This review is from: Dead Leaves (Audio CD)
It is a good thing that Amazon has finally managed to make available this collection of songs from Versus -- a crucial addition for any fan. Although culled from B-sides, singles and compilation discs, "Dead Leaves" actually emits the feel of a wholly executed album. From the blistering "Astronaut" which kicks off this collection to the mournful "Crazy", these songs are classic Versus with every single one a winner. Featured here are the usual stellar mix of vocals from Richard and Fontaine which allow songs like "Bright Light", "Sunburned" and "Flax" to approach the sublime. The tightness with which the band plays lends real power to the rockers on the disc and an ethereal beauty to the more melodic offerings. While shades of Sonic Youth surface from time to time, the originality of the Versus "sound" identifies them as far and away one of the best bands currently playing and crafting new music today. An invigorating boost to even the most jaded of music fans, I can't recommend this disc enough.
