4.0 out of 5 stars a very pleasant surprise, August 22, 2002

By	J. mikitson "www.superstarcastic.com" (chicago, illinois) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

i recently moved across the country and, while packing, joyfully rediscovered my madder rose albums. "bring it down" was a staple of my freshman year in college and it thankfully sounds just as good 9 years later. the songs don't sound dated at all and this album quickly came back to be one of my favourites, especially for driving around in my car. isn't it great when you find out that you still love a band years later? the song "sugarsweet" is hypnotic, kind of understated and edgy at the same time. i also love "waiting for engines." i would recommend this band to anyone who is into the so-called "indie music" scene and is looking for still another amazing yet overlooked band that deserves a lot more attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and strong, November 7, 2000

By	Simon Piper (NYC, NY) - See all my reviews

As with Bettie Serveert's Carol van Djiyk, i've always admired the sheer grace that you can hear in Mary Lorson's voice. Even when she is singing the most heart-aching of the tracks, you can still hear the undertone of defiance and strength. Add to that the musicianship of Billy and the boys behind her, and the excellent, varied arrangements, and you have an album that can keep you warm on a dark,lonely night, or just as happily be blaring from the car stereo on a long summer drive.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Underrated Album, But A Excellent Get., May 20, 2009

By	Brent Hilton (Layton, Utah USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well I Can't understand why most haven't heard of this great alt pop band. They deserve more praise than they got. This album is one well-rounded recording that was released in mid early 90's and wasn't given much thought at the time or present. I was one of those people until I re-listened to the album and was shocked on how it's held up for these many years, It's still that fresh and not dated. I mean I bought this album as an afterthought, listen to it. But thought it was ok to listen to at the time and didn't pick up for awhile until recently, then i realized that was awesome record. I think anyone interested in alt music should listen to this. If you like stuff like the cranberries and other music like that, than you'll dig this record. Every cut or track on this album is great. Madder Rose is great band, that combines alt know how with wonderful pop hooks that stick to brain after listening to it. I'd recommend pick up a copy today.

Highly Recommended.
