"It's poetry time, right by T. T. Goodell (Oregon, USA)  5 Stars
October 21, 2005
here in your living room." If you appreciate Mark Sandman's poetic artistry coupled with the murky, liquid milieu of Billy Conway and Dana Colley, this CD is for you. It contains more musical poetry (or is it poetic music?) than any other Morphine CD. Listen with the lights off; let the sounds envelop you, and you will see what I mean.

"I got an action-packed extravaganza..." (from "Mile High") by B. Hamblin 5 Stars
January 25, 2004
This collection of Morphine rarities shows off Mark Sandman's spoken word performance as much as it shows off the band's standard low rock sound and skill with ethereal low-fi.The live tracks are great, with "Have a Lucky Day" having a bit more frivolity than the studio version; "Mail," "My Brain," "Pulled Over the Car," and the lyrically-rich "Kerouac" are all Sandman-as-poet tracks; "Bo's Veranda" is acoustic guitar made for relaxing with drinks; the two long-format songs, "Sundayafternoonweightlessness" and "Down Love's Tributaries" bring the trippiness of Colley's dragging saxophones and shows off free-form jazz roots, and the swank "Mile High" and "Shame" (two of Morphine's best rockers) keep the entire album from getting too bottom-heavy.This is a must-buy for any Morphine fan, and is representative of the various genres and styles that have influenced the band.

take it easy, folks by carlos patino (Cali, Colombia)  4 Stars
June 27, 2003
for me the album is just another morphine album. by that, I'm trying to say that morphine has no bad album. this may be a b-sides work but it sounds like a average one. don't be silly, folks. don't try to find a secret message. here's the band at his best. it's not junk music, it's the old band playing as usual. spend a good moment and turn off the tv.

it rocks 5 Stars
July 16, 2001
very different from the norm. sometimes its not about what YOU think a band should be about. sometimes its about the band messing their fans a little. this isn't typical morphine. if all you can stomach is typical morphine (or typical anything) you are wasting your time and money. for those of you that are open to some cool and weird stuff, you'll love it. i promise. doodoobrad >>> atl >>> GA.

June 09, 2001
Of all the Morphine albums this by far the worst. This is the only Morphine album I would not reccomend. In my opinion YES is by far the best album. For me the albums beakdown like this: Yes is 5 stars, the other albums are 4 stars except for The Night which is 3 stars.

| The Night
by Morphine
Singer-bassist-frontman Mark Sandman died July 3, 1999, onstage just outside Rome doing what he loved most. While it was never intended as a swan song, The Night, Morphine's fifth official studio album (not counting a B-sides collection or a projected live album), has all the dramatic hallmarks of a long, permanent goodbye. The band's "low-rock"--of bass, baritone sax, drums, and Sandman's own Leonard Cohen-afterworld vocals--always had a finality about it. The serious mix of blues fatalism...

| Like Swimming
by Morphine
Morphine's music, which connects with listeners on a very physical level, is so simple it's amazing no one's done it before. Using exclusively low-register instruments, Mark Sandman's two-string bass and baritone voice, and Dana Colley's bass and baritone saxophones, the band's songs actually reverberate in the chest, treating listeners to a low-impact massage. And anything that feels this good can't be bad. But Morphine's blessing--that distinctive low rock sound--is also their curse. Not...

| Good
by Morphine
With no guitars and a half a set of bass strings, Morphine managed to rock harder than most of their fret-bound competition while retaining the slippery nocturnal undercurrent that would become their signature sound. On this 1992 debut album, the Boston trio strips down the minor-key blues of frontman Mark Sandman's former group, Treat Her Right, and adds a host of off-kilter elements. Sandman's slide bass and narcoleptic vocals are perfectly complemented by Dana Colley's frenetic baritone sax,...

| Cure for Pain
by Morphine
Cure for Pain is a most unlikely artistic breakthrough from a thoroughly unlikely band. Fronted by saxophone and two-string slide bass guitar, Morphine earned a modicum of critical praise for their prior recording, Good, but Cure for Pain has a harder edge and a distinctly bigger sound. "Buena" urges the listener, with singer and bassist Mark Sandman's best come-hither baritone voice, "closer to the front of the stage," and then "Candy" tells a love-lost story that could come right out of Tom...

| Yes
by Morphine
Originally released in 1995, Yes was Boston-based trio Morphine's third album. Featuring Mark Sandman on vocals and slide bass, Dana Colley on baritone sax, and Billy Conway on drums, Yes hit #1 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart, expanding the group's substantial cult following and the appeal of their noirish, guitar free, "low rock" sonics. Critical acclaim for the album and stand-out tracks, including singles "Honey White" and Super Sex," paved the way for Morphine's major label deal the...
