Spiritualized - Medication
Review by Sandro Varela
Spiritualized's album Medication is a stunning and emotional journey through the depths of the human experience. The band's unique blend of rock, gospel, and psychedelic influences is on full display here, creating a sound that is both familiar and entirely its own.
From the opening track, "Medication," the listener is drawn into a world of pain and struggle, as frontman Jason Pierce's haunting vocals and powerful lyrics explore themes of addiction, depression, and heartbreak. The album's standout tracks, such as "The Slide Song" and "Broken Heart," showcase the band's incredible musicianship and ability to create lush, atmospheric soundscapes that perfectly complement Pierce's soulful vocals.
Despite the heavy subject matter, Medication is ultimately a hopeful album, with songs like "I Think I'm in Love" and "Won't Get to Heaven (The State I'm In)" offering glimpses of light amidst the darkness. It's a testament to Spiritualized's talent and vision that they can create an album that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
