Album Review
Picking the "best" Raincoats is more an intellectual exercise than it is a work of thoughtful criticism. So, to make it easy for the benighted, all three studio releases are absolutely essential. Their live cassette is wonderful, but not the ideal entry point. Better yet, start with their debut, a soaring, daring, avant-garde-influenced folk-punk record. Don't let the words "avant-garde" scare you off; the Raincoats are not harsh or unapproachable. In fact, this music, even at its most dissonant, is stunning and captivating. There's a great cover of the Kinks' "Lola" that's so skewed and obtuse, Ray Davies probably never dreamed it could sound this way. Reissued by Geffen on CD with extra tracks in 1995.
Customer Reviews
What a blast!
Someone played Fairytale in the Supermarket on the jukbox at the bar I was patronizing over the weekend. I forgot this album existed! I went home and bought it immediately. The whole thing is truly a gem and I am so happy I was reintroduced.
Great Album!
I can't believe there aren't more reviews on this album; it's great! All the songs got stuck in my head from the first listen.
Heartfelt Folk Punk...
This record delivers on so many levels. The obviously mean it... Production values aside, these tunes flat out have catchy grooves and riffs. Post-punk folk as a genre? Pretty good example of late 70's early 80's... I guess it is post-punk folk...
