Credible Start for The Pierces

"The vocals on this CD are amazing. Obviously, The Pierces are credited with utilizing incredible harmonies. However, each of their voices stand alone as great talents.



The lyrics on this CD are not as wonderful as the voices singing them. It is obvious that the group just sort of wrote and ran with what they had. As a result, the songs seem fit for a junior high school student to sing. Most of the songs sound very similar as well and can get boring near the end.



It is a shame that "Save Me" was not included on this CD. However, thankfully five years later the sisters added it to their second CD.



The best songs on this album are "Blood" and "I'll Be Dreaming." They are very simple, beautiful and not overwhelmingly trite.



It seems that the sisters, if they have the tenacity it takes in the industry, are on their way to certain success. They could even reach the respectability of Sarah McLachlan or a mellow, happy Fiona Apple."

Why aren't they famous yet?

"Last summer I was in a friend's car and she popped in the pierces cd...first i noticed the beautiful harmonies and simply the unique sound of the music, but then i began to listen to the lyrics. they really moved me! it's a great CD because in one way, every person can probably relate to the message each song conveys. How many of us have felt, "All I want is what I cannot have"? Yeah, well then THE WAY is your song. The guitar music is great, along with the relaxing tone of the CD overall. The only thing that's lacking is a true hard core happy song to lift up the mood of it a bit. if you like natalie merchant and sarah maclachlan, you'll love the pierces."

Something different

"I wouldn't classify these sisters as Indigo Girls-brand. They are in a different style, with a lighter touch and a less-world-centered commentary in their lyrics. However, they DO have the same amazing song-writing ability and phenomenal harmonies. I cannot imagine anyone would be disappointed with their album. I, too, really wish to hear new material by them. Why Britney Spears gets radio play and these two go unheard is one of the many crimes of overcommercialized... radio. Give them a spin, you will not be disappointed."
