A Thirsty Fish

Search: Thirsty
by: The Hafler Trio

Release Date August 11, 1998
[This is a review of the 90s single disc version on Soleilmoon. In 2006 the album was reissued as a two disc package, with all vinyl material restored. Make sure you know which one you're getting!]

Originally a double LP (side three was deleted for CD), this is a grab bag of tapes and techniques. Generous excess or total self-indulgence? Either way it's an exhausting listen. I kept wanting to rescue the strongest material and splice it together into something shorter and more engaging. There are quite a few dull passages, and with three long tracks (average length 23 minutes) it's hard to find your way around.

Still ... this album is a masterpiece of obsessive craft. Certain bits have an eerie intensity and emotional ... Read More:

Strong Tower (Deluxe Edition)

Search: Thirsty
by: Kutless

Release Date April 03, 2007
Alright, I loved the regular edition, but didn't own it. So this comes out, and I pay seven bucks for three more songs that what I would have gotten. I wish I would have gotten the regular edition. Because this is a pathetic excuse for a special edition, in fact, it's just plain lazy.

You get three "New" songs, I had high hopes for "We Exalt Thee". Kutless just got lazy on it. It could have been so much more, it could have been a great worship moment. What do you get instead? Awkwardness. I thought "My Savior, My God" was a cover of Aaron Shust's hit. It isn't, I don't know where it came from, but it's very poorly done. The singing is bad, and the retention of the song is a little under two seconds, but not much less. The last song? The live version ... Read More:
