The Church - Forget Yourself (2003)

The Church - Forget Yourself

   "Forget Yourself" is the 17th Album by the Aussie band who call themselves The Church....my god where has time gone eh ?    It was back in the 80's that I first discovered the Pysch-pop beauty of the music of The Church.   I picked up some of their early album but lost touch during the 90's but with "Forget Yourself" I have gone back to church !   EGAD !
    
        "Forget Yourself" draws on the symphonic psych-pop of their 80's work and perhaps blends in a slightly harder edged to this sound.   Lead singer Steven Kilbey still sounds the same with his distinctive dark droned tones and his pop sensitivities.  The Church had always kind of carved out a very unique sound and this album fits right into that mold basically.  
    The whole album plays well from start to end with 14 excellent songs that seem to fit very well together never getting too harsh or too laid back for too long.
