Customer Reviews:
A time when Usherhouse was worth hearing.......2005-02-06
Usherhouse comes through on this release. To me this was a time when they actually made decent music, as opposed to later material which seemed to lack the amount of heart put into this recording.
All of the songs on this release are worth a listen. Upbeat and pretty dark.
3 stars for their effort though I cant give more than that since its still not my "cup of tea" really..
"The Line" and "Avalanche" are two of the standouts.
Ecclectic mix of Goth/Bauhaus/Bowie with a Percussive Twist.......2001-10-30
Revisted this CD after it'd been sitting on the shelf for a few years...simply awesome! The overall effect still comes off with energy, depth, and above all, power. Just like it did way back then. The mark of a good recording? Timelessness...
Though the band sounds like they had more than a few "competing" egos at the time (compare Brian's silky smooth alto on 'Mind Enemy Mind' versus do-it-all guitarist Ivan's ragged performance on 'The Line'), they still had it going on.
Of special note is the syncopation between Robert on drums and Bob on bass...very, very essential to the mix, and quite in the forefront with Steve Albini's "dry" production approach. Sort of like PJ Harvey's 'Rid of Me' or Nirvana's 'In Utero', for that matter.
