DM3 "Rippled Soul" 2000

DM3's third album is arguably their best. The song writing is probably leaning more towards pop than power pop which may be the result of more co-writes than on previous albums. Mariani's guitar playing is more highlighted than in past releases and the overall sound has a great warmth and depth.

"Huge guitars, cracking drums, killer harmonies and insanely catchy tunes. Everything that made me first love rock and roll is here and more." - The Big Takeover (US)
"Based on this disc and his other recorded output, DM3's Dom Mariani (late of the just-as wonderful Aussie combos the Someloves and the Stems) must be considered one of the top 5 pop titans of the past decade or so. Brilliant." - Goldmine (US)
"In all it's a perfect combination of sizzling guitars, pop dripping vocals and snappy inoffensive back beats wrapped around the most edibly infectious of melodies… and isn't that what true pop is meant to be all about." - The Drum Media (Sydney)
