5.0 out of 5 stars Felt - Misunderstood Masters of of 80's Mope Rock, March 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Ignite The Seven Cannons (Audio CD)

This collection represents the finest moments from one of my favorite 80's brit bands. The depressing "talk-singing" of Lawrence melds beautifully with the effervescent guitar work of Deebank. It may take several (maybe more) listens to appreciate, but it's worth the investment. The tunes, though fairly simple, have a way of ingraining themselves into your subconscious. More depressing and less accessible than the Smiths, but easily more artistic. Take a chance on this one, before the label deletes it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Pop Grandeur, March 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Ignite The Seven Cannons (Audio CD)

This is simply one of the best pop albums ever. The melodies are beautiful, the minimalist counterpoint phenomenally deft. "Primitive Painters" is a long-lost classic....how this song avoided the mainstream is beyond me. "The Day the Rain Came Down" is a pop gem, and the instrumental "Serpent Shade" is hauntingly beautiful. If you're a fan of Belle & Sebastian, The Smiths, and other such bands, the shimmering beauty of Felt is something you'll definitely want to check out. It's addictive!
