4.0 out of 5 stars The best of the early Charlatans albums., May 14, 2001

This review is from: Charlatans UK (Audio CD)

The Charlatans' self-titled album is my favorite of their albums before 'Tellin' Stories' before they would reach their fully mature state. "Just Lookin'" and "Here Comes A Soul Saver"(even though it rips off a lot of Pink Floyd's "Fearless") definitely are some of my favorite Charlatans songs. Other notable songs are "Just When You're Thinking Things Over" and "Thank You." This album distinguishes The Charlatans from the cliche and becoming tiresome sound known as "Madchester" or whatever you will. The Charlatans began where The Stone Roses left off, creating soulful grooves. The Charlatans' self titled album shows the band going in a good direction and showing early signs of their brilliance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Their First Masterpiece of an Album, September 28, 2006

With their 4th album, this self-titled one, the Charlatans produced their first outright gem. While the previous album, Up to Our Hips, is nearly as good, I feel this album is where everything gelled and the band really started to hit its stride. Nine Acre Court, a grooving instrumental, opens the album, and from there one it's just one classic after another: Feeling Holy, Crashin' In, Just When You're Thinking Things Over, No Fiction, See It Through, Bullet Comes, Here Comes a Soul Saver...I've literally listed almost the entire album, that's how good it is. If you're a fan of the Charlatans or just starting to get into them, this is essential. A modern classic in British Rock.

4.0 out of 5 stars Their best album imho, December 2, 2000

By

This review is from: Charlatans UK (Audio CD)

Stringing a full album together of 12 or so strong tunes with no slightly flat filler has always been a difficult task for these guys, and this is the closest they've came. Standouts are Bullet Comes (nice take on psychadelic), Just When You're Thinking Things Over and Tell Everyone. I also love No FIction with it's enat guitar solo, Just Looking with it's "and we stand with our hands in the air, and we're feeling so good cos you care" vibe, and Toothache with it's heavy industrial sound. But things like Feeling Holy, See It Through and Here Comes a Soul Saver drags things down (Here Comes A Screen Saver might be more apt, as it serves the same purpose- fills a gap between anythign of significance, but prevents burn-out). ALl the same this is good stuff. Tell Everyone.
