5.0 out of 5 stars an overdosage of innovation, September 5, 2000

This review is from: Buried Life (Audio CD)

This is their best work. You will never hear another band use a guitar in this manner. Brad Laner likes to crank the treble all the way up and leave the vocals as the sole source of midrange. The noisy guitar sounds in the backround are kept together by Beth and Brad's harmonies. They have the knack for making you wonder which one is really the melody. In all this album will give you a sense of flight. They take a different approach to giving the same feel that U2 instills... not that they sound at all alike. "The Pink" and "Never Click" are my personal favorites, although the haromony parts really stand out on "When Something Goes Wrong". This is a perfect example of how noise can be pleasant when it is used correctly... it is impossible to turn this up loud enough!

This has been one of my favorite albums for nearly a decade. Everything about it is just beautiful--from the feedback-drenched guitars to Beth's airy vocals this album is a shoegaze/noisepop masterpiece. Recommended for fans of My Bloody Valentine and Slap Happy Humphrey.

This review is from: The Buried Life (Audio CD)

it's so amazingly brilliant/pretty.
even my acquaintances who don't like shoegazey stuff like
this. "something goes wrong" is one of the most
appallingly good and simple songs i have ever heard.
the stars of this band were the drummer jim goodall
(a monster!) and of course braddy the brat (brilliant,
knows it). i used to write them off as mbv rips--then i got this
...and went back to the equally enticing "shot forth self living"
"the buried life" title cribbed from a Matthew Arnold poem, by the by. the shot forth from Blake, i think?! i think goodall dreamed that up cause my friend said he reads Joyce and stuff. a drummer-reader? amazing. i loves the meds!!!
