Porcupine REMASTERED

2003 digitally remastered reissue with 7 extra bonustracks. The group's third album is a solid outing, a more mysterious approach to music than its predecessor, Heaven Up Here. The songs are intriguing and elaborate, often featuring swooping, howling melodic lines. The Cutter is a remarkable song as so is another of this albums singles The Back of Love. With the possible exception of The Cutter and The Back of Love, the entire album best works as a whole; not as a concept album but a collection of songs that are as an album, the Bunnymen`s best. The dark mood of the title track Porcupine is possibly one of the Bunnymen`s greatest ever moments. The whole album is an emotional rollercoaster ride, managing to be both dark and uplifting. Ripeness and Gods Will Be Gods are other highlights. In Bluer Skies, acts as a message of hope.
