4.0 out of 5 stars Don't believe the critics, March 9, 2001

This review is from: San Francisco (Audio CD)

there are countless critics out there claiming that "San Francisco" is American Music club at their most commercial, hence this is allegedly their worst record but frankly I absolutely disagree. Just because the production is a bit more "slick", it doesn't mean that the band's skills have become less important (or less notable). Ok, there's a definite alternative-feel throughout the record while their previous efforts were more "indie" and maybe AMC were consciously changing direction but they're a great band and on San Francisco, just like on any of their records, it shows! Mark Eitzel is great as usual and there are great songs all over the album...

5.0 out of 5 stars Memory, November 28, 1999

By 

Patrick F Clifford - See all my reviews

This review is from: San Francisco (Audio CD)

This album says so much about leaving somewhere, that I feel incapable of saying anything about it. Mark Eitzel comes back to Columbus enough that I can feel him leaving every time he does. "I Broke My Promise" is a beautiful song about getting out. The rest of the record doesn't betray the aetheic laid out by their previous ones: loss, regret, loss, and regret (and then some, uh, loss). Much of this is from Mark Eitzel's sad lyrics, but, still, much has to be said for Bruce Kaphon's pedal steel, and Vudi's fuzzy guitar. For a long time AMC fan, this is probably their mosty accomplished work, emotionally and musically.

5.0 out of 5 stars Always leave them wanting more., August 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: San Francisco (Audio CD)

San Francisco rarely leaves my cd player. It is a particularly fine album, which more people should have bought when it came out. The American Music Club are dear-departed, but the music is more alive than almost anything these days.
