Editorial Reviews

Night Of The Furies is the third full-length from The Rosebuds, and will have fans heading for the dance floor with "Get Up Get Out" and "Hold on to This Coat." Stylistically, however, Night Of The Furies follows a logical progression from their earlier work, 2003's The Rosebuds Make Out (MRG235) and 2005's Birds Make Good Neighbors (MRG264). The danceable beats meld with catchy melodies built on themes both dark and seductive. Thematically, the songs are presented as individual and random parts of a larger story. The mood is ominous yet enticing; dangerous yet enchanting. Lyrics explore revolution and struggle, actions and consequences, but also love and redemption. One could easily just bounce along on the infectious pop hooks. Dig a little deeper, however, and a larger story and unified themes begin to unfold.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2007

This album was my introduction to The Rosebuds (I'm going back and listening to "Birds Make..." now). With that being said, I think it is excellent. It seems a lot of fans of their earlier stuff don't dig it because it is considerably different. There is a definite New Order feel to it, so if that's not your thing then stay away.

This is the best new album I have heard this year.

Tracks with Kelly's vocals are superior. Most have Ivan singing lead, and they generally lack an "edge."

5.0 out of 5 stars Best album of 2007 so far...
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2007
As an enthusiastic fan of The Rosebuds for a couple of years now, I was somewhat taken aback when I first heard "Get Up Get Out" on band's MySpace site and didn't know what to think of the New Order-esque feel that is quite unlike the earlier Rosebuds music. At one point in the song, Ivan Howard even does the "Woo!" vocal that we always hear from Bernard Sumner of New Order. I was amused, to say the least. After a couple more listens, though, I couldn't get enough of the track and decided that I was definitely going to grab Night Of The Furies on the day of release.

I'm in love with this album in the same way that I loved Birds Make Good Neighbors back in 2005. The palette of sounds on Night Of The Furies appeals well to my love of 80's synth-pop (New Order, Depeche Mode, The Eurythmics, and all of that). The Rosebuds actually channel the spirit of Songs From The Big Chair-era Tears For Fears on the title song that closes the album. Synth influences aside, Night Of The Furies is the sound of The Rosebuds further developing their own style that blends infectious pop sensibility with often poignant lyrical matter centering around the challenges and rewards of a relationship. The album has no real weak points, although "Silja Line" conjures up the quirky Decemberists sound a bit much for my tastes. All in all, it's a fascinating album that I can't stop listening to and that I can't keep still to.

Here's looking forward to The Rosebuds show in Atlanta in June...at the same venue where I first became introduced to The Rosebuds when they opened for Ronnie Spector at a Christmas show in 2005. (Don't cancel the show this time like y'all did in March.)

Night Of The Furies has my highest recommendation, so I trust that all of you reading this will purchase the album at your earliest convenience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fusion of styles that works brilliantly
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2015
Fantastic album. Take everything great about 21st century indie rock (intelligent songwriting, excellent musicianship without showing off). Add what's great about 80s synth-pop (shimmery synth sounds, driving but not brainless rhythms). The result is Night of the Furies.

2.0 out of 5 stars Different very different.
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2007
Welp, I was expecting raw energy and amazing musicmanship like on "Birds." Killer riffs and passion of lyrics but then I played "Night" and said what the F is this. So I tell myself its tough to top an album like Birds. I dont know what direction there goin but it aint forward. Not so good, real dancey fake drum.

3.0 out of 5 stars Here's where the Rolands come in...
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2007
By far poppier than previous efforts, some may cry "fowl" after the earthy rush of "Birds Make Good Neighbors" or the more standard indie rock inclinations of their prior work.

A few interesting twists in the Rosebuds saga on this album: first off, it appears to be a concept album! "Night of the Furies" is a deft retelling of the Furies legend reframed in a modern-day Southern gothic sepia tone.

The Rosebuds have certainly not thrown out their previous headlong guitars, layered harmonies, or well-structured slower material: they've just added new ingredients that grab your attention on initial listens. Whether they're immediately successful remains to be seen. I found myself imagining a few of the tracks remixed for the dancefloor -- which gave me considerble pause.

Overall, though, the new "beats" are integrated well with the songs, and the songs are uniformly good. So it takes a little getting used to. But remember, this is essentially a two-member band. Evolution is not only inevitable, it's essential and desirable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ignore the detractors, this album is awesome...
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2007
...if you want a band to always stay the same and never evolve, there are plenty of stuck in a rut indie-bands for you to follow. This gifted band tried something new, and it really worked. The songwriting is awesome, the musicianship top notch...and yeah, there is sort of a New Order/Human League vibe on this album, but I don't really see that as a problem.

I would say this is an early candidate for one of the top album of the year slots (Particularly in a year in which a lot of returning artists have disappointed), and certainly another great find by mighty Merge Records.

3.0 out of 5 stars Huh? What happened to the Rosebuds?
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2007
I love the Rosebuds, just love em. There isn't a more underrated band out there, and Birds Make Good Neighbors is one of my favorite albums ever. I can and do play it over and over again. So I was foaming at the mouth for their new CD and bought it the day it came out. I was very disappointed. The drum machines, the disco-y dancing stuff, the pseudo-Abba/Armed Forces... it doesn't work, not at all. It was heartbreaking to listen to. That said, there are some good songs here. "Silja Line" is as good as a Rosebuds tune that there is. It's just a shame there isn't more like it. Ivan and Kelly...if you're listening...come back to good old fashioned rock/pop and leave the disco ball behind!!!
