4.0 out of 5 stars MLC's second big leap., July 12, 2000

This review is from: Your Vision Was Never Mine to Share (Audio CD)

This album is a perfect display of MLC's progression over the years--from their extroverted rage fueled debut, to the introverted alienation and hopelessness of "Not Like Them"--to developing their own voice. Now, in their latest album, you can hear just how they've grown; trying to leave the past behind, and move on. As such, there is a definite sense of calm self-affirmation, the likes of which could before only be heard in their heaviest, rage-filled moments of defiance.

But in this process of maturation, of self-discovery, something seems to have been lost (probably for the best). The force has grown to a great degree. Here, the music is more grand, hard-hitting, though lyrical clarity has dropped slightly, as has the energy that the first two possessed.

But it's still a great album. The first two tracks are easily some of MLC's best work. The album then seems to drop a bit tracks three through six, but it quickly picks itself back up at a near perfect seventh track.

But these are merely matters of taste--I am more attuned to angry and melancholy music--and even though their attempt was a bit hard for me to swallow at first, and may put off people used to what MLC was in 95, it's still a great album, and MLC is still one of the best out there.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been so much more., July 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Vision Was Never Mine to Share (Audio CD)

As I see it, Your Vision was Never Mine to Share suffers from two very distinct problem. First, is that the anger and energy that marked the band's first two releases has been lost. We see hints of it in songs like When Everything Dies, but only hints. There are no songs that can compare to tracks like Sonic Attack, or Infected, or Prove Me Wrong. The second is that the songs tend to blend together, and there are only a few moments in the album that really stick out. Is it worth buying? Yes, I believe so, if you liked either of the first two albums. If you have never heard Misery Loves Co. before, this is probably not the best album to start with.

4.0 out of 5 stars heavy mood, September 22, 2011

To put it simply, this is a heavy version of the Cure, circa Faith, Pornography, Disintergration. There is less of of the heavy vocal stylings from earlier albums but a lot more mood. Like the Cure albums previously mentioned, this is an album that is best enjoyed as a whole, and in saying that I think all songs are enjoyable.
