Negative Positive
Title: Rock with melody and originality - not Nirvana riffs
Review: I've been into the Jesus and Mary Chain for a while, but I've often heard that "die-hard fans" won't like this album. Not true. It's mellow (mostly acoustic), but has some of the best melodies and vocals they've ever done. Anyone who likes melodic rock (with slight punk influences still evident) will probably like this CD. To give a comparison, if you like the mellower Smashing Pumpkins songs, or the Velvet Underground (who were an influence on the J&MC), you should listen to this. Another J&MC CD worth buying if you're new to them, which has some harder, noiser stuff as well, is "The Jesus and Mary Chain Hate Rock N' Roll". They have a new one coming out in June called "Munki" which will be on the Subpop label.
Is the review positive or negative?
