4.0 out of 5 stars Leatherface takes the gold, September 24, 1999

By A Customer

I had been told about Leatherface only a couple of years ago by a friend of mine, and have since become a huge fan. I was ecstatic when this split came out. Leatherface's music is all its own, with some fairly intricate guitar work for a "punk" band. Frankie Stubbs sings with heart, and his gruff pipes (you'll get used to them) are the perfect instrument with which to portray all of the emotion. The second half of this CD, by Hot Water Music, is okay. I usually stop this CD after the 6 Leatherface tracks.

this is a great record - for at least the first couple tracks. although im somewhat a fan of hot water music, they didnt quite do it for me on this album. not in the least. if youre feeling up for a challenge, try checking out some of frankie stubbs solo stuff. there arent even words to explain the greatness.

ok. i had seen hot water music before and loved them... so, i got this cd, cos i really liked leatherface too, and their stuff was so hard to find (i didn't think they were even together anymore)...and i was excited that they were doing a split with HWM. this album made me "hot-water-music-uber-fan". one of my all time favorite hwm songs "the bitter end" is up here, and really, it's the best hwm song on this release.
now to leatherface. holy [...]...leatherface is SOO very very GOOD. some people may find frankie's vocals a bit difficult to take, but listen to it enough, you will get used to it! leatherface is like a grown up version of hot water music who play beautiful music so effortlessly, you can't believe how much heart and emotion are in these songs! they are fantastic.
the leatherface half of this album is a bit better than the hwm part... "andy", "wax lyrical" are some of my favorite leatherface songs. but while the hwm songs up here might not be the best they have done, it's still a damn fine record all around. buy it. there is no way fans of either band would be let down.
