Search - Kieran Kane :: Six Months No Sun

A modest masterpiece

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Kieran Kane doesn't need big words and an impressive instrumental environment. Six months no sun comes to you almost with an apology, 'sorry to disturb you, but I thought maybe you would like to hear me'. But make no mistake. It's a powerful piece of work, from someone who has to say something. At first you say: 'nice', but almost without realizing it you play it over and over again. I reckon it will shine for months and months."

A dull album from an artist capable of better things

"This album was a major disappointment for me after hearing the superior "Dead Reckoning," Kane's previous album. Other than the witty "You're Just Taking Up Space," there are no songs here up to the level of the previous album. Perhaps the worst track is the utterly pointless cover of "Its a Wonderful World," a strong indication that Kane ran out of musical ideas at some point. Skip this album and go with "Dead Reckoning" instead."
