Echo & The Bunnymen Flowers

3.5 stars out of 5 - "...McCulloch's in fine voice, and wonderfully 'louche'....proving that Echo's crystal days haven't shattered yet..."
3 stars out of 5 - "...From the opening line McCulloch is still in love with the idea of being a poet in the demi-monde....Every track is festooned with backwards guitar..."
8 out of 10 - "...Rooted in chiming and growling guitar licks, the dense layers of each songs are revealed only through multiple listens...yielding unexpected pleasures..."
"...Life-affirming....among their best..."
"...Stripped down and sporting a welcome ruggedness...thier dark pop with an ironic silver lining still burns brightly....the bloom has not fallen off these black flowers..."
"...A fine bunch of songs..."
7 out of 10 - "...FLOWERS adds a little Beatlesome jangle and some comfortable footwear to the Bunny blueprint laid out in OCEAN RUIN in 1984..."
