5.0 out of 5 stars Second of the three magnificent Come records., March 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Don't Ask Don't Tell (Audio CD)

"Finish Line," "Mercury Falls," and "Yr Reign" -- it's a Hendrixian flourish to open, guitars coming down like flaming roofs. Everything on a Come record is serrated: the guitars, the rhythms, the mood. The songs are dark black, and Thalia Zedek's voice takes some time to get used to, like the new Harley next door. Slows a bit on the second side, but the chiming rush of "In/Out" and the stately "Arrive" are memorable.

Come was a terrifying and ambitious band, woefully undervalued. "Eleven:Eleven," "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," and "Near Life Experience" are the secret black heaven all guitars aspire to when they die.

This happens to be one of the best albums of the 1990s, and yet no one really seemed to care much about Come, aside from critics, and those of us who listened to the opinions of J. Mascis in the early 90s. He said Come was his favorite band, but in many ways, they were far, far better than Dinosaur ever was. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" an explosive album. Buy it now.

4.0 out of 5 stars deep and moving, March 28, 2005

This review is from: Don't Ask Don't Tell (Audio CD)

Come isn't for the uninitiated but they should be due to their instrumental prowess and the emotional catharces that Thalia Zedek expounds every time she opens her beautiful, burned soul up and sings her heart out. "German Song" sounds an open letter to a child promising there's "nothing safe for you" in this world as the pretty, minor key chord changes emotionally tell a similar story of isolation and abandonment. " string" is a (stones-ey) letter to a love gone wrong and a statement on control and dependence in relationships. "let's get lost" and "finish line" both stand out as further emotional snapshots. If you like to be rewarded by your music and search for real beauty, look no further than Come.
