Hence the omnipresent My Bloody Valentine comparisons -- both bands have found that by "burying" the primary melodies under waves of sound, they can create something more subtle and more moving than the average pop song. Shot Forth Self Living does this better than The Buried Life, Medicine's other notable album; the sound is deeper and beefier on the former, and (with a couple exceptions), the songwriting is more abstract and involving. The Buried Life had the band penning pop songs and flooding them with sound -- Shot Forth Self Living has them actually working their sound into the songs themselves. ~ Nitsuh Abebe Professional Reviews: Entertainment Weekly (2/5/93, p.54) - "...Medicine deploys guitar feedback and humming vocals to create melodies as catchy as they are eerie...surges with humor and passion..." - Rating: B+ Alternative Press (1/93, p.65) - "...Anyone who regards Simon Reynolds' book BLISSED OUT as his/her bible should be extremely excited about the arrival of this galvanic California group...Medicine's sound is disorienting, otherworldly...an aural supernova..." Option (Jan/Feb 93, p.102) - "...the songs here are pure fluff from start to finish....with its bright simple melodies and shamelessly cluttered production, [SHOT FORTH SELF LIVING] is a damn fine pop recording..." Q (Magazine) (p.118) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]hat touch of steel-capped, hammer-wielding menace allows Medicine to mould their molten dream-pop into intriguingly twisted shapes." NME (Magazine) (10/10/92, p.40) - 8 - Very Good - "...What at first sounds like Americans with too much free time on their hands soon evolves into a startlingly open-minded and enriching panorama of soundgames and rock & roll graffiti..."
