MYSSOURI PRESS:
"There must be something wrong with the musical labels if such a band as Myssouri has to release its albums by itself. Wonderful music! Heat and fire in every riff, and that warm voice. Devilish, hot and powerful post-punk blues, dark rock'n'roll and those touching melodies. I thought that only Australians (early Nick Cave's recordings, Hugo Race, Kim Salmon) and maybe, to mention Americans, Jeffrey Lee Pierce and his Gun Club, play blues that way. Till now. Now I know that Myssouri, originated from Atlanta in Georgia, is as good as all those listed above. Amazing sounds, fantastic arrangement, emotional, often narcotic-trans music. You can find here echoes of The Doors -it's Michael Bradley's natural timbre; here is altcountry/folk climate (see 16 Horsepower). I can't find words to tell you more. Is it enough if I say: perfect music, perfect album, delightful band. Absolutely killer!"--Tomek, Poland//Furia Muisca and Perun
"The blues motif disintegrates into a country chug around which Goth vocals style entwine, then rasp in explosive ferment, showering dust and rust over a glorious commercial potential. For all their diligence in not shying away from a hugely literate enterprise there is no pomposity here, not when they have such musical power to unload. Strongly delineated, regardless of the surging noise, they nail you time and time again....Absorbing and
challenging throughout, I love this album. It is quite magnificent."--MickMercer (http://www.starvox.net/cdr/myssouri.htm)--click here for the entire review)
London (James) - "It seems that what makes Myssouri such an exceptional band in the first place is being simply a rock group but to them no longer appears to be enough,
they now had to prove they are serious experimentalists as well. "War/Love Blues" is a serious album and Myssouri
show a pared-down emotional rawness, are more dark and gothic than other rock bands, however they can be both commercially and critically successful."--James//Panartist.com
"A thunderous, punk-injected Spaghetti Western dirge style that draws comparisons to everyone from Nick Cave to 16 Horsepower to Leonard Cohen...the most compelling and confrontational recording to date."--Chad Radford, Creative Loafing

"With its tequila delirium and desert-ripened dread, War/Love Blues is
the closest Myssouri have come to Gun Club territory, so naturally I think it's their best album yet."--Jeff Clark, Stomp and Stammer
"One of Atlanta's most intriguing bands...Dark, expansive rock..."--Shane Harrison, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"With comparisons to Nick Cave, The Swans, Howe Gelb, and The Gun Club, you might not expect a band like Myssouri to come from Atlanta. However, they have been a mainstay in the city for years and their newest album, 'War/Love Blues' is their best offering yet.--Criminal Records
"...blending everything from moody goth passion to country and blues-inspired hellhound-on-my-trail nightmares into an effective combination and synthesizing of styles.."---Ned Raggett, ALLMUSIC.com
"Longstanding, ever-evolving local gothic-Americana rockers MYSSOURI brood over the release of their latest CD War/Love Blues...The new record's range--as well as its song and production quality--distinguishes it as the group's strongest yet."--Roni Sarig, Creative Loafing

Excellent
author: JussiGreat music !! Very unique sound.
It's music by which to read Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series.
author: SteveIt's music by which to read Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series. "Orphan Song" is an excellent track, almost worth buying the album for alone. The rest of the album isn't as catchy as their EP was but War/Love Blues is nevertheless very rewarding, even if it takes a couple listens to truly get into.
Even better than the already-great EP
author: Dan SwensenI first got hooked on Myssouri from their excellent EP, "Furnace Songs," and thought that would be a tough act to top. Well, War / Love Blues tops it. What a great album. Moody, passionate, and well-crafted. "Orphan Song," one of the best songs I've heard this year, alone makes it worth the price of admission. Highly recommended.
dark & foreboding but I like it
author: JohnMusically this CD is very good. Lyrically and vocally its maybe a 6 out of 10. When I listen to it, I can hear bits of Bauhaus, Joy Division and some very early 70's Pink Floyd. All in all, I would rate this an 8 out of 10.
album is good but repetitive
author: nick amendolathis cd is good, let's not skirt the issue. what my problem with it is that the riffs aren't necessarily the most original of the lot. bu that's beside the point. if you like lotsa soloing and country western you'll dig this hardcore.
I recommend
author: TeroWhat a great collection of diamonds! The album is full of dark and spooky songs, but I think there's a hope too. It's only under the surface. The playing is very high-sounding and Michael Bradley have a powerful voice. I did a big favor to myself when I bought War/Love Blues.
beautifully decadent music
author: Patriciathis is the kind of music that appeals to desolate souls desperately looking for some kind of meaning to life. the melodies in this cd are haunting, the lyrics are poignant and deep and Michael Bradley's voice is to die for. the world needs to listen to Myssouri. a wonderful piece of work!
