ho hum Is is as good as their first? What I heard on CFUV was the choppy sloppy yelly stuff they seem to play live these days... their 1st album had that magical drunken spastic crooning thing going for it. But it was mastered really trebly for some reason. - Wed, 4 Jun 2003 11:42am
Jeff I like the review for their first ablum on brandxmedia.com

"I really didn't know what to expect when I first gave this CD a listen, After seeing Frog Eyes a number of times in bars I found it sort of hard to grasp what a studio release would sound like, but once I listened to it, it quickly grew on me. I hate comparisons. It seems lazy to me, when a band has an unmistakably original sound, so people have no better way to describe them than to play a game of mix and match of other bands to give the reader a half decent idea of how they sound. Unfortunately I can�t think of any other way to do it in this one. So I�ll try to do it with a little imagination here.
It�s about four in the morning and the the street cleaners take the streets. The night crowd is long gone but their confusion and madness still echo. You look down the sidewalk and you see a drug addled John Fruciente and a rowdy drunk Nick cave in a fight to the death. Their weapons are awkward to handle because they are home made musical instruments they had found in a dumpster just a few feet away. It�s an emotional fight. They may be fighting over a girl, or maybe it�s over an unreturned video rental, the only thing you know for sure is that the sounds of screaming and clanking are strange and beautiful."

I think that can easily apply to the second one as well. - Wed, 4 Jun 2003 1:45pm
British Motor Works? Did you know that The Bloody Hand was #11 on Brave New Waves' top 50 list?
