Silence

Gomez

Edit

Although this was probably one of the least creative and cohesive eras during the Gomez Virgin/Hut years, there are still some solid B-Sides from the Split The Difference sessions. Some of these tunes actually go back prior to STD, but for whatever reason never made the cut, even as B-sides. That says a lot for where the boys were during this time. They had even contemplated calling it quits.

I'm so glad they didn't.

You can hear the angst and self-doubt in a number of their songs, including the B-side to this single, Blind.

If nothing else, it's worth the $2 it'll cost to buy it used. You'll enjoy it, if for nothing else than the opposing covers of the companion single.

Firstly the tracklist for this single does not match up with the cover art picture shown for the listing, the same goes for the part 2 single listed on amazon.

So if your buying this cd based on this cover you are getting the 3 track single + video.

In regards to the tracks listed for this item (Silence and Blind), they are fairly uninspired songs with a very 'going through the motions' sound rather than the usual quirkey, emotional or uplifting numbers. One for the completist (i.e. myself!). Both songs are also found on five men in a Hut so you can save yourself some coin and just get that.
