Music reviews of Hymns to the Silence

Music Review: hiss on MP3
Rating: 3 Stars

Was this album ever properly digitally recorded? Every single MP3 or streaming version of "I'm not Feeling it Anymore" I can find on the web is loaded with cassette-style hiss......and I have a 9K Hz hearing cut---so if I can hear it, it must be there. But I really like the song---so I'll seek it out on a used CD in a local shop where I can try it out first and make sure I'm getting both discs.

Description of Hymns to the Silence

Japanese only double SHM-CD (Super High Material CD - playable on all CD players) pressing of this rock album. SHM-CDs can be played on any audio player and delivers unbelievably high-quality sound. You won't believe it's the same CD! Universal. 2008.
Described aptly in the liner notes as a "panoramic view of where he's been and where he's going," this weighty double-disc captures Van in all of the guises he adopted in the 1980s and early '90s. There are several devotional pieces, a couple of splendid rants ("Professional Jealousy" and "Why Must I Always Explain"), two collaborations with the Chieftains, and jazzy swingers driven by Georgie Fame's organ. The real heart of the album is Van's evocation of his childhood in lyrics and arrangements that capture the joys of discovering rock & roll while growing up in Belfast amid that city's conflicting passions. There are several high points for connoisseurs of his stream-of-consciousness lyrical rambles, notably "On Hyndford Street" and "Take Me Back." As an album, the mood swings too dramatically to be coherent, but in its individual parts there is evidence of true genius. --Rob Stewart
