The music is great, but..........2001-08-07

I love this movie, and decidedly because of the brilliant score. However, on CD, it doesn't translate as well. The score is still marvelous, but it does not stand alone well. I probably will not listen to this as often as I had hoped.

Strangely Unsuccessful.......2003-04-25

Given their skillful devotion to alt rock arena cliches, these guys were destined for mega stardom or obscurity. Needless to say, it turned out to be the latter, which is a shame because they make pretty pleasant music in the style of radio giants like Foo Fighters and The Goo Goo Dolls. Why do some bands make it while others flounder? Is it something about the lyrics? The tone of the vocals? Is it timing? Promotion? Perhaps the question cannot be answered. The album is quite enjoyable for those who enjoy the genre, and is recommended in spite of it's obscurity, trouble is, people who like this kind of music trend away from the unfamiliar, it a catch 22.

One of the best albums made........1999-09-09

It is a hard thing to do to wow em at every turn, but this album does it, nice music that doesn't overpower your eardrums with too much of anything, it is like a painting where anything more added would ruin the beauty that is there. I say go out and buy this CD, it is more than worth the price.

Beautiful lyrics, great melodies, and delicious arrangements.......1999-04-01

This is one of my favorite bands. The first time I heard them, I liked them so much I went up to the lead singer (Mark) afterwards and told him I thought they were fabulous. Which I've *never* done before. Every song is dynamite, though my current favorite is "Mercy Bound." Buy this! You'll love it (especially if you like mandolin, strings, and bass clarinet, and massively tasteful arrangements). And if you get a chance to see them live--go! They do some serious jamming.

a must have for every CD collection.......1999-01-17

This CD is one that you can put on your changer and leave it there. It sounds great when ever you hear it. The diversity of songs and instuments is refreshing. The words are amazing and truthful. Mercy Bound and Beatiful Struggle are full of emotion then there are some harder edged songs like over it and Olphelia that are straight off of modern rock radio. LOVE IT

Captured by the blend of melody and intensity.......1998-12-29

I don't know if anyone remembers a band called Trapeze from way back... they put out an album called Medusa and this album at times reminds me of the title track. The track Helicopter has a brooding intensity that grabs me without having the tired nihilistic flair that characterizes so much new music. I always look for listenability in an album, followed by the ability to stand up to repeated listening. For example, My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless" has both qualities in spades and constitutes an end point on this kind of scale (with, say, anything by Peter Frampton occupying the other end). This album rates about an 8 as far as I'm concerned. Catchy without being simplistic.
