2.0 out of 5 stars Oh dear... what have you done?, 13 Sep 2006

By	R. Sieradzki (Staffordshire, U.K.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Without Feathers (Audio CD)

You know how sometimes your tastes progress and CD's are left collecting dust, and then some time after you feel the sudden urge to listen to that CD again? Well I recently felt that with Logic Will Break Your Heart, The Stills' debut album. I remember absolutely loving that Montreal post-punk sound, and I still do now.

I decided to see if The Stills had a new album out (as one was due), and at the time it was near release. So I awaited its release eagerly, and when it was released I was very surprised, and disappointed. The sound and style has totally changed. Now I have nothing against bands changing their direction, if it's a prosperous direction; this is not the case with Without Feathers. Greg Paquet, the guitarist on the Logic album whom I respect alot, has left the band due to musical differences (I can understand why). Dave Hamelin (the drummer) has replaced Greg on guitar, found a new drummer and now that Liam guy has grown a beard and joined the band full-time, playing keys.

Without Feathers sounds alot more optimistic, piano is found everywhere; it generally sounds more pop than previous. Hamelin seems to have become a joint frontman. Nothing really jumps out on this record; there's certainly no radio hits here.

If you're expecting the sound and the slightly immature and angst lyrics (which were actually very good) from Logic, then you'll be deeply disappointed, as was I. With The Stills, I do feel that I've lost something that I will never get back. Hopefully The Stills will revert or Greg Paquet will start a new project.

2.0 out of 5 stars A big let down, 16 May 2006

By	K. Newton "Newts" (Hove, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Without Feathers (Audio CD)

Having loved almost every track on Logic Will Break Your Heart, i was anticipating big things from the follow up but unfortunately i've found this album disappointing. From the opening bars of In The Beginning something immediately didn't feel right. The urgency and intensity from the debut is absent pretty much throughout and if you enjoyed the 80's post punk feel of Logic Will Break Your Heart then i'm afraid for me it's just not here.

The only way to describe this is a re-invention, a new direction if you will, and I guess you have to say The Stills have been brave in making such a bold move but they may find their core audience alienated by this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really really good - it just needs a chance, 3 Jul 2007

By	Scott Mackie (Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I agree with the other review - this isnt BETTER than Logic, its different. Some of the songs are utter brilliance. Its a shame that the album hasnt done so well - personally i think it has gotten poor publicity. I saw them live supporting Kings on Leon and the songs were great live - even if I was the only one singing all the words!!!!!
