Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Every once in a while, a modern rock masterpiece slips through the cracks, usually because it's hard to buy the hype in the English press. But Th' Faith Healers deserve every overwrought accolade they've gotten. The American version of the band's first album, Lido (Elektra), includes 10 subtly different trance-inducing drones, each based on a solid "Sister Ray" groove and featuring Roxanne's vocals as a sweet contrast to the shambolic guitar noise. --Jim DeRogatis

5.0 out of 5 stars MASTERPIECE, January 19, 2003
By A Customer
A friend popped this album in during a drunken night in Oakland, California. No plans for going out...just relaxing outside on the "patio" with a bunch of friends. After awhile, I began to notice the initially subtle background drone that began to encompass the outdoor space. What the hell is this I asked my friend? Th' Faith Healers he said. Damn this is good!! I bought the album the next day at Amoeba for $$$(!!), along with Mogwai's 10 Rapid--another amazing discovery from the prior night. So, Lido...what can I say? I hate to use this abused, cheesey term....but this album ROCKS! Long, heavy guitar drones with superimposed looping, sultry vocals...over and over again. A true masterpiece. Shocking that it never became more popular, at least in this country. By this album, sit back, have a few drinks, or whatever else you are going to do, and pop this album in. It will blow you away.

5.0 out of 5 stars offbeat and beguiling - perfecto!, January 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Lido (Audio CD)
I am english, so naturally I have the english copy. Lido was mainly writtan by tranced up guitar guru Tom Cullinan, now in the avant garde popsters quickspace. From the opening track 'this time' to the zinging seven miniute closer 'spin 1/2.' Sounding like a cross between maria callas and Can (Funnily enough they cover Mother sky...), this album winks and nods at many artists sounds, like Serge gainsbourgs rolling basslines and sonic youths, well, sonic freakouts. Offbeat and beguiling this album is perpetuating a sound of London avant garde music without ever disapeering up its arse and keeping tight to their own ideologies without ever becoming precious, and the cover photograph of a camping site adds mystery to english holidays without ever becoming nostalgic or sentimental. Cullinan and his chums - perfecto. BUY!BUY!BUY!

4.0 out of 5 stars Grows On You, July 2, 1999
By A Customer
Spry and twisted grunge/thrash (sorry I know it doesn't really fit any categories) from some idealic, crystal meth polluted English meadow. The magicians are so chromosome ruptured they think they're affable flowerchildren even as their souls contort in a snarling clamor. Brilliant atmosphere and some powerhouse ditties that you'll catch yourself humming placidly after your eardrums heal.

Trouble is, some of the songs don't quite connect, like "It's Easy Being You" and "Don't Jones Me." They could've been great but the band seems to have doubted themselves (or got distracted) right before completion. Still, the rhythms work their way into your brainwrinkles until finally, no matter how weary you were of the vagueness and repetitions, you put the disk back on.

It's a very good cd, but I'm opposed to the almost universal practice of giving every cd you like five stars.
