5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Legion, January 30, 2003

By 

Mike (TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Drenched (Audio CD)

Miracle Legion is a group of songwriters who over the years have been looked over. They have been critized as "REM clones". The similarities are there but they are not clones. Though in the early years you could tell they borrowed ideas from the group. But if you listen to this CD you can tell they have began to develope there own sound, and boy does it sound good. Drenched
is filled with wonderful songs with surreal lyrics about child innocents, romance, and religion. The songs continue with great folky melodies along with firm bass and drum lines. And personally I think old Mark Mulcahy beats the pants of Mike Stipe any day.
If you can get your grubby mits on this CD, then by all means...get it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Album From a Solid Band, September 20, 2005

Guy McMann "Music Nerd" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Drenched (Audio CD)

Miracle Legion's only album available on cd is a collection of songs that are bursting with energy. The opening track hits you hard and keep you tapping your feet. The album quickly loses steam after that song but luckily regains it jsut as fast with "So Good" and "Everything is Rosey." On Velvetine Mark sings with a fever rarely heard from is usualy soothing voice and its an entralling experience since his voice is one of the best in the genre. Though fans of Surprise, Surprise, Surprise may feel a little left out since these songs lack the darkness found in the previous albums, Mark's sonngwriting has only grown stronger. Perhaps the production is to blame for the lighter feel of these sonngs. Not to say it is at all bad, the glossy production gives new light to instruments that often were lost in the mix on their earlier albums. So while it feels these songs dont have the depth that their earlier work has, it is only because there is greater focus.

4.0 out of 5 stars Impressive, May 12, 2003

I would say that this particular album is exactly what I need sometimes. It's calm, but not. It's fun, but not simplistic. It's what I would call emblematic of how I saw the times I grew up in (the mid-nineties).

It does, however, have its weak points. Some songs are musically weak and uninspired, which detracts from the album as a whole. However, if you're a fan of the lo-fi and The Adventures of Pete & Pete, you'll probably like this album.
