Album Details

Debut Album from British Iconoclasts of Rock. The Ctc Dont So Much Kill Music as to Deconstruct and Reanimate It, Like Dr. Frankenstein Stitching Together Limbs of Every Conceivable Genre Onto a Twitching Post-rock Torso. At Times, They Sound Like a Sinister Oasis Covering Portishead and There Are Shades of Many Others Before them from Pink Floyd to the Pixies to Spiritualized to Cheap Trick to Even Led Zeppelin Or Hawkwind. They Are Patently Unfashionable, Dousing Themselves in Patchouli in a Sea of Calvin Klein.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars five stars for five songs.......2004-04-18

I haven't heard the entire album since its an import, but I have heard five of the songs from this album: Film Maker, Been Training Dogs, Lets Kill Music, Who Needs Enemies, and Panzer Attack. All of these songs are amazing and distinct from one another. From what I've heard, the rest of the album is just as great, especially Murder Song. I'll write a real review as soon as I get my hands on this CD, but if its anything like those five songs it'll blow you away.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent Debut Album.......2004-02-21

I admit I had never heard of TCTC, but by chance I saw these guys open for (and blow away) Jane's Addiction in London last Fall. I bought their new album "Kick Up the Fire" album on the spot, and it turned out to be my favorite album of 2003 (it's finally now also released in the US). So how about TCTC's debut album from 2002? Not bad, not bad at all.

"See This Through and Leave" (11 tracks, 55 min.) is jam-packed. It starts off with the electronic-flavored space-rocking "Did You Miss Me"? (think Hawkwind updated for the 21st century), but from there goes straight into "Film-Maker", one of the 5 singles from the album, a hard rocker, followed by the even harder charging "Panzer Attack" and "Who Needs Enemies" (both also a single). "Let's Kill Music" is the TCTC 2001 single that put the band on the UK music map. "555-4823" is great electronic noodling, along the same lines of Radiohead's "Kid A". "Been Training Dogs" is another single.

This limited edition comes with a second CD, containing 5 songs (23 min.), including several excellent B-sides (stand-out is "Devil Walks in the Sand") and live versions of "Panzer Attack" and "Let's Kill Music". In addition it also has the videos for the "Let's Kill Music", "Film-Maker" and "Been Training Dogs" singles, just great.

So I rate this album "only" 4 stars simply because, while great, it is not as good as the "Kick Up the Fire" album. Did I meantion that was my favorite album of 2003? If you like indy, adventurous, quality music, by all means check out TCTC!
