Review

Rolling Stone (12/15/94, pp.94-95) - 3.5 Stars - Good - "...When it comes to writing candy-coated pop songs for sex-death-and-Jesus-obsessed-would-be junkies, nobody touches the Chain..."
Spin (11/94, pp.94-95) - Highly Recommended - "...STONED & DETHRONED is the first album since DARKLANDS the Chain has aimed at pot smokers rather than crackheads....They sing, their heads no longer bowed in shame or drug-induced nod-outs, but in earnest piety..."
Entertainment Weekly (9/30/94, p.60) - "...hearken back to the quiet acoustics of their second record DARKLANDS. Here, as usual, they distill rock into catchy power chords and kindergarten rhymes..." - Rating: B+
Q (9/94, p.102) - 3 Stars - Good - "...The all-jinglin', all-janglin' Mary Chain are certainly a more loveable beast..."
Alternative Press (10/94, p.84) - "...may even stand revealed one day as the Chain's most well-rounded effort..."
Option (11-12/94, p.124) - "...The Reid brothers sound as lispy, shimmery and crisp as ever, only this time they are fixated with finding redemption and shaking off addiction...which they convey with a poignant sense of understatement..."
NME (Magazine) (8/13/94, p.44) - 8 - Excellent - "...It could be Iggy Pop's country album or Bob Dylan's Lou Reed tribute. Certainly, the most common point of reference is the Velvets of `Jesus' and `I'm Set Free' melancholia rather than violence..."

All songs written by members of Jesus & Mary Chain.

Since 1985, Glasgow brothers William and Jim Reid (aka The Jesus & Mary Chain) have immersed themselves in a wash of pop references as akin to Lou Reed's TRANSFORMER as to the Beach Boys' earliest singles. While more subdued, and painted in acoustic strokes, Jesus & Mary Chain's newest effort STONED & DETHRONED continues the band's mutation of pop's melodic sense.

STONED & DETHRONED is a step in a new direction for the Reids. Much of their early material seemed like a mixture of conflicting eras, bubblegum harmonies layered on top of impossible distorted guitar. Now with STONED & DETHRONED, The Jesus & Mary Chain have honed their erratic opposing sides into a cleaner, more focused sound.

Relying more on acoustics and softer production, the album sounds aimed at the MTV "Unplugged" audience, but proves the Jesus & Mary Chain adept in the power of quiet as well as the joy of distortion.

Jesus & Mary Chain: Steve Monti, Jim Reid, William Reid, Ben Lurie.

Additional personnel: Hope Sandoval, Shane MacGowan.

Recording information: 1994.
