Marion This World And Body [180g Translucent Gold Vinyl]

3 Stars - Good - "...Harding, the 20-year-old singer, has a vocal style that embraces the breathey bards of U2 and Suede...[the] guitars sweep satisfyingly from the jangly to the jagged..."
Recommended - "...Think the desperation and opening up of possibilities that...early U2...engendered--the knowledge that certain songs will accompany you around the world....these songs sound...strained, thrashing attempts to make songs as wide and wild as the sky..."
"...His group's got the big guitar chops, but [Jaime] Harding--who pours his heart into every performance--will be the real star to watch in '96..."
7 (out of 10) - "...a desperate attempt to mean something in an age where everyone's soundbite is worse than their bark....In terms of pitch, it's almost absurdly packed with peaks....such rare ambition is accompanied by fierce rock music of the very highest order. Flushed with firebrand rhetoric and furious guitars..."
