5.0 out of 5 stars Rocking Good James, April 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: James (Audio CD)

This is their first album (as far as I know) with the expanded version of the band....7 members. This disc contains my favorite song of the band's entire repertoire, "You Can't Tell How Much Suffering (On a Face That's Always Smiling)" The lyrics written by Tim Booth are so true to life and poetic to the soul. I give this album 10 stars!!

My James collection started with Seven, a much beloved disc for many years. Just recently tried this recording and it satisfies considerably. Great tunes, challenging lyrics, I enjoy Booth's voice immensely. Start here or start with another, but listen to James.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quirky, yet soulful!, May 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: James (Audio CD)

Two of the strangest songs ever written appear on James' daisy album. "Walking The Ghost," a 7-minute encounter song between the singer and the female ghost that wanders his abode, is chilling enough to be put on your Halloween CD Mix. "Gold Mother" captures the point of view of the fetus as it becomes a baby through its mother's birth canal. The shouts and percussive cacauphony accompaning this journey are hysterical, while still mananing to be poppy! Amazing....
