Great album

It's hard to say anything bad about Blue Sky Mining because it's such a great album, and it is at the peak (in my opinion) of the Midnight Oil album history.

The band took the advances made on Diesel and Dust (improved focus and songwriting) and took them a step further. Every song on Blue Sky Mining is good. There's a good balance between heavy songs and more reflective songs, and a good mix of instruments and moods.

This is by far their best album in my opinion.

Midnight Oil - A Continuing Success

Having become a listener of Midnight Oil most recently after listening to 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 (Midnight's Debut Album) I decided to get some more CD's from this band. Peter Garrett again excels himself in vocals. All Midnight Oil's songs seem to spring from their beliefs whether political or social. Whilst not 100% agreeing with what they have to say in their songs, I must say it is appealing and refreshing to have a band sing from their heart.



Blue Sky Mining, the first track is easily one of Midnight Oil's best of the best. It was based on a event that happened in Australia some time ago, and by remembering the event in a song format, I suppose Peter and his group is hoping that listeners won't forget lightly. Other songs to listen to that I found interesting and nice on this album release were Forgotten Years and King of the Mountain.



ALl in all, Blue Sky Mining, the CD is a strong follow up on this band's previous work. Good going Midnight Oil!

The best CD I have ever heard

I hate to overdue superlatives, but of the thousand-or-so CD's I have ever owned, this is the best I have ever heard. I'm not an all-star reviewer and won't give you a track-by-track rundown, but if you haven't heard this CD, you owe it a listen. This is Midnight Oil at their best.
