Never Let Me Down Again

Catherine Wheel's newest album Wishville is UNDOUBTEDLY their most comercial album ever. Normally this is a bad thing, but the most impressive but not suprizing fact is it didn't chande their heart. Wishville was as I see it, an attempt to save rock, wich was aparant in the first radio release Sparks Are Gonna Fly. This was reminisant of the mid 90's grunge area and bought us back to the amazing hardhitting riffs of their 95 release "Happy Days." The second release "Gasoline" had reminants of Bush's 16stone album, and it is good to hear these sounds return. Altho CW swears that their showgazing daze are over, their latest tour (included in the CD set) showed us that they can make empty promises, and I'm glad they did. Seeing them twice on the tour (once at bowery a few months before this recording) proved that the dreamy effect of Robs vocals and Brian's guitar, Neils chilling harmony, and the suprising performances by newest bassist Ben will keep us "showgazing", even when greats like "Black Metalic" are retired. The quality of the live recording will capture you in your car or at home, and "dream" you back to your first CW show. Altho I know any fans reading this already know enough to buy it, I would like to wish all newcomers a happy listening. October 30, 2000
