3.0 out of 5 stars Bad Artwork, Bad Sound Quality, GREAT Album!, October 18, 2004

"Too Close To See Far" is a great album. Don't be fooled by the terrible cover art (the worst I've ever seen in my life; what were they thinking?) or the less-than-incredible sound quality of the recording, this is a really, REALLY good effort. I haven't heard the band's other albums, so I can't compare it to anything they've done in the past. It's a good purchase if you're into melodic "jangly" rock 'n roll.

2.0 out of 5 stars up the hill and down the slope, July 15, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Too Close to See Far (Audio CD)

it's not that this record is so bad, it just can't live with the bands past records which are gleaming. this is their worst record so far. -justify the rain- and -because you- get the album off to a good start but it's all down the slidy slope after that until -life in wartime- shows a bit of a tempo change. afterwards the last song, -smile- is fine. after -melodic sunshine- and -deliverance-, you might expect a lot more effort to continue the great work of the past. suppose all bands run out of gas sometime.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good News, Bad News, July 23, 2005

I didn't know the lead singer had left when I first heard this album and was initially disappointed. The great vocal melodies of Enjoy the Melodic Sunshine made that an outstanding and unique album and this just ain't the same. The lyrics are a lot less hippy dippy, the guitars are more electric instead of the old acoustic emphasis and the overall sound is a lot like Teenage Fanclub. In fact, I'd recommend this album very highly to anyone into Fanclub because its probably better than anything they've done since Grand Prix. You can get this album very cheaply, there's no reason not to give it a listen.
