Album Reviews: CMJ (6/4/01, p.22) - \"...Edo has a deceptively mellow style that conveys emotion and intellect in subtle ways, often hitting you long after a song is done...\"
Advantages: Better than "Terraforma" Disadvantages: Not as good as "At Action Park"
...Shellac, if you didn't know, are the musical project of three producers named Todd Trainer (drums), Bob Weston (bass + vocals) and Steve Albini (guitar + vocals). All three of them are hugely touted amongst the underground and have put their names to consistently excellently sounding records, but if you're not familiar with these obscure records you're not likely to have heard of them. Steve Albini on the other hand, has lent his hand to records like "In Utero" by Nirvana, Bush's "Razorblade Suitcase" and many other famous names. If you're familiar with Albini's production style (raw, dirty, distinctly Pro-Tools free), then Shellac's sound won't surprise you one bit. It's abrasive, it's angular, it's complex, and it's angry as all hell.
"1,000 Hurts" is their third album, and many people say it's their best yet. I personally...

Advantages: Great Voice, Some great Tracks. Disadvantages: A few weak/boring songs.
...***INTRO***
The name 'TruthHurts' came from Dr Dre. Shari (AKA TruthHurts) is from St Louis, and I would describe her as a relatively unknown urban vocalist. The album 'Truthfully Speaking' was released in 2002.
***APPEARANCE OF THE ALBUM***
As you can see from the picture above, the album cover is nothing out of the ordinary. The front cover features TruthHurts from the front. The back cover features a close up of TruthHurts face. Not very much imagination has gone into the covers.
***WHO WILL LIKE THIS ALBUM?***
If you like urban/R&B music then it is possible you will enjoy this album. I expect that if you enjoy the music of Mary J Blige, Blu Cantrell and Tweet then you will probably like TruthHurts.
***WHERE CAN I BUY THIS ALBUM***
From Amazon.co.uk: £6.97
From Play.com: £9.99
