Reviews Customer Reviews for Like Cats And Dogs      A gorgeous, textured, incandescent work of art...      Rating:      I love all of Catherine Wheel's records. I am at present collecting all the B-sides not appearing on this record because quite frankly the songs collected here are amongst the best, if not the very best work that this extremely talented and much neglected band ever accomplished. Rob's vocals on this record are just as breathy and wistful as on the wonderful 'Ferment' and just as powerful and dynamic as on 'Happy Days'; The impression I get here is that 'LCAD' is a collection of songs written by a band in a more experimental, free-flowing mood. This mood works and in my opinion works better than much if not everything else I have ever heard in shoegaze or any other genre. I must admit that a few of the slow burners here took me longer to appreciate but I think that that was just because I was younger and less advanced with my musical tastes. A perfect album to listen to in the rusty haze of autumn or on a long road trip at night; Let the washes of feedback and lighter touches of Brian Futtter's guitar draw you into this simply amazing collection of songs by a truly great band. Enjoy...     Customer Reviews for Like Cats And Dogs Cd      Not really a "B-sides" album at all      Rating:      Maybe when I hear what purports to be a "B-sides" album, my expectations are lowered, but I truly enjoy "Like Cats and Dogs," quite a bit more, in fact, than Catherine Wheel's uneven prior album, "Happy Days." The only portions of "Like Cats and Dogs" that have a "B-sides" feel to me are the beginning, namely, Heal 2 (wasn't Heal 1 enough?) and a decent cover of "Wish You Were Here" (with the clever inclusion of a harmonica); as well as the "hidden track" at the end (which consists of three harder rockers, including a faithful rousing cover of Rush's "Spirit of Radio"). Everything in between holds up as a full-blown original studio album which, for the most part, shows off the quiter side of CW. Standouts for me are "Mouthful of Air" and "Saccharine." My favorite song on the album is "Harder than I am," which might have fit nicely into either "Happy Days," or CW's subsequent album, "Adam and Eve," where it would have been perfectly placed after the incredible song "Broken Nose." For all you CW fans, "Like Cats and Dogs" isn't a mere curiousity, but an indispensible part of your CD collection.
