Customer Reviews

Jesus Jones Casts Doubt on new Rock-n-Roll Sound
Jesus Jones has gone almost purely rock-and-roll on this album, but unfortunately have performed terribly. On past albums like "Perverse" and "Doubt," the offered us an artistic, melodic rock and roll sound also, but intertwined with cool sound effects and often danceability. This album just doesn't "rock" at all -- It sounds like weak pretty-boy rock. Previously, their work had an artistic appeal that made them unique among the bands, but these songs don't compare. There best album is definitely "Perverse," so this album is not for those new to Jesus Jones. This album is not recommened.

Second great record in a row !
The last JJ album 'Already' was fantastic but sadly hardly anyone bought it ( I'm not even sure if it was released in the USA).'London' is equally good but also a little different.'Already' was a poppy commercial record by JJ standards, 'London' has had a lot of the electronic elements in the bands music stripped away, they are still there but they have definitely gone for a rockier sound this time.Having said that, this is not a straight forward rock record, a couple of the tracks have rhythm tracks that are heavily influenced by the drum and bass/garage sound that has been going on in England over the last couple of years. One thing that really stands out on 'London' as some other reviewers have mentioned, is Mike Edwards voice, his voice is in really good form .Please go buy a copy for everyone you know ( even your Gran ! ) and help to prove there is some justice in the world !!

Rock n' roll? Holy Jesus H.Jones
I am biased. I love this band and wait impatiently for thier records. That said, London is a non traditional album by Jesus Jones. The singer, Mike Edwards, is in true form but much of the techno wizardry has been srtipped away. Not to say that samples are all gone but the guitars peer through the mix much more clearly. The sounds of live drums also show the garage rock sound that jesus jones opposed durring thier early ninties success. LONDON IS A KEEPER. BUY THIS RECORD.
