5.0 out of 5 stars Clever and beautiful, September 2, 2004

Pandora "Eerie Silence" (WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Thanks For The Ether (Audio CD)

This is Rasputina's first (and best) album. The cello music is inspired and much more noticeable than on their other albums, and the lyrics are remarkably insightful, ironic, and clever. It is also tinged with sadness, cynicism, and of course, the Victorian era and other tales from ages past, which is their trademark.

5.0 out of 5 stars MELORA CREAGER, I BOW TO THEE, June 15, 2001

If anyone can find a group with a more original, beautiful, and unforgettabke sound, it's obvious they're lying. Rasputina's grunge-goth classically-influenced faery tale rock is indescribable. The quirky lyrics and dark music is beyond genius. Melora Creager's inimitable sad vibrato and soulful cello-playing makes this album a classic. The mythic, Neo-Victorian sound behind Rasputina is something I'm just not eloquent enough to explain. Buy this album and experience the divinity that is Rasputina for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars an afternoon of sewing and dreaming, May 7, 2000

This review is from: Thanks For The Ether (Audio CD)

Every time I am listening to this album I feel as if I am a Victorian woman lost in dreams of another life, where I can do whatever I please. This CD is powerful. Very! I usually listen to it when I am in a pensive mood, or when I am doing a lot of homework for my classes, writing papers in History and so forth. Rasputina makes me proud to be a lady. Nowadays we have very downgrading music sung by women themselves. Strange. Rasputina is music for any lady who likes to be alone, sew, listen to rain and ponder life. If you like cellos, melancholy voices, slow melodies, and stories about historic figures, then hurry and buy it now!
