Although they were dismissed as Bush clones upon their unspectacular debut, Cellophane was actually much better than that. Songwriter Shannon Crawford has a great voice, alternating between a shrill screech and a tuneful moan with ease. And the songs have a dark atmosphere that compares to Perfect Circle or Cold filtered through School of Fish. The driving "Here We Lay" kicks things off with a strong blast of catchy mainstream rock, and the superb "Down" continues things in a heavy vein. But moody ballads like "Cut Away" break from the mold, replacing the hoarse wail of other songs with a delicate falsetto. Of course, the heavier songs take up most of the album, but the quieter moments make this debut so memorable.
