Some really catchy and slickly produced shoegaze. Most songs are sung with both male and female vocals that tend to trade off just as much as they harmonize. It's really great stuff.
It's literally been years since I last listened to more than a handful of songs off this album, which is kinda funny, what with its being fantastic and all that. The man's work in the latter part of the 70s overshadows the earlier stuff like this for me, so I guess that must have something or other to do with it.
Was never really a fan of him before, only skimmed some of his stuff in the past. However, after re-watching The Last Waltz, I decided to give him another go after his great performance. This si the first of his I've ripped from cd.
Just digging this out since being prompted by that post in Album Reviews. In the shape of 100 Years Ago, Angie, Starfucker and the below song it has four of the Stones' best songs on it. The less interesting moments (gotta say that Coming Down and Winter are pretty crap songs) even it up as a weaker followup to Exile On Main Street though. Still an album I'd recommend to anyone though.
^jackhammer recommended this to me, and so far, I approve greatly. This isn't a very loud album, but it gives the impression that it's much larger than it actually is, and the drums sound epic on this album. This is pretty much my introduction to Atmospheric Metal, and a great one too.
