 Only good for one song

| I heard their song "Take a Beetle to the Badlands" on one of those streaming music sites, and I tried to get the song from Napster. Napster didn't have it, so I called around for a used copy here in town - no dice. I finally gave in and bought it here, and I was really disappointed with the album. The only decent song there was "Beetle," the rest of it was just a waste of money. |

 A zesty blend of je ne se quoi and the new dawn

Angels Come on Time, a great deal more eclectic than The Slip's independent debut album, From the Gecko (a hair-raising showcase of beautifully underproduced jazz groove at its finest), stands as a powerful testament to the untapped raw energy simmering and flowing miles apart from the mainstream.
The sparse yet poised lyrics relay a sense of delicate wonderment and an earthly sense of Human. The melancholic "Sometimes True to Nothing" rolls into an envigorating chorus and a wildly pleasant mild dissonance. The opening "Landing" and closing "Nellie Jean" are both golden nuggets that allow the listener to really hear the true intricacies of the Slip's tendency towards 'composition' rather than 'songwriting'.
A great live act clearly capable of great studio albums. |

the slip defy contemporary category

| the first thing i said upon listening to this album was "this band is great. you can't lump them into any one category." As indicated by many previous reviews, the jam band scene welcomes the slip as one of their own. i've got no objections to this aside from the fact that the slip transcends these categories, and everyone should recognize this. fron their opening track until the last note, they careen listlessly through each groovin, jazzy track. the guitarist enjoys relaxing and serene jazz riffs throughout the track "sorry." Other key tracks include, but are definatly not limited to, tinderbox, love and tears, six sided, and get me with fuji. the slip are an exquisitely uniqe, dynamic, and multi-faceted group with all the makings of an incredible band, both in the studio and live. listen to the sounds of phish, WP, and string cheese and then come on over to the slip. recognize the difference and, while i have nothing against jam bands and enjoy listening to them from time to time, do not do this incredible group the dishonor of simply lumping them in with the rest. and its not that the slip is way better (but they are;nudgenudge)than these three aforementioned jam bands, it is simply that their music transcends that limited category. also, the slip enjoys socially conscious lyrics from time to time on this album, further distinguishing them from jam bands' lack of meaningful lyrics, and causing me to be further infatuated with their music. peace! |

| Although the Slip are really a live band, this studio excursion is still fantastic. Highlight tracks include Get me with Fuji, Sometimes True to Nothing, Tinderbox and Love and Tears. The whole album is very cohesive while still being representative of The Slip's eclectic nature. As soon as people start embracing music that is truly creative, passionate, dynamic and energetic, The Slip will go multi-platinum. All we can do until then is buy their CDs. I highly recommend "From the Gecko" in addition to this CD. It's still another aspect of The Slip, from another time period, but it's equally fantastic. |

| Musical shamans, their songs detoxify the soul. This album is an excellent studio effort from a band that moves me like no other. Seek out their wholesome live vibrations. |
