Editorial Reviews

Sisterworld, the follow up to Liars (2007), was written and recorded in Los Angeles by Liars and Tom Biller (Kanye West, Beck, Where The Wild Things Are / Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind soundtracks) This is the first Liars album to be recorded entirely in the USA since 2004s They Were Wrong, So We Drowned and sees Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross taking inspiration from fringe characters lured to LA and the resulting subcultures and alternate spaces that they generate.Sisterworld is Liars own space, completely devoid of influence, somewhere remote from the false promises and discarded dreams amassed in LA. In it Liars explore the underground support systems created to deal with loss of self to society. Say Liars, We're interested in the alternate spaces people create in order to maintain identity in a city like LA. Environments where outcasts and loners celebrate a skewered relationship to society.

4.0 out of 5 stars "SISTERWORLD" [Vinyl; Limited Edition], April 26, 2010

The product description for the vinyl Deluxe Edition of SISTERWORLD is largely lacking, so I thought I'd expound on what one might expect. You get both the 180-gram vinyl AND CD versions of the original album, PLUS the 180-gram and CD versions of SISTERWORLD REINTERPRETATIONS. And two booklets. Again that's two records and two compact discs, not just the one that's described here.

It's a nice overall package, to be sure; the gold-plated speakeasy on the front sleeve even swings open. Seems to be well worth the money. So get it before it's sold out, no doubt destined to be snapped up by the vinyl fetishists. I'm looking at YOU, vinyl fetishist!

I have listened to many good albums this year and this one sticks out as the best by a landslide. It is different than anything else you will listen to. So if you like all your music the same, you shouldn't check this out. It is dark, but than again so was OK Computer when it came out. The song climbing up the walls is still one of the most erie songs I've ever heard, and this albums reminds me of that. It makes you think and realize that you are listening to an amazingly moving and powerful band! I saw them open for Radiohead a few years ago, and although they have a very different sound, I would easily call them the "American Radiohead" because they are so unique and different. Like Radiohead, none of their albums are identical, but vastly different. Which is a breath of fresh air. To finally see a band pushing the limits creatively and not going for radio play or to be top 40, which lets face it, generally is horrible music anyway. This is an album I can't stop listening to and won't for a very long time. It is dark, yes, but not depressing at all, and what it pulls off is really a remarkable feat that may not be topped this year!

There are moments of brilliance on the album but some spots are
mediocre. The album works as a whole but doesn't compare to their "Drums not Dead" album for example.
This is a fairly accessible piece of work for the band.
