The Vines – Highly Evolved

Such an amazing album. My color vinyl of this one is just perfect. And when they do a special edition of an album, it's because the CD sounded great too :) OVERALL 5/5

I love this pressing, such an underestimated album, I'm glad to have this limited edition from it

Sounds good. Like the other reviewer said, barebones. I don't have a problem with that if it's faithfull to the original release.

Another lazy, bare-bones reissue from UMe. No liner notes, printed inner sleeve, etc. Just LP is just kind of...there.

Still, I guess it's nice to have this available for an affordable price, when an original press can fetch more than $50..

Australian bands have what with Nirvana. First it was Silverchair, though very loud with the sound of the best grunge band of all time got. More than ten years after Nevermind again Australian grabs strap back on the seminal sound of Nirvana. That Highly Evolved is mixed by Andy Wallace Nirvana-mixer makes the connection complete. Unlike Silverchair The Vines are not an exact copy of their great examples, but they enhance their grunge sound with trippy, psychedelic vocal lines. On the impressive Sunshinin they reach a fine balance between these two angles. In the song Factory turn out The Vines even with ska from the feet to be able. Even though the compositional not everywhere equally strong, The Vines make a good first impression with this confident and convincing album.
