Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Beautifully Dark and Melancholic.......2005-06-20

I simply can't understand the negative reviews written about this album. Granted, it is not the best work of the Lightning Seeds - especially for people wanting to get into The Seeds to listen to - but I think this album deserves much more positive recognition than it gets.

The Lightning Seeds are probably best loved for their up-beat ultra-happy tracks like "Pure" and "Life Of Riley", and I was pleasantly surprised to find how The Seeds have succeeded in making Tilt beautifully dark and melancholic. Some of the tracks in this album, namely "Cigarettes and Lies" and "Get It Right" will simply take your breath away with the gorgeous lyrics and haunting melodies. There are, of course, more up-tempo songs on here such as "Life's Too Short" and "If Only"... of course not forgetting the chirpy "City Bright Stars".

However, that said, I do particulary admire the darker songs on this album. It only goes to prove the versatility of The Seeds. And that they've succeeded yet again at creating something of a semi-masterpiece.

4 out of 5 stars Another Good LIGHNING SEEDS effort.......2001-05-23

"Happy Satellite" and "Get It Right" are the two standout tracks on TILT. Prevous CD "Dizzy Heights" was more satisfying due to its fun guitar work missing from "Tilt" which is still a good record.

2 out of 5 stars Not much like the old stuff.......2000-03-07

The happy joy stuff is gone. More moody deeper tracks, with highly developed lyrics.

5 out of 5 stars Happy Music.......2000-02-07

Just like the Cure epitomized the darker sides of life, Lightning Seeds have taken upon themselves to make the world a happier place. The joy of life is the central theme in all their songs and Tilt carries on that tradition beautifully. From instantly classic songs like "Life's too short" with one of the best production on an electronic track ever, to sublime songs such as "Get it right" and "If only" you can't help but feel better, if not good, about yourself. Although the ballads are skipable to a casual listener, they add a completeness to the album which generates a very fulfilling listening experience. On the flip side, metaphorically speaking, you will be hard pressed to find happier songs than (surprise!) "Happy satellite" and "Crowdpleaser." Dance, Top40, RandB, Adult Contemporary listeners will equally find songs to their liking in this gem of an album. Even though, I am not a die-hard Lightning Seeds fan, Tilt was (is) my favorite album of the last 12 months.
