5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest albums EVer !, December 27, 2004

This review is from: There's the Rub (Audio CD)

If you want to hear an album that was recorded in a time when expert production, expert engineering, expert musicianship and superb songcrafting existed, this one will surely serve as a prime example.

It's so hilarious to hear pompous music critics continually squawk the mantra that "the mid-seventies were bloated and stale and therefore punk was ushered in" or words to that effect. Meanwhile albums such as this continually serve to prove those idiots wrong. I admit bands like Yes got a little over the top during this era, but "There's The Rub" is a must-have for anyone who appreciates masterpieces that will stand the test of time, regardless of what the critics think is cool this week. Every note on this album means something. Not one note is stale or cliche'. The tones are heavenly, yet still rocks in all the right ways. The opening song "Silver Shoes" sounds like no other song ever written, and is delivered with incredible confidence and flair, which sets the tone for the rest of the album that sounds like nothing that's ever been produced before, nor since.

I would love to hear from any of you who buy this CD on my word and agree that it's a masterpiece upon hearing.

5.0 out of 5 stars This album represents a radical change of Ash style, February 25, 1999

Following "Wishbone Four", "There's the Rub" appeared with a change in the band's lineup. Ted Turner left the band to go to Peru, and Laurie Wisefield joined. The sound also change and sweet distorted guitars became the distinctive mark in this CD. Songs as beatiful as "Persiphone" and as intricate as "F.U.B.B" transport you through the space of twin guitars and spectacular bass lines. Don't miss it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Laurie Wisefield's debut., August 8, 2001

'There's the rub' introduces fans to the amazing talent of new guitarist Laurie Wisefield. The man can cook as this disc shows. Every track is great. There is some very serious guitarwork here-amazing solos- Silver Shoes, Persephone, Lady Jay and of course F-U-B-B.'Lady Jay' will go down in history as one of the best ballads ever recorded, check out the solo at the end of the track, brilliant as it segues into the closing track. The band got the formula right with this one. This cd begs for a proper remastering. A must-have for fans.
