CD ReviewsRelax - its about the music! Paul | Pittsburgh, PA United States | 03/10/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "...The Delgados are truly wonderful composers of music that has many depths and layers. Ironically, they also can sound quite bare. For those who fail to see the connections between, say a Soft Bulletin or a Deserter's songs, might I add that Dave Fridmann produced all three records (buy them all - they're all gggreat or grate as they say in the UK). This Delgado's album is simply a harder edged Bulletin or Mercury Rev album. They are all unique but they share the glorious production of Dave Fridmann. God bless Emma, Alun, Stuart, and Paul and their session musicians for making a remarkable piece of art that will last forever.P.S. Check out their recent album, HATE. It lacks the edge that 'Eastern' has but is beautiful in its own right." The Great Eastern. A great CD. Wickerlove | Canada | 03/02/2004 (3 out of 5 stars) "'The Great Eastern' takes The Delgados sound a step higher from the Pavement-like 'Peloton'. A more polished and smoother production, lush and layered sound, along with orchestral strings, wind instruments and piano. Emma Pollock's vocals has this naive childlike pout about them, charming yet oozes sincerity. The Delgados still retain enough guitar-oomph to satisfy indie fans, yet the arrangements are far more textured, along with this soothing lullaby quality that strings all the songs together. Each track also tends to have these musicbox-type interludes, overall making for an interesting sound. It's not about high's and low's anymore, but about soft colors and subtle shades. This CD is a departure from their earlier gritty guitar sound, but what it lacks in rawness is compensated by grandiosity and songs of comfort. Listening to this album is like peering through a dark tunnel and seeing a light, and finding hope." Highly Recomended thecenturyoffakers | Provo, UT | 03/23/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Few bands are a consistantly brilliant as the Delgados. Forget not releasing a bad album, the Delgados haven't even released a bad song. With the relese of Hate last year, I went through their back catalog and was plesently surprised, especially with this one. Their albums definantly stand the test of time. Their are a lot of great bands from Glasgow (Belle and Sebastian, Mogwai, ect...), but the Delgados are far more consistant than those bands and I find myself listening to "The Great Eastern" far more than "The Boy With the Arab Strap"."
