5.0 out of 5 stars Americans Are Missing Out, June 15, 2004

By	Purple Primate (Connecticut, United States) - See all my reviews

I live in America and was introduced in 1998 to The Whitlams on a mix tape send to me by a lovely Aussie friend. Since then, The Whitlams have become my favorite group. I've bought four of their albums, and have loved each one. Torch the Moon is, in my opinion, the best. I recommend the two CD set if you can find it (try the official website.) The rarities disk has some wonderful songs, such as "The Curse Stops Here" and the Sculthorpe Variation of "Out The Back."

Torch The Moon is amazing, rarities disk or not. It would make an excellent introduction to the Whits because it has a great variety of songs, all of them the usual high Whitlams caliber.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not their best, but still great, October 3, 2003

By	Megami (Darwin, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Torch the Moon (Audio CD)

This is not the best album by the Whitlams, and there is no real standout song like the brilliant 'No Aphrodisiac'. However, it is the type of album that if you play it a few times, it gets under your skin. The song about Kate Kelly is one that you are sure to find yourself singing along to.

If you haven't encountered the Whitlams before, i suggest you get their first album before having a go at this one. You will probably appreciate it more after hearing their earlier work.

(ps: and they are amazing live - saw them in a small venue on a skiing weekend. We didn't know they would be there, but i am so glad they were!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Typical Whitlams, September 11, 2002

By	Edwin Michell (Adelaide, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Torch the Moon (Audio CD)

Tim Freedman delivers once again what weve come to expect of the Whitlams - an album full of mellow ballads and the occasional brighter tune. Some of their best work, I believe, are the more upbeat tunes like "Back into the Wild", as opposed to their classic semi-depressing songs like the Charlie series from Eternal Nightcap. "gone Surfing" and "Out The Back" are two songs perfect for a slack sunny afternoon lying on the grass. My personal favourite is the final song, "Ease of the Midnight Visit" which wraps up the main CD flawlessly.
Interestingly, perhaps the five best songs, in my opinion, were not included in the main CD, instead being relegated to the bonus CD. "Witness Protection Scheme" is a great song to chill to, whereas the final two are the more upbeat type I was talking about.
This is a great CD, but make sure you buy the one with the bonus CD to get five more gems.
