5.0 out of 5 stars Still great 15 years later, April 8, 2005

i remember buying Apple in 1990 only a few weeks after the fatal heroin overdose of song writing genius Andrew Wood, it really is a shame, this band had it all, a charismatic lead singer, tight musicianship and what i believe to be the most inventive band name ever. There is no doubt in my mind, Mother Love Bone would have been just as, if not bigger then Pearl Jam(most likely because their albums would have been more accessible to the general public over later Pearl Jam releases). With touching ballads(Stargazer, Crown Of Thorns, Man Of Golden Words, Bone China) and flatout hard rockin' tunes(This Is Shangri-La, Captain Hi-Top, Heartshine, Come Bite The Apple), this band had the potential to be the next Queen or Led Zeppelin. Do yourself a favour, BUY THIS ALBUM, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Apple (Audio CD)

OK first of all i'd like to make something clear to those who seem to think you can't like Mother Love Bone AND Pearl Jam - Both bands are absolutely stunning. Andy and Eddie were two completely different people and it doesn't detract from either band.

Now, I will say something that sums up Apple and Mother Love Bone as a whole - Special. There is no other way to describe it. Sometimes a band comes along and is just so incredibly different, beautiful. stunning and tons more superlatives that don't even begin to fully describe the talent here. There is something almost mystical about MLB. Firstly Andy Wood was destined to be a star. There are just some people that were put on earth to entertain and he was one of them. However, he was not here for simple shallow entertainment. One listen to Man of Golden Words or Bone China will tell you that.

And none of this so far has mentioned Crown of Thorns. If you can get hold of the Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns version you will be witnessing one of the most amazing songs ever written. Im sory if I sound naive and gushing here but there are no words to describe what this song does to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars An album for the ages, May 19, 2005

I picked this CD up about late 1992, when Pearl Jam was quickly on the rise and i continue to listen to it, to this day. Andy Wood was a total genius and could have been the Jim Morrison of this generation had he not died before his band had the chance to become huge, which they certainly would have. a truly underlooked classic and a MUST for fans of the Seattle Scene.
