I thought I liked this band... Now I don't know why. I seem to remember that I liked this band. My God, they are terrible! The feedback SCREAMS all the time, and judging from what little I can make of the lyrics or the voice behind them, that might be a blessing. Call me, I will send this CD to you absolutely free just to get it out of my house. I'm sure they have fans, but so does Charles Manson. My ears are still bleeding and no, I don't think that's "cool". Ugh.
21 Reasons Why This Band Rocked
However this compilation 21 SINGLES should do more than just satisfy the cravings for fans, it should remind them of what a great band they once were (as if they needed reminding). Jesus and Mary Chain remain to be one of my favorite bands, its unfortunate they broke up. In comparison to bands which are popular today like Nickleback, Sum 41, Creed, etc, its amazing how lacking in quality they are. Jesus and Mary Chain possesed a quality which is nowhere to be found on the scene today, and its a shame. Among highlights here include You Trip Me Up, April Skies, Somtimes Always, Never Understand, I hate Rock and Roll, I Love Rock and Roll, Happy When It Rains, Someday Talking, Darklands, Almost Gold, Far Gone and Out, Reverence and more. Overall here are 21 reasons why this band rocked, and 21 reasons why there isn't a band like this today.
