'Push', the album's lead single has been absolutely crushed by Canadian radio, which is sad because it is truly a dark and emotional song. 'Believe Me' is another single from the album, which deals with suicide. The haunting keys and simple, yet heartfelt guitar solo elevate this song to another level. The album's title track, 'Silver' is a slow grief stricken song and 'Freaky Be Beautiful' kicks things into high gear, featuring a really great piano solo. 'Into Everything' is a desparate song featuring some sombre piano and a tormented guitar solo and 'Machine Punch Through' is a dark and rousing song that just keeps building and building. 'Low Low Low' is another great slow, depressing song that is a great album closer.

All of the songs on this CD are excellent songs. They are presented with such emotion, sorrow and even self loathing at times that you think some therapy is in order.


Moist's best and most haunting CD   August 3, 2004

Silver is an amazing CD that incorporates David Usher's scream-and-whisper vocals with a guitar and piano driven sound that's not often heard these days. The lyrics are excellent and heartfelt with a sadness that accompanies Usher's voice nicely. I first heard of Moist through the TV show Due South, where two of their songs were used during the show's run. I greatly enjoy music by Canadian bands, and Moist is definitely among my favorites.

I had never heard of Moist when a radio D.J. gave me a free copy of "Silver" at a promotion of some kind. When I listened to it the first time I was surprised at how good it was. That was about seven years ago and it has been in heavy rotation since. I have never heard anything that sounds like Moist. Some songs are more heavy rock, while a few are slower piano oriented ones. There's not a bad song in the lot. And there is something here for most anyone. Alternative rock, classic rock, whatever. This album just rocks. If you find a copy, check it out. You are sure to be delighted.

If you are new to Moist. This is the place to start.
Most of the songs on this CD are instant hit singles.
And you can see their early brilliance for creating some
really memorable hooks.

Excellent stuff. Great CD.

From here go directly to Mercedes Five and Dime and Creatures which
are more mature and resonant of what makes them unique in this genre.
