5.0 out of 5 stars "Slow-core" and Simple Musical Genious!, December 5, 1998

paul.108@osu.edu (Columbus, OH) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Could Live in Hope (Audio CD)

This record, Low's first, if from a time (1993-1994) before Low perfected their trademark formless and totally entrancing narcotic rock. The product: a perfect hybrid of intense emotion, quite beauty, and "pop" song structure. The result: a whole lot of songs that will whisper in your ear until they are encoded on your DNA. Their rock is at times simply beautiful and emotionally terrifying, and always addictive. Check out: "words", "the sea", "lazy", and the classic "(you are my) sunshine". Truly, one of the new classics!

5.0 out of 5 stars This Album WILL Save Your Soul!!!, June 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: I Could Live in Hope (Audio CD)

If you like Joy Division, early New Order or The Cure, you will appreciate Low. Calm, minimal and honest arrangements support this threesome in creating an album emotionally complex and intense. Low is a band that some would say 'live up to the name' but you will find that although somewhat 'moody' or 'dark', many hours of listening to this album helps achieve a salvation emphasizing it's title. You haven't heard the song "you are my sunshine" until you have heard it performed by Low! -- Glen C.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ironing out kinks, April 25, 2009

IRate - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Could Live in Hope (Audio CD)

As much as I love the group for a determined and gorgeously stark restraint, this debut contains, with rare, refreshing exception, crudely written veritable warm-up's that do little in honoring this couple's trademark haunting dynamic.
