Member CD Reviews Grace C. from CHULA VISTA, CA Reviewed on 6/21/2007... i love this record. it's so not like anything i've ever heard. rockin and melodious. 3 different singers mix it up.
CD ReviewsVersus as good as ever, but not great D. Gottfried | Portland, Oregon United States | 10/08/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "Versus are a sentimental favorite of mine. They were the last show that my wife and I went to when she was pregnant. Now, we don't go out much - a few rock fans out there might understand. Versus are also a sentimental favorite, in that their best songs have a winning, winsome quality about them that's hard to dislike. One could argue that Versus have actually gotten better over the years. Still, there's a frustrating quality that's present on all of their records:Inconsistency. About half or two thirds of their stuff is always good or great, and the rest is fairly crappy. "Hurrah" is really no different is this respect. Mostly it's a real good record, but as ususal there are the handful of duds to spoil it. "Frederick's of Hollywood" in particular is a real stinker. It goes on too long trying to rock out in a bland Sonic Youth-sounding jam. Not to dwell on the negative, songs like "Play Dead" and "Mermaid Legs" have that aforementioned sentimental Versus quality about them. Like most Versus recordings, "Hurrah" is more good than bad. If only they would release a definitive "Best of" . . ." Not their Best Christopher Bowers | buffalo, NY United States | 07/30/2005 (3 out of 5 stars) "This is by far Versus's worst album. (Keep in mind, all their other albums are fantastic) Everything sounds good on here, but most of the songs are lacking in one way or another when compared to any of their other albums. 'Stars are Insane' 'Secret Swingers' and '2 Cents plus tax' are all great albums. Versus won't blow you away when you first listen to them since their approach is not unique, but they do it better than most. I'd give 4-5 stars for all of their albums but this one.
Unfortunately this album sounds like a band going through the motions. There are a few great songs on this: "Play dead" and "Shangri-La" are great... and "mermaid Legs" and "walkabout" are good as well. Since its been 5 years since this, I'm curious to hear the next Versus album...I hear that there will be one" |
