| Review or Comments: | Do not overlook this album because it's covers of other peoples' songs. This is a very clever album, with a great selection of covers--truly not a bad track on this CD. It plays from start to end with an encapsulation awe, tainted with a touch psychedelic joy. The sound quality is brilliant. It's a 10/10. |

The Church have covered various artists throughout their career when performing live. This is a thank you to the fans, pure and simple and it works quite well, considering that most cover albums can be embarrassing to most bands. Cortez the Killer is better than Neil Young's version. MUCH better. No, I will NOT take that back, I like it BETTER. Sacrilege? Listen to this killer 11 minute plus track and tell me that is doesn't kick Neil's version out of the room! Iggy's Endless Sea is masterfully covered here as well. A perfect song for Steve's delivery! My other fave is It's All Too Much. Perfect homage to George Harrison and they rock with this one while having fun. As I have said before, it is great when a band like the Church stay serious and committed to their atmospheric tunes, but when they get a chance to have FUN with the music, I am happy for THEM as much as for myself when the love of musicianship shines through. This album is a clear example of The Church having FUN and it shows. |
