Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Once in a while, a band comes along that doesn't just ignore the rule book, but rewrites it. Since forming in the late 90's, Kosheen have proved that success doesn't have to come on someone else's terms. Fusing the plaintive, potent vocals of singer Sian Evans with the darkly intimate electronica of Darren Decoder and Markee Substance, Kosheen create songs where the sounds tell the story as much as the lyrics while the boundaries of genres are blurred and challenged. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars !!!!!!!!!!!, June 27, 2007

By	George (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews

i cant even begin to explain kosheen's style to anyone. It's something you just have to hear for yourself. Sian's vocals are awesome. She has the kind of voice that when you hear her sing, you actually hear the words. The lyrics just grab you. This album is excellent and picks up where the excellent, Resist , left off. Their second album, kokopelli, was a bit of a let down for me. but this album takes elements from their debut, resist , and the better moments of kokopelli, and a masterpeice was created.

"damage" is , hands down, one of, if not, the best Kosheen songs ever released. It starts the album off with a bang. also worth mentioning are "chances" wich reminds me of "catch", "Guilty" and "under "fire"

It's moody, sometimes poppy, melodic, electronic music with big female vocals and deep lyrics.

5.0 out of 5 stars deep beats, soul-filled vocals, May 18, 2007

By	Justin Kruse "globe trotter" (los angeles) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

On Kosheen's third release thick beats are once again coupled with amazing vocals. I first discovered this group at Coachella in 2004. Lead singer, Sian evokes thoughts of a love child by the likes of Grace Slick and Kate Bush. This collection of tracks is pretty down tempo. The feeling swells over the computer generated chaos. If you like the later Everything but the Girl or Miss Kitten you'll dig. My personal favorite track is "like a book." Also, check out Kosheen's first release "Resist."

5.0 out of 5 stars Three is just as good..., May 7, 2007

By	EverRaven - See all my reviews

I got turned onto Kosheen years ago through an internet radio station that played "Catch" from Kosheen's first album "Resist." With the song stuck in my head, and an import CD later, I placed them in the tops of my favorite groups. With their second album, I figured they couldn't do it twice. I was happily, wrong.

Can Kosheen be as good the third time? Yep. As awe-inspiring as ever.

Kosheen is a hard group to explain. Are they Rock? Techno? Dance? Pop? All of the above wrapped in a perfect blanket of balance and singing glee? One song may be a "meme-pop," then next a smooth lyrical flow folowed by a bit of hard rocking fun. But, every song is something to groove to - something that makes you move.

Anyone that likes their previous albums, you won't be disapointed. Much like me, you'll be singing "Guilty" at the top of your lungs in no time. For those that have never heard of Kosheen? Give them a try. You might surprise yourself and find a wonderful gem.
