Full review
This album was release in 93 and is the second album from this Welsh band. This is quite a short album with only 10 tracks, but is still a good quality album. It has more of a rock sound than the last album as the guitars sound is more prominent than they have ever done and their lyrics are brilliant and well thought through as usual.
This was the third manics album I bought after Generation Terrorist and even though overall the length of this album is short, it makes up for that in the quality of the tracks. This is a great album to listen to and even non-manics fans would enjoy listening to this if they are into rock styled music.
The Track listing is: 1. Sleepflower 2. From Dispair To Where 3. La Tristessa Durera(Scream to a sigh) 4. Yourself 5. Life Becoming A Landslide 6. Drug Drug Druggy 7. Roses In The Hospital 8. Nostalgic Pushead 9. Syphony of Tourette 10. Gold Against The Soul
Out of all of these featured on this album I personally prefere ‘La Tristesse Durera (Scream to a sigh)’, ‘Roses In The Hospital’ and ‘Gold Against The Soul’. Which are great to listen to from the album or played live in concert.
This is a great album and well worth the listen, the only thing that let's it down is the overall length.
