 An Overlooked Masterpiece!!!!! July 9, 2008
Anthony Rodrigues (Chillicothe, Missouri United States)
I know from what I've read,and I've read alot about this band,that Steve Kilbey sort of disowned this record..it was recorded after a long tour and the label wanted another hit..so being pressured they turned out this record.I found this record..not quite really following the band at the time,at a small town WalMart of all places and found absolutely nothing wrong with it from the first spin.Through the years as I have championed this band as one of the GREATS this record,particularly the latter half of it,has grown more haunting and beautiful.Peter Koppes and Marty Wilson-Piper play dazzling,intermingling and transcendental guitar while Steve Kilbey's vocals ebb in and out of the cosmic storm.It is by no means a bad record..it is perhaps they're accidental masterpiece!!!
An neglected gem May 17, 2008

This is one of my favorite CDs by The Church. While not as well-known as Starfish, it has many excellent songs on it, some of which contain considerable beauty as well as catchy energy, as is characteristic for this fine band. I measure how good a CD is by how I feel when I am listening to it. When I listen to the songs on this CD, it always puts me in a good mood. I won't belabor my favorite songs. Each listener will form his own opinion about that, but please do check out this CD. It can be addictive.
Two disc deluxe edition of band's classic album 4 star album, 3 star transfer May 17, 2007

"Under the Milky Way" finally broke The Church to a larger audience in the United States and their follow up album "Gold Afternoon Fix" certainly lives up to the promise of their "breakthrough" album. From the menacing opening notes of "Pharaoh" with its use of feedback and other sound effects to the catchy Metropolis" the album is a winner. This two edition deluxe edition offers a second disc of material that was released on various EPs around the time of this album and acoustic versions of two strong tracks the glorious "Metropolis" and moody album closer "Grind".
The album has been remastered louder than the previous edition. It sounds good when compared to the original release but it seems the dynamic range is squashed a bit. The second disc, though, is worth the price of admission as it features a number of EP sides released to accompany the singles. I do wish that there were song lyrics but I suppose we can't have everything.
The second disc is the only reason to pick this up. The second disc is an album length with the following CD/EP extra tracks all in one spot:
1. Much Too Much
2. Take It Back
3. Desert
4. Forgotten Reign
5. Hunter
6. Dream
7. Ride into the Sunset
8. You Got Off Light
9. The Feast
10. Metropolis (Acoustic)
11. Grind (Acoustic)
The only real reason to get this is the second disc. The original release although not quite as loud sounds pretty good.
Great Album December 22, 2005

I'm not currently sleeping with the band,
so I will refrain from getting involved in
the band's personal lives.
In regard to the album, it is a Church Classic;
With tunes such as Metropolis, Terra Nova Cain, and
Your Still Beautiful. -Pack a bowl and play-

this is a good cd by The Church. but compared to their other releases, this one suffers in some ways. for one thing, there are just too many songs on here to really get a complete grasp of the album. by the time you get to the 8th track, you feel like you're hearing the same song a few times. a bit more quality control would have greatly benefited this album. the cover also is...(unintentionally) funny. but there are some really really good songs on here. the first song "Pharoah" is classic Church with haunting melodies and great guitar work. "Grind" and "You're Still Beautiful" retain that sharp edge with good songwriting. but overall...this should probably be bought from the "used" bin at your record store, if you can find it.
