Love this Album,
By
This review is from: Eureka (Audio CD)
I had heard some songs from Mother Mother before (Hayloft, Body of Years, O My Heart) and liked them, and when I heard The Stand on the radio I LOVED it and downloaded their sophmore album. I couldn't wait for Eureka to come out and since I bought it, it is pretty much the only CD in my car player. My favorite songs include Chasing it Down, Original Spin, Simply Simple, Oleander and The Stand. The other songs are all great too, these just happen to be the ones I can't stop listening to. I was lucky enough to see Mother Mother live and let me tell you they are one hell of a solid band, and very entertaining. Original, fun, talented, great melodies and lyrics - these guys are the whole package and I really hope the word spreads!

Eureka may be a letdown for hardcore MM fans,
By Deep thinker 9 - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Eureka (Audio CD)
I am a huge MM fan and have been waiting for some new music from them for over 2 years. The band's 2 earlier releases `Touch Up' and `O My Heart' are both indie rock classics(esp. Touch Up)that would both make my top 10 `desert island discs'. Having said that "Eureka' simply doesn't measure up to the brilliance of the earlier releases. This doesn't mean it is a bad disc, as there arestill 5 or 6 solid songs, but it is clear the band is pursuing a more straightforward rock/pop sound as opposed to the artsy and quirky mostly acoustic approach that made Touch Up and O My Heartso endearing. Ryan Guldemond has considerable talents as a songwriter and I can understand his wanting to expand the band's sound and appeal. There are lots of good hooks and catchy moments on Eureka. Of course the flip side is that fans are free to complain that we liked this band better the way they used to sound. Overall, this record has a more electric and harder sound than the earlier releases. Fortunately, the vocal and harmonic excellence that gives MM its unique sound is still largely present on Eureka. The vocal interplay between Ryan and sister Molly and new vocalist Jasmin Parkin still offers some fun moments. MM is one of those bands that can really be appreciated with a good set of headphones where one can really pick up some of the subtle nuances of their music, especially the vocals. Unfortunately, the way this album was mixed and produced seems to have deemphasized the vocals quite a bit in the mix in favor of a more guitar and keyboard/synth sound that comes off as a little too slick and at times overproduced(go back and listen to just about any song on Touch Up or O My Heart and see how much more prominent the vocals are and you will see what I mean.). On the positive side, MM has always done a great job of properly sequencing and segueing the songs on their CDs. Best songs on Eureka include `Oleander', `Calm me Down', `Chasing it Down' and Baby Don't Dance'. `Problems' will grow on you after a few listens. There is some filler here too, such as `Aspiring Fires', `Simply Simple' and the annoying `Getaway'. If you've just heard about MM, first go back and pick up `O My Heart' and then `Touch Up.' I read some reviews where people really like OMH but can't get into TU. I don't get this, although I tend to go for more unusual sounds. Touch Up would get 5 stars, OMH gets 4, and Eureka gets 3. Let's home MM can regain some of their original quirkiness on their next release. 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful

Never Forced. Always Great.,

Another addition to my mother mother collection. Great composition, amazing vocals. What really strikes me about Mother Mother is that they take their time is putting out new material. If you ever get a chance, check them out live... best concert I have ever been to. ever.

Awesome,
By Eureka - Published on Amazon.com
Very happy I found them. Very unique and different sounding, even from the other songs on the album. I just wish I'd found them sooner.
