Between the Dim and the Dark

Product Description
This Charleston, SC based quintet started off playing traditional Irish folk music spiked with a dose of Delta blues. Later, they began writing and performing original material influenced by The Beatles, REM, and Radiohead. While the band is cagey about the sound of their third record, sources have described it as melodic, trancey, and catchy as hell.

Not as good as Vertigo, but still a great album to have in a collection. Tracks 3 and 4 are particularly great!

Back to basics.......2005-07-14

I've been a fan of Jump (formerly Jump, Little Children) and followed them locally prior to their release of Magazine in 1998. Their music before that is undoubtedly the best, but Magazine sacrificed the band's soul for greater popularity. Since then (which many original Jump fans consider the sellout point of their music), the band has been gradually pulling themselves up by the bootstraps. Vertigo was understandably more somber, but reached back to their roots stylistically. This most recent album maintains the more mellow feel of Vertigo, but the music is more upbeat and the songs are some of the most beautiful the band has ever recorded. But I still long for jig-worthy tunes like many of Jump's earliest, including Opium and Easter Parade. That said, Jump is one of the most underrated and impressively talented groups I've ever heard. Whenever a Jump song pops up on my iPod playlist in the car, friends ask "who is this?" With the delicious variations of their style, there's a Jump song for everyone's playlist.

A New Timeless Masterpiece.......2005-06-07

Very few albums in history have accomplished what this does. It's amazing to me that every single song on it is not a #1 smash single. The musicianship world-class, the compositions brilliant and the production quality just what a studio album should be. Jump, Little Children has been billed as a 21st century rock band and this work unequivocally proves it. I haven't heard music this good since the Beatles. I have to to force myself to listen to something else.

I truly believe this work a masterpiece of great music that almost everyone should love.

Consistently Good, Sometimes Great.......2005-01-08

This album is not as great all-the-way-through like Magazine and Vertigo, but it is very good, highlighted by "Dim & the Dark", "Midnight", and "Requiem." Unlike Jump's previous releases, I find myself repeating just those tracks frequently, but I do listen to and enjoy ALL tracks. Best moment - from "Requiem", the sublimely redundant:

It's up to you
for every passing day
to not let the past pass away

Genius.

Don't Be Fooled By New Name.......2004-06-23

It seemed everyone was skeptical about Jump, Little Children's name change. I don't understand why they did it, and frankly I don't like it, but this CD lacks nothing. The same beautiful sound that relaxes you and the same angelic voice that sings you to sleep. I recomend this CD to anyone who liked Jump, Little Children, especially those who liked such songs as Words Of Wisdom, Cathedrals, Close Your Eyes, and Angeldust. Jump dosen't skip a beat.
