This review is from: The Way of the Vaselines-A Complete History (Audio CD)

this album is great i've got to say that because i was in the vaselines.it was not recorded on a four track machine as someone says elsewhere here. it was recorded in chamber studios in Edinburgh on a 16 track desk onto quality tape.
sorry to be pedantic but i still love this record.

Life changing? For me yes. Would you dig it? Hard to say .Many people compare the Vaselines to the Pixies but that's missing the point. They sound like bored Scottish teens with overflowing musical ideas and a tremendous urge to get it out as soon as possible. All the songs on this collection are sleazy, simple and beautiful. Oh and there is a Divine cover. What else do you need a shot of whiskey with that steak. Any one know what happened to Francis?

4.0 out of 5 stars Has to be heard to be believed, July 4, 1998

After the second or third listening of 'The Way of The Vaselines' it is easy to see why Kurt Cobain loved this band so much. From the instantly recognisable crisp recording of Son Of A Gun, to the slowed down masterpiece that is Dying For It (the blues), this album will be sticking in your head for weeks.

I was very cautious in buying this cd as I had never heard of the Vaselines before in my life, but I now realise it was stupid to feel this way as the justification of spending $14 for something I'd never heard comes from listening to the songs. Way of the Vaselines is a top buy and extremely recommended.
