5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless, February 23, 2000
By A Customer
The songs are beautifully written. The production is excellent and the performance is superb. I have a feeling this is an album that I will be listening to years from now. It's not disposable music that goes away after a year or two. This is timeless music. What more could one want? The opening track "Forget the Radio" decribes the feeling I personally have of being alienated by the mass marketing of music. There is a world of music out there that is undiscovered. I must add that one must read the lyrics (which are hard to see due to lack of size, but worth the strain). Another jem here is "Sanctuary". The melody will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up it is so beautiful. Above all I think it's Marty's honesty and integrity (and ability) in the way he delivers the songs that make this an amazing album.

4.0 out of 5 stars ..., January 30, 2002
By A Customer
How can you go wrong with anything these guys do? This album is better than anything on the radio these days. The best song you'll never hear on the radio? "Swans." It rocks and has a great melody. Forget Matchbox 20- if you want to hear music that will keep you humming all day long, get something/anything by the Church.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moody, dark, bright and breezy...., March 20, 2000
By Derek Timbrell (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the first solo CD of Marty's that I've had the chance to hear, so I've nothing else in his back catalogue to compare it with - so far I've only heard him through his work with All About Eve and The Church.

I decided to buy Hanging Out In Heaven partly because I liked the 2 earlier MWP songs that the recently re-united All About Eve have been playing unplugged, and partly because his playing at these shows has just made me want to hear more. I'm not sure exactly what I was

expecting, but on first listen I was surprised that the album generally is a lot more laid back and mellower than I imagined it would be. Maybe I'd just been expecting something louder.

There was one track - Wondering - that stood out for me first time through, so much so that I went back to it straight away at the end of the first listen. I don't usually do that. Three weeks later, after listening to the album a LOT, this is still the track I like most. Apparently the lyric and melody were written in less than 10 minutes (source : MWP!). For me it's a great song that works well.

The rest of the album has grown on me gradually as I've listened to it. It's a mixture of moody, dark, bright and breezy, which may sound odd, but it does all work together. There aren't any tracks that need to be programmed out on the CD player, and overall I think it's going to stand up well to repeated plays in the future. Good songs always do.
