Customer Reviews
A Dark Masterpiece
This album totally changed my life. At 16, this is the first work of art that approached my depth of spiritual isolation and gothic despair. The songs on this album haunted me with their otherworldy beauty for many years. Not at all a poseurish, creepy darkness, but more a solemn quietude, every song with a silver lining tinged with hope of sunnier days to come...and they eventually did.
This album helped me through the darkest and most turbulent days of adolescence and today is a powerful reminder of how music can comfort and sometimes transform the soul. Listening to this album today, it's heartbreaking how miserably overlooked it was and continues to be. Not only for goths, (I never really was one), this is highly recommended for alt-rock and synthpop music lovers as well. A true gem.
An Unappreciated Classic.
Clan Of Xymox's best album. Rich textures, sweeping, romantic melodies. The last 30 seconds of "Back Door" are worth ten dollars alone. There's really not another album that sounds like this one. This and their debut are the only Xymox albums worth the money IMO.
The Clan Forever!
Oh my goodness, is there anything negative I can say about this album? Ummmm...Can't think of anything. Clan of Xymox may not be for everyone, but if you like darkwave, new wave, or any other kind of wave, do yourself a favor and buy this. Medusa can't be beat for blending the fun 80's pop sound with sweet, tragic melancholy. COX is great for any mood you're in and it's very good for driving. Even if you don't like it at first, I'm 99.9% certain that it WILL grow on you like hair on a chia pet, as it did for me.
Highlights of Medusa
Theme I - Pretty, lots of atmosphere. Instrumental. It's pure castles, mist, and Wuthering Heights.
Medusa - Understated awe. Very eerie, Wonderful song.
Michelle - Fun song with awesome drums.
Louise - Oh, LOUISE! How I adore this song. Sung from the perspective of a lover who got burned in a bad way, "Louise" is utterly heartwrenching, and it's mostly in the way it's sung. It also has a great melody that will get stuck in your head for weeks on end.
Back Door - Another good song. Sung with total passion.
Clan of Xymox definitely needs more love and recognition, so buy this album. Right now. Dooo iiiittt.
