Product Description
Amazon.co.uk review
Considering some of Jason Piece's beguiling (if a little bombastic) output over the last few years, Amazing Grace is a refreshing breath of raw sweat-laden air from Spiritualised. With the tracks recorded live and the whole album completed in just three weeks, gone are Mr J Spaceman's often grandiose orchestrations in favour of an urgency all but extinct on Spiritualised albums since 1992's Lazer Guided Melodies.
Opening with a 10-second slice of screeching feedback, "This Little Life of Mine" paves the way to the garage of rock with heaving guitars and Piece's growling vocals setting the album's standard. There is a delicious disregard for continuity throughout Amazing Grace, most notably when "Oh Baby" a neck-hair teasing ballad of listless beauty trickles into the rousing Stooges flavoured rock of "Never Going Back". But elsewhere it's back to gospel choir backed business as usual with "Lord Let It Rain on Me", which in isolation, remains a welcome ingredient. Diverse, vital and unpretentious throughout, Amazing Grace is a welcome return to roots and a bewitching album that itches to be played again and again. --Christopher Barrett

saw this in sale for a quid at local HMV palace of horrors, and didn't have change. fail to understand why so cheap there as indeed here, but see no need to complain. this is a sterling effort at raising the soul from its state of suffocation. you can feel the breath rushing back in.

Brought this on Friday just gone, and have not stopped listening to it. On first hearing, a little disjointed between the Garage and Gospel. Second listening the true beauty of the songs harsh and soft started to permeate out. Third listening, totally immersed, again.
Spiritulized and Pierce have consistently been the best band of the past decade and this album got me to dig out my copies of Pure Phase, Laser Guided Melodies, ...floating in space and Let It Come Down. Put together it is an incredible canon of music, individually evry album is a potent soundscape with incredible imagination
4 stars for the album
5 stars for the band.
Mr Spaceman, please don't ever come down.
