Editorial Review: Album Description: Formed in 1983 by guitarist/vocalist Kristin Hersh & her half-sister guitarist/vocalist Tanya Donelly. They broke up in 1996, & this marks their first record since then. It not only captures the virility & energy of their first groundbreaking works, but it also captures the depth & maturity of the band. Digipak. 4AD. 2003. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Delivers the goodsThis is a solid album. I stumbled upon it a bit late last year after re-discovering Kristin Hersh's music through her last solo album Learn to Sing Like a Star and after seeing a spectacular live show supporting that album (my very first Kristin show - pathetic of me I know). That inspired me to catch up on some of the backcatalog I'd missed. I think I'd left off at Limbo before converting tapes to CDs, and things getting lost in the shuffle. But a flurry of new material from this artist hit me like a tornado, thankfully. This album has (among the many great discoveries I found catching up with this band, 50 Foot Wave, and Kristin's solo work) some very cool songs like "Mercury", "Flying", "Los Flamingos", and "Pandora's Box". Shame Tanya Donelly ... Read More: Rating: - A masterpieceI don't have much to add to all the reviews that other people have written except to say that this is one of my all-time favorite CDs, one that gets better on repeated listenings. I have probably listened to this CD more than any other over the past couple of years. Kristin Hersh is an absolutely amazing singer, song writer, and guitar player. This album really does deserve five stars; I'd give it more if I could. It's pretty usual for a band to get and better, particularly one that has been around for so long, but that is exactly the case with Throwing Muses. It's sad that this may be the last studio album from the Muses (although the band still plays live and Kristin has of course formed 50 Foot Wave with Muses bassist Bernard Georges, ... Read More: Rating: - The Hardest-Rocking, Thrashiest Throwing Muses Album!Loaded with stinging punk aggression, I wasn't too sure about this album at first. But with repeated listens, Kristen Hersh's usual brilliant songwriting shone through. So much for mellowing with age! Sadly, it looks like this may be the Muses swan song, but it's also an indication of the new, hard-edged things to come with Hersh's new band 50 Foot Wave! Catch the new wave! As a bonus, this CD package is one of the wildest I've ever seen with colorful paintings on panels that unfold to create larger images - way cool! Rating: - Wow!Kristin does it her way,,,,,,,,no debate. This is classic post-punk, straight-up, and real music. Kristin believes in the power of the artist over the power of the dollar. She makes no compromises. A great return for the Muses. Rating:  - They're back!I first heard Throwing Muses back in 1991 when I was working at a totally cool record shop (Circle CDs & Records in Cincinnati). The album The Real Ramona had come out that year and was quite popular. I really liked the album (unfortunately I never managed to buy a copy). They had a raw, energetic sound that resonated with me. In the mid-1990s, I bought their album University, which was their latest at the time. I was disappointed in that one. It was quite uneven. It didn't have the energy of The Real Ramona, the sound lost its raw edge, and I only really liked some of the songs, compared to The Real Ramona, where I liked all of the songs. Awhile back I found a new album by Throwing Muses! This came out in spring of ... Read More: |
