This is one of the best Cd’s Freeland has dropped to date. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Freeland on ‘We Want Your Soul’. Now and Them isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. Freeland is one of my favourite bands of all time.
One of the songs that always stick in my mind is Mind Killer because the melody in the chorus is so good. As always, Freeland’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. I loved Big Wednesday the first time I heard it. Heel ‘n’ Toe is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through Now and Them. Physical World is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Supernatural Thing is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Now and Them have ended. Although Reality 3D is very melodic it is far from sad. L.I.F.E. is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace my stereo. Some call Nowism from Now and Them as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen.
