# GORKY 5

## the definitive review

The Tidal Wave
Turn it off. It's disgusting. I don't like the music. I do like his voice but I just don't like the tune of it. I do like the song. Can we listen to Star Man now please? 3/10, Felix, age 5, the bat that doesn't have the brain of a person
Dyle Fi
This is a song to listen to when you are feeling romantic. It feels good to hear a bloke singing words like he does in the song, 6/10, Bethan, age 20, Basqulat's mistress
Let's Get Together (in our minds)
See issue one for a full run down. If you haven't got this it can be obtained from the usual address, but is ~l.50 I'm afraid not a quid, although you don't need to send stamps.
Tsunami
This sounds like the Kinks slowed down and it also reminds me of the Super Furry Animals, not really my thing, but it's music I suppose, 4/10, Chris, age 17, dole packet
Not Yet
It's boring. No matter how much you say you like them, no matter how many times you say I should like them they are boring. The song is boring with nauseating whiny bits. I don't like it. It's crap so there, 1/10, Eli, age 18, wanna be Blue Peter presenter and James Dean Bradfield's wife
Only The Sea Makes Sense
I like the layers of the song. It conjures up images of being stuck in suburban small town hell. I would be interested to hear the song without the vocals because my favourite part is the violin, 7/10, Luke, age 20, snowball and milkshake taster

Softly
This song is like waking up out of a nightmare into glorious sunshine and realising everything is alright. Reminds me a bit of Radiohead and Derek and The Dominoes- same guitar licks. It's quite gentle. I don't like the bloody organ though, they should drop it, way too overpowering, but apart from that I realy liked it, 6/10, James, age 26 (thank you very much), pencil sharpener for ICI

Frozen Smile
A mellow, short song, but pleasurable to listen to. Would not recommend it if you're feeling shit. Sad and depressing. He definitely makes his point clear, 6/10, Ermelinda, age 22, successful prostitute

Sweet Johnny
Classic Corkv's- beautiful , melodic, very Welsh. Humming along, swaying a bit then the horrible crashy bit which was so unnecessary, and slightly immature musically as the words speak for themselves, 7/10, Ko, age 33, journalist
Theme From Gorky 5
Imagine chasing Ivor the engine down dark scary tunnels, and when you catch up he tells you 'singingly' about foreign confectionery and wizards. An alarming, yet not entirely dangerous track that excites to a point and draws out with a 'post- brawl' reflection on itself. If you've ever had sex with anyone with more that their share of limbs and thought hard about it afterwards then this song understands; frenetic, different, and wild- tired, reflective and more regretful of it's actions, 7/10, Jules, age 21, freak shagger extradordinaire

Hush The warmth
I like it, but it's the kind of song that could push you over the edge. The human understanding sounds would do it. The melody always sounds as if it's searching, but it's inevitable that it won't hush the warmth- nice word colouring, 8/10, Esther, age 21, singer, worshipper of Betty Page and 50s stripper
Catrin
This song reminds me of sunny evenings sitting in the garden with a bottle of wine just chilling out and waiting to party, 8/10, James, age 19, wine taster
So there you have it.
