5.0 out of 5 stars The best album you'll ever hear, if you can find a copy!, May 18, 2003

I first heard this album in 1989 or 1990; a good friend of mine let me make a cassette copy of it. It was the best CD any of us had heard in a long time. It still continues to be one of our favorites. Sadly, my friend lent the CD to another, not so good, friend, and he lost it. Well, I have searched high and low for this CD; in a store in Atlanta, GA, I found a promo CD with a few songs on it, including a couple tracks not on the original CD. Now, thanks to Amazon and doublezero, I now have the original CD. I still can't believe someone was selling their copy of this great CD. It is not printed anymore, and I know hardly anyone has ever heard of Mary My Hope, but they could have been one of the greats. If you can find this CD, listen to it and you'll just love it. If you like rock n' roll and great music and great lyrics, you'll love this album. I recommend this CD to everyone. It kicks ...!!

4.0 out of 5 stars almost there, February 14, 2003

I saw this band live in 89-90 and they were incredible. I got the album and was very impressed by the song writing, but the production wasn't great. The singer James has a great voice and the band was very fluid. You can hear their influences, which is refreshing now (2003) because it's alot of Pink Floyd, Janes, Led Zep.
They were a band that if only they had the right producer and lightened up just a bit, could have been a huge band.
It's defenitly worth a listen. it will make you remember the times before "rap-metal" and all that, and when melody and good songwriting counted for something. It should be part of your collection, "if only they..."

5.0 out of 5 stars Sadly overlooked band..., March 2, 2011

I know! All of you other reviewers are right, Mary My Hope is an incredible band, what a shame they are so little known. I only have "Museum" on a cassette, and I probably should buy the CD while it's still available because if my cassette ever goes bad I will be devastated at the loss. I love their sound, all the songs are great--I especially am fond of "Suicide King" and "Heads and Tails"--their songwriting is interesting and I agree with one reviewer that they have a Soundgarden-ish sound, which I like--although really there is nobody they compare to that much, they are quite unique. I used to own the album of this as well, but I lost it--too bad because it had some interesting things that the cassette and probably CD doesn't. Anyway, get this if you like great music, and you know what I think I'll go ahead and buy the CD, it's quite cheap and who knows how long it will be available....
