Remember...

I was listening to a playlist of Deliverance songs the other day, when the DA cover "Sanctuary" came up.

Beautiful song.



Daniel Amos's version is cool too, and has an entire different vibe to it.

I think I might like Deliverance's post-What A Joke output, come to think of it. I only have River Disturbance, which is pretty good, but I'd like to hear more.

This is one of those bands that I could never get into (and I tried several times).  I've heard all of their stuff except for the last two or three albums and none of it clicks with me.  I am certainly in the minority though as most people seem to love at least a few Deliverance albums.

I like the first three albums. The s/t, I think, is my favourite of those, partly because of the crisp sound quality and partly because of the heaviness. Weapons is a tad more melodic, and the sound wasn't as huge (and btw, I think Rescue should've been the final track on the original pressing). What A Joke wasn't overly well produced, and the joke songs spoil the flow, but the aggression in the lyrics and the music is astounding.

I also have River Disturbance. Not a bad album in the least, but I have to be in the mood for something melancholic. The title track is beautiful, like Sanctuary. Finally, I like the flirting with different time signatures on As Above - So Below, but somehow the album fails to keep my attention. I think I need to listen to it again soon.

Ditto for me (italics mine)

I like through Stay, some of River Disturbance and As Above. Sanctuary is a great cover.

I have most of their discs and love most of it. There are still a few I haven't got.

Wow, I thought I was the only person at this board who didn't care for the band.

Yes, there are TWO crazy people in this world!

 

Count me as one of the crazies!  OK, I love Deliverance, but I can't stand the first three albums.  I didn't like them until "Stay Of Execution" and have bought everything else since.

Nope you don't count because you like at least some of their catalog....sorry just not crazy enough for this group!

According to the hardcore D fans, I am crazy for not liking the first three albums.

but we already knew you were.... so an exception is made....   



still can't figure why you don't like 'em..... j/k

I'm having problems to be a fan of Deliverance too.
Some songs I like, but others not really.
Sometimes you have to listen again to bands you not really like.
I've had I like them more.

Hello.  My name is Xid. (Hi, Xid!)  I've never cared for Deliverance.
