Title: Insecurities and Fears Revealed
Review: Catherine Wheel's Wishville strikes a nice balance between the laid-back momentum songs found on Adam and Eve and the hard-driving songs from the classic Happy Days CD.I think the reason most Catherine Wheel fans don't like this CD is because of the weak opening tracks Sparks Are Gonna Fly and Gasoline. But the outstanding tracks (Lifeline, Idle Life, What We Want To Believe In, and Ballad Of The Running Man) make this an exceptional recording.The lyrics are singer Rob Dickerson's most personal and revolve around his insecurities and fears ("I am delicious. I am crap" - All Of That).Also of interest is the Storm Thorgerson album artwork reminiscent of Pink Floyd's Ummagumma.[DW]
