Siberia

Buyer Critiques

They definitely hit a stride with this release. All Given that of You Days is a unique song. The jangles are breathtaking as they rotate with the beats. I can not come across a single difficulty with any song. This Siberia does not leave me cold, it leaves me with wanting a lot more.

This has to be the comeback record of the century. From Crocodiles via to their no-name 1987 album Echo maintained a regularly high common, possibly peaking with Heaven up Here or Porcupine and tailing a tiny at either end. But right after 1987 it was down the toilet, rapid. Oh nicely, their inspiration lasted longer than that of 99% of rock groups. Now, out of nowhere, comes this Siberia and it is as if they are just out of the studio from that earlier string of five. McCulloch's voice has softened a touch, the wildness mostly gone, but that's not out of character with the songs. Amazingly, with a new rhythm section they still manage to evoke the heyday of Pattison and de Freitas, and Sergeant is right back to form, commenting and colouring with lots to say. Lyrics, often the strong point of this group, are relevant to 2006 and to the group's, how shall we say it, maturity, with out becoming fuddy-duddy or trying to be echt-hip. As my son says, sounds like they've learned from all the groups that have been inspired by them. Let's hope this is the start off of an indian summer and not the last gasp.
