Title: Arrrgggghhhhh..... What happened to these guys?
Review: For so long did Catherine Wheel carry the torch oh so well for underground guitar music (OK, OK ... alternative rock). Not just with every new CD but with every new song came something different, something unexpected and most importantly; Catherine Wheel always had a sound of their own. Now it appears that CW are trying as hard as they possibly can to appeal to the mainstream masses by releasing an album containing one uninspiring guitar song after the next.To think that this was the band that use to bring us classics so perfect and so beautiful as "Heal", "Delicious", "The Nude", "Texture", etc., etc...... Only the anthemic "Gasoline" comes anywhere close. Don't get me wrong, Catherine Wheel are one of the most overlooked bands of the 90's but if you really want to hear the true Catherine Wheel, toss this and check out Ferment, Chrome or Happy Days.
Is the review positive or negative?
