4.0 out of 5 stars Mojave 3 will rock ya!, February 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Out of Tune (Audio CD)

Only joking about the title! Mojave 3's second album marks an interesting progression for the band. Where Ask me Tomorrow was two parts Mazzy Star to one part Leonard Cohen, Out of Tune sees them going down an altogether different route. The mournful, twilight feel that infused the first album has been replaced by altogether sunnier vibes on the second, and in Some Kinda Angel and You Keep It All Hid, Mojave actually sound pretty upbeat. The Dylan influence is quite tangible, but elements of Nick Drake (All Your Tears) and Simon and Garfunkel (Some Kinda Angel) can also be sensed.

Favourite tracks are Who Do You Love, Give What You Take, the gorgeous All Your Tears and Baby's Coming Home. However, the album is worth decidedly more than the sum of its parts and there are no weak songs.

If you're in the mood for listening to 40 minutes of warm, wistful, quietly moving music, whether on a sunny day or on a dark winter night, Out of Tune comes highly recommended

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite as stellar as"Ask Me Tomorrow" but still excellent, June 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Out of Tune (Audio CD)

This is a bit different than their previous release, but I would still consider the sounds they produce as good ear candy. I hear some strains of mid to late period Felt in a number of songs (the swirling organ), as well a bit of Nick Drake even (particularly in the last song).

Another stellar release from an underappreciated band. I hope this isn't their last domestic release here!

4.0 out of 5 stars Brit pop goes the weasel..., June 23, 2003

I don't know exactly where I stand on the whole 'shoegazer' scene (what's left of it, anyway), but there's one thing I can't deny; the influencees have definitely surpassed the influences (VU, Nick Drake, The Cure, Cocteau Twins, JAMC), and the world is much better for it.

"Out of tune" contains a number of tunes that should be country classics (but likely never will be; more's the pity). "Yer Feet", "Who Do You Love", and my favourite--the gospel-tinged "Caught Beneath Your Heel"--are as good as anything the band released as Slowdive, and in some ways, even better.

Now this album's the goods--they've picked up a bit of confidence, and we've got a sophomore album that improves on the debut "Ask Me Tomorrow" and then some. Recorded around the same time as this album are a few live radio sessions, and they do a great cover of Dylan's "Queen Jane Approximately".
