Product Description

[Note: This product is an authorized CD-R and is manufactured on demand]

Amazon.com

With Tanya Donnelly's defection to the Breeders, this sixth album from the Boston band is essentially (and justifiably) a solo vehicle for guitarist, singer & songwriter Kristen Hersh. "Dio," with guest vocalist Bob Mould, is the marquee track, but Hersh plays and sings throughout with an intensity that brings to mind Neil Young and Tom Verlaine. --Jeff Bateman

5.0 out of 5 stars Kristen Hersch breaks out with a keeper
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2004
Red Heaven grabbed my attention on its release because it truly seemed to be inspired by muses. Power rock with no frills, frequent acoustic interludes, spooky vocals, and lyrics to wrap your brain around, not unlike prime Dylan.

These lyrics have a timeless feeling of hard luck lives in small remote towns separated by long stretches of highway - without ever making such obvious references. The ensemble and production are bony and flexible in both electric and acoustic modes, easily shifting tempos and melodies (perhaps why it sounds unstructured to some), making Red Heaven sound somewhat outside of its time and enduring as a musical document.

I especially like Pearl, Dirty Water, Backroad, and Rosetta Stone, but there are no bad songs and the sequencing holds up interest from end to end. Hersch and Mould sound great together on Dio, a little like Buddy and Julie Miller. Red Heaven is as good as the Muses' self-titled debut, much better than University, and highly recommended for anybody checking this band out.

3.0 out of 5 stars No target audience besides the fans then
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2004
Although shortly released after the departure of two of the four members of the band ( guitarist Tanya Donelly and bassist Fred Abong left to form Belly ) , " Red Heaven " is a particulary strong collection of solid rock tunes .

Hersh's hellish vocals once again whip the air , the lyrics are out of control and striking ( " you're furious / i beg you for sin / i beg your skin / you buy a w***e / don't give her water !..." ) plus the element of suprise , a key behind the group's eternal freshness is still here . " Pearl " for example starts off as an acoustic melody of some sort and exactly when you feel like the song has nothing more to say , the Muses deceide to rock , giving to the track a whole new dimension .

So far so good . Fans will be happy for one more time yet ... how many others will be impressed ? It's strange how less organised this sounds and how less important it feels in comparison to " The Real Ramona " - arguably the band's best record - released just one year ago . With the exception of " Carnival Wing " - so beautiful in it's own angst - there's not a track here capable of braking the wall standing between their indie fanbase and the wider rock audience .

Kristin Hersh deserves credit for not giving a damn all these years for what the charts want and for playing the game always in her own terms . " Red Heaven " clearly doesn't lack the talent nor the energy . What's missing here is the vision .

5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely brilliant
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2002
This is my favorite Muses album (Limbo is a close second) and they really rock out here. Also, some of Hersh's most mature work displayed in all it's glory on "Pearl" and "Carnival Wig." All the songs are great here except I dislike "Dio" (question of taste I guess). Sophisticated alternative rock with great lyrics. Oh, and David's drumming is fantastic.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Departure From Their Earlier Style
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2002
If you're a fan of earlier Throwing Muses, such as House Tornado, Hunkpapa, or The Real Ramona, this album will disappoint you. It seems a lot changed between The Real Ramona and this album. For one, Tanya Donelley left band. She seemed to give the band a needed contrast to Kristin Hersh's depressive songs.
I am a fan of Belly and the Breeders, so it should be no surprise that post-Donelly Throwing Muses has very little appeal to me. However, Hersh's solo efforts are beautiful and you should check out "Hips & Makers."
