4.0 out of 5 stars A good start, May 20, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Pleasure Ep (Audio CD)

The Pleasure EP by Semisonic is a fascinating look at one of the current music scene's best bands in its formative stages. Only seven of the fourteen tracks are actual songs, the other seven being bits and pieces of conversation and noise, but the music that is there is quite good. The first two songs, "The Prize" and "Brand New Baby", sound a little weak compared to their professionally produced versions on Semisonic's debut album "Great Divide", but the others are extremely well done and sound surprisingly clean for demos. Standouts are the energetic "Sculpture Garden" and the Munson-sung "Star".

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Beggining, June 28, 2000

This CD charts the great beggining to the band that went on to become SEMISONIC. The CD has a top selection of tracks that will please both the fans who like the mellow soul full sound of semisonic and the others that prefer the rockery side to the band. This CD is on a different level to their work after this was released. However if you like "Feeling Strangly Fine" and "The Great Divide" then you are sure to enjoy this !

5.0 out of 5 stars So gooood..., September 6, 2005

This review is from: Pleasure Ep (Audio CD)

I always liked Pleasure better than Feeling Strangely Fine or All About Chemistry. It manages to capture a little of the indie feeling without losing developed sound production, and fans of melodic indie will really like this. Above all, the songwriting is just great. The first six tracks are all terrific, but my favorites would have to be Wishing Well, Star, and above all Sculpture Garden. The guitar work is fantastic, and the chords are creative and thoughtful without being painful. Buy this, and while you're at it go buy Great Divide too.
