Music reviews of This Is the Sea
Music Review: Excellent re-issue with bonus CD
Rating: 4 Stars
I bought This is the Sea many years ago, after I saw the Waterboys open up for U2 at a concert in the DC metro area. At first, I did not care much for the album, but it really grew on me over time. I recently bought the re-issue and glad that I did. This is the Sea is an excellent album which demonstrates the wide music array of talent of the Waterboys. The original album includes great songs such as Bang the Drum, Whole of the Moon (best song on the album), Pan Within, and the classic title song. The bonus CD includes more great songs, and some strong live versions as well.
The re-issue includes detailed notes from Mike Scott in which he describes how the album was recorded (to include the bonus CD material), and the many influences of his music. You can definitely hear the influence of Van Morrison, and celtic music mixed with U2. They almost sound like a much more positive version of Echo and the Bunnymen. If you like Van Morrison, U2, the Alarm, Simple Minds, Big Country, and other UK bands like these from the 80s, then I would try this album. You may find a hidden jewel.
Description of This Is the Sea
This expanded version of the undisputed classic Waterboys album includes a bonus disc of extra material chosen by Mike Scott from his own archives. Including seven previously unreleased tracks, one b-side never before available on CD and Scott's ansaphone message from 1985.General CDs
