the Alphaville version? If so sacrilege!

I know who Guano Apes are but I've never knowingly listed to them despite one of my mates liking them.

Same for me also. Heard the 'Open Your Eyes' song on that ninja video and looked into the band more, wasn't that impressed. /shrugs.

they're pretty hit and miss unfortunately. if you're interested, i'll make a track list when i get home of their songs that dont suck. there are quite a few, but then there's a lot that do suck. hard.
