Its simple guitar-driven approach matched with Harriet Wheeler's distinctively sweet voice were a great rebuttal to the overproduced garbage of late 80's glam metal, rap and pop (the same could be said of music now, perhaps more so). The album achieved some measure of buzz at the time, mostly due to the amazing singles "Here's Where the Story Ends" and "You're Not the Only One I Know". Both are true gems with catchy guitar hooks, smart lyrics and of course Harriet. The former however sounds conspicuously like The Smiths "The Boy with the Thorn in His Side". In fact, The Sundays sound a whole lot like The Smiths in general. The guitars are clearly Marr-inspired. The bass and drums are well played and willingly take a back seat to the guitar and dominating vocals much like Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce did. Harriet could well be Brit Pop's female answer to Morrissey with her literate lyrics and smooth & unique though somewhat overbearing voice. I love the way both vocalists sound but there are people who find both incredibly annoying over time since they are so unique and often overwhelm the music to such a complete extent. Still I want to give this album its due. It is excellent and there are few if any weak tracks. Aside from those mentioned above, "I Won", "I Kicked a Boy" and "Joy" are standouts. You may only know the band from their cover of The Stones "Wild Horses" that was used in a commercial."  [+]  Reply

It's a stark, thorny album that never gives you the pat on the shoulder we all seem to eventually be asking for, but it says so much in so many different ways about a topic as weighty as the human condition and without any of the superficially flamboyant gothic flourishes or easy sense of closure that's often prevelant in similar, lesser albums of this ilk. Really it's Will Oldham's songwriting that makes this unforgettable, his plain reading of the oft-bleak lyrics making it all the more poignant. And terrifying. I See a Darkness is just something truly special, even if we need a giant pick-me-up after it's over."  [+]  Reply

The band had already shown, with their previous album "Emotions", that they wanted to explore new grounds, and that they felt that the r&b concept was too limited for them. "Emotions" showed that the band possesed excellent songwriters in Wally Allen, Phil May and Dick Taylor. Unfortunately the production of that album was not too successful; at least at the time it was considered as some kind of a "disaster". This is not the case with the follow-up album "S.F. Sorrow". The sound is great and Norman Smith's production captured the new psychedelic sounds and trends of the late 1960's perfectly. "S.F. Sorrow" is a concept album, which tells the sad story of the life of S.F. Sorrow. The idea of doing rock concept album was very new at this time. And Pretty Things were among the very first to come up with a rock album; but in my opinion this is not what makes "S.F. Sorrow" a classic album. The album's strength is clearly the music; though the story is quite interesting too. The catchy "S.F. Sorrow", driven by great acoustic guitars, gives the album the perfect start. The song almost has hit-record potentials. The musically more complex "Bracelets" follows. It's a song in the same vein as their great "progressive" 1967 single "Defecting Grey". The song did not make it to the charts, but I remember that it got some airplay here in Denmark in 1967-68. The song is featured here as a bonus-track. "She Says Good Morning" indicates that the Pretty Things were also inspired by the Beatles' "Revolver" album. "Private Sorrow" is another great track - the flute and the acoustic guitars almost sounding like Jethro Tull The dramatic "Ballon Burning" tells the dramatic story of the "Hindenburg" crash in which Sorrow's girlfriend dies. "The mysterious "Baron Saturday" enters the story in the song of the same title. Great Beatle-like vocals. Musically some of the last tracks are obviously songs that serve to tie the story together and not meant to stand alone. 2 tracks stand out, though. "Trust" and the sad but very beautiful finale "The loneliest Person" featuring only an acoustic guitar and Phil May's vocals. The 4 bonus tracks are 2 Columbia singles released in 1967-68. All good songs and musically fitting perfectly into the rest of the album. This album is a milestone in the Pretty Things' career! "  [+]  Reply
