Credible Start for The Pierces.......2005-02-26

The vocals on this CD are amazing. Obviously, The Pierces are credited with utilizing incredible harmonies. However, each of their voices stand alone as great talents.

The lyrics on this CD are not as wonderful as the voices singing them. It is obvious that the group just sort of wrote and ran with what they had. As a result, the songs seem fit for a junior high school student to sing. Most of the songs sound very similar as well and can get boring near the end.

It is a shame that "Save Me" was not included on this CD. However, thankfully five years later the sisters added it to their second CD.

The best songs on this album are "Blood" and "I'll Be Dreaming." They are very simple, beautiful and not overwhelmingly trite.

It seems that the sisters, if they have the tenacity it takes in the industry, are on their way to certain success. They could even reach the respectability of Sarah McLachlan or a mellow, happy Fiona Apple.

This is apparently the Pierces one CD, recorded in 2000. It opens with the best and most striking cut -- The Way. I heard it on a CMJ sampler and gambled on the rest of the CD. It doesn't match up. Yes, as all reviews here agree, the harmonies are wonderful throughout, but after a while on this 13 song CD all those wonderful harmonies start sounding pretty much identical. And that's a problem. Where you can detect individuality, it is all in Allison's songs -- The Way, Take You Home, and the mysterious and slightly creepy Jeffrey. Catherine's best is Waiting. Can't tell if it's a production problem or a music writing/arrangement problem, but the Pierces needed to do a better job of distinguishing these songs from one another. If they are still recording, and one hopes that's the case for they write well, if erratically, and they have great voices, I hope they are working on that.

I heard this group on an online radio. I had to have the album. I ordered it and I love EVERY SONG on this Album. These girls are BRILIANT in their writing, singing, and playing. My favorite song is "I Feel Nothing", but all of the songs are great!

What I like about this album is that, unlike many of the young females recording today, these sisters are not afraid to explore their diverse musical interests. From one song to the next, you can hear the subtle differences in their taste, while staying true to their own style. What also sets them apart and above is that the Pierces have a working understanding of where music has been. A sense of history is woven into their modern melodies. The album has a beautiful, relaxed sound while not making the mistake of being too timid or Top 40 shallow. Both sisters are equally talented song-writers with their own experiences to share and a pair to watch for in the future. I'm happy to place them into my collection amidst Tori, Ani, and Natalie Merchant.
