Newest Review: ... and varied. The band were always based around Mike Scott, the frontman and song writer and the line up changed around him, ... more

 ... so he was able to adventure in through various musical realms. This albums reflects the high point of their "big music" period, stadium rock for the soul. Songs such as the The Pan Within and the brief but poiniant Spirit explore the freedom of the inner self that Scott always seemed to hanker after. There is always a duality to his ideas on this album, a comparison between man and what man can become. "Man seems spirit is man dreams the spirit lives man is tethered spirit is free what spirit is man ca...more

Premium Review This Is The Sea - Waterboys: "if that was the river, this is the sea" (626 words)

The Waterboys were once quoted as being the only band to use trumpets in their music and get away with it. As this album opens you see what they meant, a long drawn out Spanish-esque wail of trumpets rising to a crescendo before being joined by earth-pounding beats and Mike Scotts all too distinctive voice. Power, imagery and emotion carry you off through the fantastic opener, Dont Bang the Drum, before landing you squarely into the more familiar territory of The Whole of The Moon. If you know any Waterboys song, its probably this one, and it fairly typifies what the band were about during this phase of life. The writting has a spiritual quality, very much about the soul ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review This is the best album in the world! (499 words)

This, quite simply, is one of my favourite albums of all time. It is the third Waterboys album and marks the culmination of the 'Big Music' period, which started off subtlely in 'The Waterboys' and 'A Pagan Place' before trailing off a bit in 'Fisherman's Blues'. It's a shame in a way that they went along the more traditional folk route after this album, because the Big Music style with soaring saxophones and violins really shows off their musical expertise. Track 1 - Don't Bang the Drum starts off really mellow, then erupts with loads of drums, which tug at the heartstrings, especially with Mike Scott's fierce but ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review This Is The Sea - Waterboys: BIG BANG (1270 words)
by - written on 25/07/01 (Very useful, 128 readings)
Rating:

"The WaterBoys" were formed in the early 1980's by Edinburgh (yehh) born Mike Scott, the primary song-writer/singer for the group. The other two original principal members were Anthony Thistlewaite, saxaphone and Karl Wallinger, keyboards. They released a couple of albums and singles to critical acclaim but not any great commercial success altho they still managed to build a loyal fan base. The Eighties was a decade of big things - big mobile phones, big hair, big bang and big songs. "The WaterBoys" soon developed a reputation for big songs, soaring walls of sound, screaching sax, tortured vocals , big drums. But all ...  Read the complete review

Decent entertainment If you're not a fan of the show, you won't enjoy it.

The Absinthe Dreams - Path Of No Return
Song structure is strong, the album is always excellent to listen to. The music is not hugely original.

Street Poetry - Hanoi Rocks
An upbeat album featuring a few tracks of Glam Rock glory. Some of the tracks fast become really rather irritating.

Rape Of The Bastard Nazerene - Akercocke
Some nice, raw, devilish metal from posh Londoners. Interludes are far too frequent, far too tedious and far too terrible.

Good mixed tempos and rifts run out of idea towards and of album

Good incorporation of classic metal style, with great guitars and improved vocals. Too content to be nothing new.

Lyrics in Finnish, for natives who hate English. Dull and ineffective.

80s influenced and anthemic, girls are doing what they want, great for a sing a long few weak links, wouldn't have minded maintaining the escapism in regards to feelings, etc.
