The Jesus And Mary Chain - Honey's Dead FLAC album

Their true magnum opus - later albums ("Stoned And Dethroned" and "Munki") still earn the respect but none ever reached the perfection of this album. What they started with the one and only "Psychocandy", here reached a full circle. Audibly, JAMC were paying attention to what was going on in the alternative music world at the time, and the early 90s were ripe with the rave-embraced innovation (a certain Curve most likely come to mind here, especially due to the presence of drummer Monti), thus applying refreshing experimental techniques that gave this album its stunning, timeless shine.

Some of the ideas were audible on "Automatic" already, and here got brushed up to full effect - the opener "Reverence" is a track alone worth possession of the whole album but all that follows just continues speaking volumes - the amazing "Far Gone And Out" and "Rollercoaster" (reprised from the earlier 1990 EP), adding to it the gorgeous "Almost Gold", along with "Catchfire", "Sundown", "I Can't Get Enough", "Teenage Lust" and especially "Tumbledown" (a strong contender for a single that sadly never was, extra notable for its effective use of Einstürzende Neubauten's "Tanz Debil"). "Good For My Soul" and "Sugar Ray" may still be leaning on the electro-ish side of "Automatic" but keep up with "Honey's Dead" in its firmly consistent, truly excellent piece of work.
