One of the Best of 2007,

This review is from: Kiss the Crystal Flake (Audio CD)
After a six-year hiatus, the Mother Hips are back with their finest disc to date. Taken as a whole the Hips catalog (some sadly out of print) has been a continuos progression to this point; a perfect distillation of everything that makes them a great studio band. Amazingly enough, they/re even better live. Start here and then work your way back through Green Hills of Earth, Later Days, Shootout, Part-Time and Back to the Grotto. You'll wonder where they've been all your life.

Great long awaited return,
By SactoPete "SactoPete" (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kiss the Crystal Flake (Audio CD)
The Hips are the best unknown band in the world with a small, loyal following. Kiss the Crystal Flake may be the second best hips album, behind Great Green Fields. This album shows that the Hips songwriting has matured while they have returned at the same time to their rock roots. There are fewer time changes in the songs on the album but the songs are still mostly solid. "White Headphones" is a great example of their bluesy/rock style and is a song that I could listen to over and over again and never get sick of. The album has a number of other great songs that will get stuck in your head like "Confirmation of Love," "Time Sick Son of a Grizzly Bear" and "Mission in Vain." There are a few misses but the album is mostly very solid. And the songs are even better live. While all Mother Hips should have this album I would recommend this album to anyone who enjoys rock with a blues edge.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Kiss the Crystal Flake [Vinyl] (Vinyl)
Its a great album. Anyone who likes indie/folksie stuff that sounds classic rock influenced at times....pick it up. The quality of the LP is awesome as well.
