5.0 out of 5 stars Quiet, fragile, stately, beautifully brilliant..., 4 Jun 2001
By Anthony Lynas (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Things We Lost in the Fire (Audio CD)
Things we lost in the fire, for the most part, carries the sound of a band defeated. Lyrically, Sunflower, Laser Beam and Dinosaur Act seem to question Low's place in modern society. Yet they never achieve anything more than a snail's pace, so that even minor changes of tempo, such as on Dinosaur Act, are magnified, almost akin to the work of composers such as Gorecki.

The fragility of the songs almost reaches breaking point on the tender and delicate July, a paranoia-laced lament on hibernation. Low themselves appear to be heading into hibernation, slowing, meditating, and they take their music with them.

Yet, despite it all, the album is emotionally involving, and when the end is reached, and the shaft of light that is the Eno-esque In Metal shines through, all the darkness that has gone before is banished.

Beautiful and eventually uplifting, this is an album that demands listening to.

4.0 out of 5 stars near perfection, 18 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Things We Lost in the Fire (Audio CD)
Low, over their quiet career, have been gradually embracing more traditional approaches to songwriting, and this is probably their most easily digested release- minimal, sparse and lush. The harmonies of Alan and Mimi resound with an incredible amount of beauty, their simplicity adding to their (gentle) power. Anyone who has only heard 'songs for a dead pilot' or anything before that will be surprised, the shoddy term 'post-rock' can in no way describe them now. For comparisons, try Galaxie 500, Delgados, (some) Palace etc. First great lp of 2001.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, 22 Nov 2003
This review is from: Things We Lost in the Fire (Audio CD)
So hard to categorise Low. I was first introduced to them through this album, and have acquired every recording since then. This album sums them up. Tender , kind and enigmatic lyrics are sung by Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker. And they are quite simply the most beautiful harmonies I have ever heard. To me they have re-defined pop music, snd everything I hear now is benchmarked against this album.
