True enough. The one song I've heard from them without sax was absolute dullsville. It's nice to hear a band without a lead guitar or synth, for a change. If you don't like saxes then you'll not get on with Morphine, for sure, but personally I love the blarting, rasping baritone sax :o) |

| Sloggydog (UK) | Posted: Feb 22, 2010 - 08:44 A lot of complaints i can't get out there. I'm a proper morphine addict these days. Just gotta get a fix from time to time. I think its fine to have just one sound if its your sound. Other notable examples to back this up include the smiths, the cure, smashing pumpkins and i could go on but really feel the point is made. |

| discursive | Posted: Dec 26, 2007 - 18:17 Strangely, Morphine gives me a headache. |

| chyk5 | Posted: Oct 09, 2007 - 07:47 Nice to hear this band. Would be great to hear what Mark would be coming up with now were he alive. You're missed Mark! |

 Seems like Morphine is a like it/hate it kind of band. I happen to like it. Fortunately, it looks like most of us do too. Anyway, it's undeniable that they had a very distinctive sound. It's too bad that I only ever hear it on RP. |

I liked it. Gave it a 7.  Would like to hear Let's Take a Trip Together. |

| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Jun 21, 2007 - 05:55 That's some serious baritone sax honking! Sure wakes you up. 7 from the Nottingham jury. |

| ick | Posted: Apr 19, 2007 - 09:11 Ahhhhh... sliding on down with Morphine. Minimalist and deconstructed... 2 string bass played with a slide... the honking of the sax... takes me a different place. You are missed Mark Sandman.  |

I agree with you, I hated the sax at first ... and still do. |

Just the singer guy is gone forever. The rest of them are in a band called Twinemen. They played outside here last summer at a little bar and they were fabulous. Check out twinemen.com |

| tesserakt (Vancouver) | Posted: Apr 03, 2007 - 15:39 Rock music that incorporates saxophone is just unbearable. I agree with a previous comment - a one gives this song too much credit! |

| ulibcn (Barcelona Spain) | Posted: Dec 19, 2006 - 04:31 yeah,pretty dumb, isn't it? the sax sounds like someone taking classes being drunk |
| ObsidianInfinity (Delaware) | Posted: Dec 04, 2006 - 14:44 I wish I could rate this a zero. A one gives it too much credit. |
