Kerrang (20/05/06, p.49) - 5 (out of 5) - "Thunderous and beautiful in equal measure, this is the sound of falling in slow motion."|
Rovi
Issued in the spring of 2006, the SILVER EP marked a considerable shift in Jesu's sound, with singer/guitarist Justin Broadrick (Godflesh, Napalm Death) imbuing his often dirge-like guitar-laden aesthetic with both an atmospheric shoegazer mood and a striking shot of melody. Though far from mainstream, the four-song outing is disarmingly accessible for the avant-garde-leaning U.K. artist, as best evinced by the majestic title anthem and the driving, almost-danceable "Star". This release not only introduced Jesu to a wider audience, it kicked off an impressively prolific run for Broadrick, which included the lauded CONQUEROR album and its companion LIFELINE EP.|
