Ash – Is The End Of The World – 10th September
I believe it was Albert Einstein that said “Space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away into mere shadows”. Within the context of this review Space = Ash and Time = Good Singles and if I were to produce some kind of visual graph to represent when these two met at a cross junction of ‘time’ the Y axis would read ‘now’. This is dull. In my youth I was a fan of Ash, I genuinely was, and even past my youth into my manhood I still bought there records. I believe there are some great tracks on 1994’s ‘Meltdown’ album; the uncharacteristically heavy ‘Clones’ and the summer anthem that was ‘Orpheus’ being 2 personal highlights but ever since they lost Charlotte Hatherly Ash have simply been weak. I hate to use such an obvious statement but regardless: End of the world? More like end of a once great band.
