she makes my nose bleed
Reviews:
"(She Makes My Nose) Bleed"
Next up are Mansun, comprising the epic, sweeping indie contingent. Not previously impressing too much, this and last single "Wide Open Space" sees Mansun leave behing sub-Britpop guitar mediocrity and begin to tread the same ground that bands such as Bowie, U2 and Radiohead have trod before them. Epic in scope and execution, "Bleed" sweeps you up into a shimmering cloud then deposit you back on terra firma shaken and wanting more.
The first of the extra tracks is "The Most To Gain", a wonderfully lush and warm song with swooning vocals. Next is "Flourella", a full-on glam metal racket sounding like Marc Bolan crashing into Zooropa with a machine gun. Last song on the EP is an acoustic version of "Bleed", some sterling guitar work making this more than just a Mansun unplugged throwaway.
Rating: 9/10
