4.0 out of 5 stars Debbie Harry Meets The Cure, January 5, 2005

You know how every time a band has a female lead singer Debbie Harry's name pops up? Well, this time it's a fair call, as you'll swear that you're hearing Blondie's lead vocalist, right down to phrasing, tone and timber. This is a good thing in this case, as The Organ recall the glory days of Souxsie and The Banshees, The Cure, Joy Division and Echo & The Bunnymen, albeit with THAT voice. A terrific album that's really fun to listen to if the early-to mid eighties era of chorus-laden guitar floats your particular boat. It certainly does mine.

4.0 out of 5 stars The golden age of alternative music, December 5, 2004

The Organ are an all-female band from Canada. They basically sound like a band that was getting airplay on college radio in the late 80's/early 90's when alternative music was golden. More than anyone they remind me of a female version of Joy Division. Their music is moody, melancholy and aching & dripping of emotion and even has a sense of humor, hence the title - The Organ "Grab That Gun".

Standout cuts are the 1st three on the record - "Brother" (which is irresistible), "Steven Smith" & Love, Love, Love".

If you were raised on 80's/90's alternative music this is a can't miss. It really is a solid release from front to back and definitely worth discovering.

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect, November 4, 2004

Just a wonderful, wonderful album. I was very lucky to have The Organ recommended to me at a music thread in an internet forum I post at. I just fell in love with the album after one listen. And throughout the next few weeks I just kept listening to it. Then I forced myself to stop lest I made myself sick of the album.
Saw them live in nyc, great show.
The songs are great. Very college rock. Reminiscent of The Smiths and The Cure, bands I just adore. Very gloomy, very melancholy. The album is very "college rock", hopeless yet hopeful. Of love gained and lost, of crushes, hopes and dreams.
The album just resonated with me, and hopefully it will resonate with you as well.
