5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and beautiful, February 23, 2001
By nicole (Boston) - See all my reviews
The same friend that turned me onto Pinetop Seven and Cat Power recommended this album- another glorious find! The voice here is a dead-ringer for Neil Diamond (not meant as any sort of slight)- it's full and beautiful and does a wonderful job of conveying the sadness and desperation in the words. The arrangements are pretty spare with a little bit of keyboard and high atmospheric guitar-drone adding to the constant of acoustic guitar and voice. The songs are fairly similar to one another but this seems to make it all the easier to lose yourself in the music. If you like either of the other bands I mentioned then you'll definitely enjoy this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Haunting and Beautiful, April 29, 2002
By Jarrett Samson (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews
In Crooked Fingers, Eric Bachman has created two masterpieces of albums that any self-respecting melancholy music fan should own. Best described as melodic drunken bar music, Bring On The Snakes is a story cd above any others, crafting and weaving the best song tales since Bob Dylan. If you love AoL, great. If you hate them-well, too bad, but that's no reason not to get this completely different, vastly superior effort. A perfect album.

5.0 out of 5 stars {{{sigh}}}, October 25, 2001
By phoenixwomyn (wi, united states) - See all my reviews
Do you remember the line from the movie 'American Beauty', the one about sometimes things being so beautiful you don't think that your heart can stand it? It describes this album.

The music washes over you, filing you, yet leaving you hollowed out and open and wanting more even as the music is playing. The guitar and vocals and percussion blend beautifully, and are like an out-of-body experience.

I lost my breath the first time i heard this album, and sometimes i get so carried away by it i need to remind myself to breathe. Take my word for it, stop reading the reviews, and just buy it. You'll be glad you did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Less coherent album, but consistently great songs...

This second record seems unfairly judged as the weak sibling of the lineup, but there's not a single loser here, songwise. Maybe it's a little less sure-footed as a unit? Read more
