5.0 out of 5 stars post-punk need i say more, May 19, 2005

This review is from: Jeopardy + 4 bonus tracks (the "Live Instinct EP") (Audio CD)

ok, so let me start by saying that the sound is by far one of the best "lost" bands in time. you wanna know what they sound like? if joy division and echo and the bunnymen had a hot night in manchester this is what their kid's band would sound like. a must have, check out there 2nd lp "from the lions mouth" a must have as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Debut From A Great Forgotten Band, October 23, 2006

This review is from: Jeopardy + 4 bonus tracks (the "Live Instinct EP") (Audio CD)

This debut album from 1980 should have been our first exposure to one of the most brilliant bands of their time. But things didn't go that way for Adrian Borland and The Sound--the album received little airplay and was forgotten. It's a tragedy. At least now we can rediscover this music with the wonderful CD re-release from Renascent. Of all The Sound albums, this has the rawest quality, sounding almost like a live band instead of one recorded in a studio (in fact, there are 4 bonus tracks that were recorded live). Standout songs include I Can't Escape Myself, Heartland, Unwritten Law, Heyday, Missiles...well, I might as well list the whole album. This CD is essential to any collection of alternative rock. But then again, so are all the CDs from The Sound!
