Forgetting myself 1 Feb 2004
Format:Audio CD
And so a new Church album appears. Luckily for us that feel a strange kinship to Steve Kilbey and his band. Luckily, that even as The Church increasingly convey a sense of despondence and weariness, they continue to produce music. And contrary to most bands that lose their touch (since many are founded on all sorts of superficial sensibilities) The Church has in fact grown better as they have matured, without losing their chops either, mind you.

This album is a little rougher, and not as smoothly structured as the last one. It contains much of the familiar talk-singing, muted, vocal stylings of Kilbey, Willson-Piper sings somewhat affectedly-throaty on one track (but thats ok - we still love it), the guitars chime wonderfully, and what is-is.

Still, instead of churning out their effortlessly glorious harmonies, they have added just a bit more saccarine this time, but at the same time added some more pain, sharp sounds, crashing percussion, to counter it.

The result is a somewhat more acute sound. Very effective at times, emotive like an off-tune and warped, wind-up music box.

And Kilbey's words are still fantastic, impressionistically dabbed stories, self contained worlds..

Guitar revival eh? Somehow most people forgot the band that unimportantly had a huge hit in the 80's only to fade into the background, and there continue to produce the most excellent guitar based music. I don't care, I know, and The Church continue to provide.

Coldplay fans et al, this is the original. And SOOO much better.

Forget Yourself 23 Jan 2004
By "hatn"
Format:Audio CD
Like all good albums, Church albums require quite a few listens before one can fully appreciate them; so I write this several months after my first listen and Forget Yourself has painted me once again the fantastic sonic landscape that I know so well as a Church fan. But only after the album struggles through the first six tracks does the real Church magic shine through.

'Sealine' and 'Song in Space' begin the album cold and fail to draw you in. Just when things start to get better, Marty's sadly predictable and corny vocals on "see your lights" drag an otherwise sound song into a lesser realm and leave an ugly hole, bang in the centre of the album.

Songs like Maya and June finally send us gently adrift across the Church's mysterious world, and when the album ends we awake, lost, at peace, and with the overwhelming sense that we just experienced something awesome.

Unfortunately Forget Yourself lacks the flawless consistency of it's predecessor (After Everything Now This). I believe the album suffers from some shaky attempts at commercial success and at the stage in the album when the Church forget about this and just make their beautiful music, it's stunning.
