Editorial Review: Album Description: CD reissue of the 1995 release, the fifth album by this Alternative/College Rock outfit led by Kristin Hersh. Often cited as one of the band's best albums overall, University reached #10 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and contains some of Hersh's most intense and melodic songwriting yet. Wounded Bird. 2006. Amazon.com: Recorded with the trio that cut Red Heaven in '91. This effort is well produced, accessible and artistically mature. The Muses sound better than ever on tracks like "Bright Yellow Gun" and "Shimmer."Jeff Bateman Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - my fave TMstunning melodies framed with absolutely brutal guitar, bass and drums. great lyrics too. haunting, uplifting and rockin'. what could be better? Rating: - Where was I?I can't remember where I was when I first heard Kristen Hersch and Throwing Muses. I'm not even sure what made me go out and purchase "University", but there it was, popped into my CD player - again, and again, and again, and again. I couldn't find anyone to share my enthusiasm over this record and was fairly dumbfounded as to why TM was not on the lips of every indy rocker out there. Just mine. But that was okay, because I had found something that no one else had or seemed to appreciate. "University" was a turning point for me, as I had finally discovered music that somebody made that seemed to be made just for me. I didn't care if others didn't share my enthusiasm, or didn't think it was the best thing they've ever heard. It just didn't ...

Unlike the various one hit wonders of our times though , the Muses' music always had the ability to stay for a long long time in the minds and hearts of the listeners who chose to explore it . Their 1995 offering " University " is one of the most sharp rock records of that year . Kristin Hersh powerfully perfomes some of the tracks in a serial killer-like style ( " Bright Yellow Gun " , " Shimmer " ) and others almost sounding in pain ( " Hazing " , " Flood " ) . The tittle track is a haunting instrumental piece which feels like child ghosts playing hide and seek while " Teller " is probably the album's discreet highlight ... Read More: Rating: - So Smart, So GoodI'm a late-comer to Throwing Muses, but theirs is the type of music that will last a long, long time. University is the best of the lot, combining Hersh's intellect with some amazing melodies and beats. The funny thing is that when I first listened to this cd, I was rather unimpressed. It wasn't until I took another listen a couple of months later that I realized that while I had been passively acknowledging their musical skill, I had also been ignoring the power of Hersh's words. That is where the true beauty of the Muses' music is found. Once you actually "listen", their mixture of music and message is so unique (and yes, at times, weird) that it immerses you. This cd is a great experience. I may have arrived late to the scene, but I plan to stay around ... Read More: Rating:  - it's alrightSo as a Throwing Muses fan who came in a little late in the game, i must say i havent seen my opinion expressed by anyone else so i feel compelled to speak up. i was first exposed to TM with the release of their latest album (the new self-titled one) and i love it. i can't get enough of it. my next purchase was In A Doghouse (compilation of their earliest work), and i love that too-- great new wave / punk music with lots of imagination, and no cheesy mixing. that said, i can't get past the godawful dated ass production on every album in between. i started with house tornado and began working thru their collection in order and now i've gotten to this one, where they finally cut back on the early nineties bloated drums and fluffy guitars, but the whole ...
