Come's music has always been a bit difficult to come to terms with, but it
rewards repeated listens immensely. Nowhere is that more true than on their
fourth album, Gently, Down the Stream. Although it's a lengthy, dark album,
it's arguably their most accessible, since the rage that flowed throughout
Don't Ask Don't Tell and Near Life Experience has turned into a resigned
bitterness, and that means there aren't as many all-out sonic assaults.
Instead, the guitars intertwine perfectly, creating cathartic, sometimes
atonal, sometimes bluesy sheets of sound. Similarly, the individual songs
of Thalia Zedek and Chris Brokaw are woven together seamlessly throughout
the album, making this Come's most band-oriented effort to date. It's not
as immediately bracing as Don't Ask Don't Tell, but it's worth the extra
effort to deal with Come's ambitious, difficult music.
