5.0 out of 5 stars Moody Waves of Melancholy & Walls of Grandeur, June 28, 2007

this album, put out in 2001 was so great and almost completely overlooked. This band was hardly known about before they imploded 5 years ago shortly after the release of this record in 2001. They had a very dreamy sound reminiscent of all the great shoegaze bands of the 90's like My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, etc., but it also bore a strong influence from many 80's Post-Punk bands like The Chameleons, The Sound, & Sad Lovers And Giants. The thing that is special about this band is that they were among the few groups whose sound preceded the whole "80's revival" four years before it ever happened (not to mention preceding Interpol's first album by a YEAR). It is a shame they did not last because if they did they might have had a better response commercially with the way things started to change in the musical climate. Today, this album still sounds fresh and just as amazing as it did 5 years ago and that itself is an accomplishment that 90 percent of the bands making music today probably will not live up to.

Records of Reference:
The Chameleons - Script of The Bridge
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
The Sound - From The Lions Mouth

For those of you who wish for "the days of yore", when music was actually good will be very pleased with the latest offering by Lowsunday. Like many, I grew up listening to bands who had that "sound": Lush, Catherine Wheel, Ride, The Chameleons, Echo & The Bunnymen, etc. Lowsunday also must have listened to these same bands because it comes through in their music.

My only complaint (if you can call it one) is that I would've made the vocals more sparse and added more reverb. Like the first album by Bauhaus, the mix is very raw but I think that it was because the band wanted a "live" sound and that's what they got.

Simply put, the track "Shine" is worth every cent spent on the album. The other tracks are fantastic as well and I hope that another album is in the wings.
