Come has without a doubt made some of the most compelling guitar rock of the '90s. Cementing their legendary status in the indie rock world, the band has always pushed against limitations, playing music that has championed uncertain rhythms, unconventional guitar flourishes, and a beautifully abrasive sound. Set in motion by the distinctive voice of Thalia Zedek along with guitarist Chris Brokaw, the band sets off to explore uncharted sonic terrain on Gently Down the Stream. "Stomp" is quintessential Come with its jerky guitar urgency. "Sorry Too Late" is an emotional powerhouse, with Zedek's raspiness perfectly wedded to the song's blues tinge. "Saints Around My Neck" proves the band is a master of dynamics. Come's compositions may take some time to digest, but once you do, you can't help but come back for more. --Steve Gdula --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Brooding, guitar-imploding psychedelia from raw-throated androgyne Thalia Zedek and partner Chris Brokaw gently boasts plenty of prickly beauty and tortured grandeur, and when the guitars engage, it's a thrilling thing. . . . When they don't, it's not. . . . But their average is pretty good. . . . --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
