5.0 out of 5 stars And I do like Sondre Lerche and Nick Drake and Badly Drawn Boy, February 5, 2008

Good easy listening. I have to say this album is a favorite of mine. Good to write papers to. I have to agree with the other review that it is a taste issue. If your music interests are a bit more well seasoned/cultured, you'll enjoy this album more than someone whose looking for something with more bite and a highly digitized sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'll Say It Now--This Group Could Make It Big!, February 14, 2009

Reviewer (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: High Society (Audio CD)

I remember hearing The Bees (now The Silver Seas) album High Society a couple years ago and was amazed at the catchiness of each song. This album could have been made in the 70s era of soft rock and probably done exceptionally well. However, this album is so different than the Top 20 music today that it would be hard for this group to get airtime. That's a shame, as we need more Silver Seas music and less of singers who are not much of singers nor musicians.

Good news for the group is that their song "Imaginary Girl" is now played on a popular washing machine advertisement. Maybe this will help the Silver Seas in their career and hopefully get them to make another record!

Also, I have high praise for the producing of the album. You can easily hear the harmonies in the singers, such as on the title track. The harmonies in songs like High Society and Hard Luck Tom really make the album work well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pet Sounds for the 21st Century, February 1, 2009

Still Rockin' After All These Years (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: High Society (Audio CD)

This recording is a masterpiece from start to finish. Although the influences are many, there is a lot of Brian Wilson and the muse which gave birth to Pet Sounds back in the 60s. It has simplicity and complexity and something special in every song. Great harmonies, heartfelt lyrics (and some tunes with no lyrics) and songs that stick in your head and won't go away - and that's a good thing. It just makes me smile with tunes like "Hard Luck Tom" with lyrics about this poor guy whose life is falling apart put to a melody that captures the most perfect warm day in spring - put them together and it just works.

Go find a copy at the band's web site if there is not one avaiable here at a good price. Highly recommended!
