The Lightning Seeds — Sense: Reviews
An Overlooked Classic
Rightly or wrongly I have always viewed this album as somewhat overlooked. A symptom of the dreaded 'second album syndrome'. Artistically, however, nothing could be further from the truth. I have often described this album as The Lightning Seeds get depressed, but then, a degree of poignancy runs through all of their records, but this is a little more miserable than most. And its beautiful. The album begins optimistically enough with "Sense" and "Life Of Reilly". Then the songs take on a darker slant beginning with "A Cool Place". The brilliant "Where Flowers Fade" is a sublime piece of song writing, and "A Small Slice Of Heaven" and "Tingle Tangle" (awful title, brilliant song) are fantastic tunes. My personal favourite song is "Marooned", and the final track "Thinking Up Looking Down" is one of the greatest album closers ever - it is emotive and beautiful with the final refrain of "I miss those days" always bringing a lump to my throat. Don't ignore this album - it is as relevant as all their other albums, and, if you twisted my arm to rank the Lightning Seeds albums in order of preference, I would rank this second.
Highly recommended.
