CD Reviews

The art of an album

K. kanguatjivi | Elmhurst, ny United States | 05/20/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This was and always will be one of the most haunting, beautiful, intense and O-R-I-G-I-N-A-L albums of the 1990's decade. The swirling screeching guitars, the crashing drums, the melancholy piano and Allison's sweet plaintive voice make up one of the most unforgettable albums of that time. If they had gotten half the attention of "goth" or "ethereal" bands like Sisters of Mercy or Cocteau Twins they would have been HUGE.

This album should be listened to as a whole since many of the songs blend together, still gems on here that deserve their own mention.

"Starblood" is one that is unmatched in its raw, primal, angry intensity and is as passionate as any great punk song. It is placed among songs like "Leaves of Summer" and "Adoration" which are as moving and sophisticated as any modern day classical composition.

This is a JEWEL that you must own.

"Some good moments, but overall this album never really "gets" me...

I'd recommend "Loved" for new Listeners."
