* bonus tracks
Expanded reissue of the British band's 1988 album featuring eight bonus tracks. The Mighty Lemon Drops were a Pop group from Wolverhampton, England, featuring guitarist David Newton, who personally picked all bonus tracks for this release. The Mighty Lemon Drops certainly owe the inspiration behind this album to Echo and the Bunnymen. But it is also an album that the Bunnymen were never capable of writing themselves. Somehow, ?World Without End? captures the intensity of ?the Bunnymen sound? in a stripped down, garage-band style. The recordings appear uncluttered and free of gimmicky effects and it is the strength of the songs upon which the album relies. If you could imagine the Bunnymen returning to the studio after ?Ocean Rain?, ridding themselves of the pomp and with a view to capturing the essence of ?Crocodiles?, but in a stripped-down form, you have the essence of ?World Without End?. Their unfocussed, Morrison/Doors obsessed ramblings of the time, prevented the application and clarity that we all desired from them. Even today, Starsailor and Coldplay proudly wear their Bunnymen influences on their sleeves and are often acclaimed for this association, not only by the music press, but even by Mac himself. Surely it is about time to revisit ?World Without End? and celebrate it, not on its influences, but on its own merits. Indeed, a mighty album of its time that has unfortunately been criminally overlooked. Nearly twenty years (!) later it still sounds fresh, while at the same time still being decidingly of the era.
