a tale of two halves..........2005-10-12
in classic britpop mode, gene released a pretty decent debut album in 'olympian' then absolutely smashed it with their second release, 'drawn to the deep end.' martin morrissey, er, rossiter finally stopped invoking the mozzer mystique in favor of his own vocal styling. the results are more than satisfying. rozzer has a very nice voice. steve mason, for his part, was always an underrated guitarist. it's too bad because he lays down some serious riffage on 'drawn to the deep end.'
the first half of the album is hit after hit after hit. 'drawn...' is a much more complex album than it's predecessor, relying more on tempo shifts, trickier arrangements, and a bit more rawkish sound. the albums to stand out tracks, 'where are they now?' and the outstanding 'we could be kings' show just how much the lads had learned and grown while writing and recording their second album. the second half of the album isn't nearly as interesting as the first (except for 'the accidental'), but the first half of the album provides the listener with more than enough sophisticated ear candy to warrant the purchase.
sadly gene never reached the fame reached by oasis, blur, the verve and others. and sadly they disappeared without so much as a blip on the radar. for those of you who missed gene the first time around, their first two albums are worthy additions to the britpop canon.
a great rock record.......2005-10-10
this record is dense with melody, full of twists and turns, and full of some really rocking songs! a very very solid follow up to the wonderful Olympian debut! kind of like Morrissey with bigger balls.
Yet another masterpiece! Gene is utterly underrated!.......2003-01-26
If you liked 'Olympian', you'll love this! A lot more strings, production, etc. Still, their more 'layered' sound works great here, and the impassioned vocals and deft instrumental work proves 'Gene' is an original band to be taken seriously. Sonically, this is a winner as well... great recording, great mastering! Play this through high-end speakers like Magneplanars or Electrostatics for a spine-tingling sensation!
Gene do it again!!!.......2002-08-19
I just love this band, I got into them right at the beginning and have snapped up everything they have done since. I really think they have something for everyone from rocky smash-the-room-up numbers to beautiful haunting ballads and this album is no exception. Why aren't they more popular? Search me?! Everyone I know who has listen to them has become an addict. BUY THIS NOW!!!!!
Gene's Disintegration.......2001-02-22
With the crushed romanticism and emotional bleakness Drawn to the deep end recalls The Cure's Disintegration (*****) and with its strings and inevitable melodrama Suede's Dog Man Star (*****) will also come to mind. The fact that it bears close comparison to these albums is an indicator of the masterpiece that Gene have produced. A quite beautiful record.

Customer Reviews:
Fantastic music from Gene........2000-03-10
There simply aren't enough superlatives to describe "Drawn to the Deep End." If you liked "Olympian," you should definitely look into this CD. If you like the romantic, lovelorn side of the Smiths, then you, too, should definitely look into this CD. Nearly every song is an ode to love, without falling into the trap of becoming campy or cheesy. This CD is less cohesive than "Olympian," but also more mature and compelling. I have fallen in love with "We Could Be Kings," "Save Me, I'm Yours," and "Where Are They Now?" in the same way I adore "London, Can You Wait," "Olympian," and "Be My Light, Be My Guide." This excellent CD proves that Gene are the artists that we fans had hoped they were since "Olympian." Make no mistake: "Olympian" and "Drawn to the Deep End" are two very different albums. They are divergent and fantastic in their own ways.
