Classic from the 80's
(A few singles proceeded this release. The haunting, melodic vocals, coupled with the jagged, feedback-riddled guitar playing, from a bunch of guys with frizzy, gravity defying hair gave the Jesus and the Mary Chain their own uniue style, and what a great album this was, and still is, when it came out in the 80's, which was essentially their debut release. ) It's an album very rooted in the 80's, yet still sounds today as fresh as the day it came out.

I encountered none of the problems with the dual disc format that other reveiwers reported. However, the band looks bored and listless half the time in the videos, and not for good effect. Buy this for the music.

Dual disk problems!
Not so happy with this. This disk would not work in two differentdrives in my computers and in my regular cd player (a Samsung) it would take over a minute to load and then would not play track one (but played the others ok).
As for the music, it is a clasic. .


Music = excellent, dual-disc = teh suck


Sadly, I haven't been able to LISTEN to it because I can't rip the CD on my PC to load into my iPod. I'd love to rate this on the music alone. I've tried a DVD-RW drive and CD-ROM drive on two different PCs that rip discs with no problems. . . except these. The dual-discs feel as if someone literally took a CD and a DVD and SuperGlued them together. Shoddy.

I really regret not getting the standard CD version.


More noise than a 14 speed blender
Not so much from shear volume, but from the piercing feedback. A word of caution: you may inccur hearing damage by listening to this album too loud. But when listened to at the right volume, you can hear everything, and it is like listening to the creation of the world. Simple pop songs of love, sadness, and freedom, but its the voicing that makes these songs stand out from other bands. The wall of sound is able to paint the chaos needed for such songs, without going overboard. This is easily in my top 4 favorite albums, and I own a lot.


A Return to Basics
Turn it on and turn it up. Psychocandy is the root of the root; the heart of the heart of hardcore. You will not be disappointed. .
