Search - Tsunami :: Brilliant Mistake

Their most accomplished album

03/16/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Tsunami have come a long way from their early abrasive days via the fragmented "Heart's Tremolo" to this album, which is definitely their greatest accomplishment so far. They are one of the few bands who have a distinctive style and still enough creativity to be able to offer a wide range of musical ideas, which makes this album both interesting and eminently listenable. While perhaps a bit more mainstream than their previous recordings, "A Brilliant Mistake" is the document of a band who knows what they're doing and who are really, really good at it. While the overall mood seems a bit melancholic, there's a number of catchy tunes, too, but not one single weak track."

Just brilliant, no mistakes

"This band almost means more in their absence then if they were on the major label album-tour-album-tour grind. This album is full of bittwersweet, biting lyrics. Tsunami looks inward, and sees a microcosm of modern life. Their primary focus is living life on their terms, and the struggles that this goal entails. "A Brilliant Mistake" is inspirational and necessary. Every person who believes in something other than corporate life should own this album."
