Free Music Notes for This Beautiful Mess
Free Music Review: A dozen years later, still one of my all time favourites
Hit: 5 Stars
In 1995, this album felt like a natural progression from "the Fatherless and the Widow," just as that album had evolved from "the Original Demos." When their eponymous album was released, it seemed like an odd tangent. Now that we can look back over the entire catalog of Sixpence's songs (and it's sad that we can do so already), it is more clear that it was "This Beautiful Mess" that was a departure from the core of what Sixpence has become. Of course, there were occasional glimpses of Sixpence as a rock band, such as "Sad But True" and "Paralyzed," but for more than a decade I have longed for more of what this album gave me. Anytime I play this CD, I am instantly transported to the time I first became acquainted with this brilliant album, to the time when this album changed my life. It never fails to evoke an emotional response. There is a very short list of albums that I enjoy from start to finish, and this is one of them. Even after all of these years, it is still thoroughly enjoyable. Sixpence is a band that shot to international fame on the back of what may very well be the weakest song in their catalog (that's the industry for ya). But compare and contrast their pop hits with this album, which is full of raw and gritty substance. "This Beautiful Mess" is an overlooked gem that I tell everyone about. "Kiss Me" is the song that made them huge, but this is the album that made them big. They could have gone anywhere from here. I wonder what direction they would have gone had Tess Wiley stayed in the band, or had they continued to rock without her. To quote one of the (too) many covers Sixpence recorded, "nothing sadder than the words 'it might have been.'" At least they left us with this one.
