Review #5: Midway Still - Better Than Before EP

Year: 1992

Genre: Alternative Rock
Label: Roughneck Records
Tracks: 4
My Rating: 6/8

Midway Still was alternative rock trio from Kent, England. Formed in the early 90's, but never got a big commercial success as so many alternative rock groups did.

1. Better Than Before
Sounds a bit like Dinosaur Jr. I like the sound though. "I don't care about it, and i don't cry about it, i just die". They made a music video for this song

2. In Front Of You
Cool riff, they sound bit different to most of the early 90's bands. The most close they get is proboably Dinosaur Jr as i mentioned before and Catherine Wheel... but this sounds more punker.
The chorus is the best part of the song. Wish i knew the lyrics.

3. I Won't Try (Lazy Version)
A slow version of I Won't Try. Really catchy, good solo. Shame this didn't come as known as the song had deserved. Sounds perfect for a movie. The original version of this song was made into a music vid aswell.

4. What You Said (Shimmyglitter Mix)
I haven't heard other versions of this song so i can't compare them to eachother. But i like this too. Starts with a drum beat which ends suddenly, that happens like 3 times then the song kicks in. The lyrics are pretty deep, emotional, confusing. Another catchy song by this forgotten band

This album was quite a surprise, after hearing just few songs from them before. Good stuff.
