"This is the first time I've heard of these guys and this is the first album I've heard from this "metal" band. Let me just say that I don't hate this album and there are some killer moments on here - the production is grand and bombastic and is easily the best thing about this album. As for metal..."  [+]  Reply

"As we approach the 1 year anniversary (10th May 2019) of the sad loss of Scott Hutchison I went back and re-listened to this album for the 1st time in years and it reminded me what a beautiful album this is .

"The debut album by The Waterboys is actually a solo album by Mike Scott, the only permanent member of the band which has, over its history, comprised more than 30 members. Although the album features future members of the band, Scott plays most of the instruments, and several songs are solo recor..."  [+]  Reply

"Very impressed by this! A lot going on and coming from the album. Pale Black Eye was a favorite. Prefered it when they turned the volume up. Might have to check out more from these if they are able to put out something like this. A frosty fun forbidden fun fest! Heavy on guitar and orchestra!"  Reply

"Sorry deliver the sleazy ennui soundtrack for the 20-somethings of today; an innovative patchwork of alternative goodness, mixing its sounds and words like a hazy drug-filled evening. Without ever fully giving the game away, Sorry maintain a prosaic mystery in their style, allowing the bands memb..."  [+]  Reply
