 Bed Bath and Beyond the Time Barrier Jan 09, 2009
Eve's Plum. I originally became familliar with them via their big hit "I Want it All" off their first album Envy. But I originally found this disc in a thrift store for a dollar and bought it just for a lark. (Wans't in the best condition hence my ordering it here) But then I played it and fell in love. From the first few bars of track one you could tell they were kind of starting to hit their stride and establish themselves as an entity. Another band that was underrated and went out of business before their time. Well on the upside they did stay together a while. 91-98. This album has a great cover version of Loved by You. They totally make it their own and Colleen Fitzpatrick's voice in this version I must say is quite arousing. This is a must have and a keeper. Trivia: Colleen Fitzpatrick went on to become Pop Singer Vitamin C.

Ahead of their time... Apr 04, 2007
I think Colleen and Co. were ahead of their time with their group, I love this album- it's now one of my favorite cds (which yes I still listen to both the Vitamin C cds- they're very fun and catchy). I think had they been a new band on today's scene they would have gotten perhaps a bit more attention- they have some pop, rock, new wave, alt all mixed in together and actually with the way she does her lyrics and what have you she sorta reminds me of Eve 6 with their catchy beats and words. No matter what anyone else thinks I've always rooted for Colleen/Vitamin C and I'm so glad to have found this album.

 A stellar effort from one of the best bands to emerge from the 90's Aug 14, 2006
While this album was not as good as Eve's Plum's first CD "Envy", this was a great follow up. The music changed quite a bit from Envy (not quite as angry) but their single "Jesus Loves You" with it's extremley strange video hooked me and I wanted to support one of my favorite bands. The opening track "Jesus loves you" was a stellar opening followed by the pop sounding "Wishing the day away" takes on an interesting journey with the amazing vocals of Colleen Fitzpatrick. The track "Lipstuck" is great fun but "Fairy Princess" is the stand out track of the album. A absolute must for Eve's Plum fans and music lovers. Colleen went on to become Vitamin C and most Eve's Plum fans will not get into her solo stuff (Think Britney Spears). Colleen's finest work was easily Eve's Plum and they were the best band to emerge from the 1990's. Yes Colleen I still have a crush on you ;)

One of the best of the 90's Jun 28, 2005
Eve's Plum's CHERRY ALIVE is one of the best, forgotten CD's of the 90's. It stands as one of the finest examples of "alternapop".
Lead singer Colleen Fitzpatrick began her career as an actress, appearing in John Waters film HAIRSPRAY, before becoming part of the group. This was the groups second album (their previous CD ENVY wasn't as good as this one).
The group would have a big MTV and radio hit with "Jesus Loves You (but not as much as I do)". As good a single as that song was, it isn't even the best of the CD.
The CD is filled with terrific songs, "Wishing the Day Away", the title track "Cherry Alive" which had a brief run on the radio, "Lipstuck" (probably the funniest and catchiest song ever written about someone mistaking a glue stick for lipstick), and several others.
Unfortunately, the album didn't make as big as an impact as they should have. Soon after the release of this CD, Colleen would go on her own, changing her name and image, and becoming "Vitamin C". It was a rather big shock to the alternative music scene. I'm still trying to get over it.
But, CHERRY ALIVE still sounds great. One of the best CDs of the 90's that you have probably never heard.

 Not as good as what Vitamin C has to offer.... Sep 26, 2004
I was actually exposed to Vitamin C [Colleen Fitzpatrick, Eve's Plum's lead vocalist] before Eve's Plum. In fact, I only listened to this because I heard she was part of this band before she started her solo career. And quite frankly, I was disappointed. Her solo stuff is so much better. This is annoying, repetitive, blaring garage rock, not nearly as catchy as Vitamin C's stuff. Yeah, she may have succumbed to generic but addictive radio pop, but I think that's a good thing. This stuff is just crap. Go check out Colleen's solo albums instead.
