Special Edition

(4 out of 5 stars)

"1997's Believe was another impressive release from Canadian melodic rockers Harem Scarem. With Believe, the band continued to refine their modern melodic rock sound. Where many melodic rock bands opt for a Journey/Foreigner-based style, Harem Scarem's music has a more modern, radio-friendly sound. Think Goo Goo Dolls or lighter Foo Fighters, only much more consistent and enjoyable.



The Special Edition version of Believe was exclusive to the Japanese market. It contained several remixed versions of tracks on Believe as well as a few bonus b-sides. I don't really have an ear for various mixes, so the remixed songs didn't add much for me. The full band version of "Rain" was a nice touch though. The bonus tracks - "Cages," "The Mirror" and "Surrender" - are good additions as well. "Cages" and "The Mirror" were previously available on the Karma Cleansing EP, but "Surrender" (a spirited cover of the Cheap Trick classic) is exclusive to the Believe Special Edition. Unfortunately the high price and relative scarcity of the Special Edition puts it beyond all but the most dedicated Harem Scarem fans' reach. I got lucky and found a cheap used copy; otherwise I'd never have heard it.



Edition Notes: Wounded Bird reissued Believe (Special Edition) in 2010, making this long out of print CD available and affordable once again. This is good news for Harem Scarem fans.

1. Believe (remix)
