Review by Luke Dicken

The album Flesh Impact by Common Language is a stunning work of art that showcases the band's unique style and musical prowess. From start to finish, the album takes the listener on a journey through a diverse range of musical genres, including rock, metal, and electronic.

The album kicks off with the hauntingly beautiful track "Lost in Translation," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's signature sound is characterized by heavy guitar riffs, intricate drumming, and soaring vocals that blend seamlessly together to create a powerful and unforgettable listening experience.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Echoes of the Past," which features an infectious chorus and an electrifying guitar solo, and "Flesh Impact," which showcases the band's ability to seamlessly blend electronic and rock elements to create a truly unique sound.

About Common Language

Common Language was an alternative rock/ethereal goth band from Seattle, WA. The band name is based on the poem "Dream of a Common Language" by Adrienne Rich. Common Language was formed in 1989 by Charlene Easter (vocals, bass), Gretchen Wenner (guitar), and Mary Lake (guitar). In the same year, they debuted with the 3-track single Urge to Forget. The title song contains a German translation and a "reverse speech" version of Adrienne Rich's poem "Dream of a Common Language". In 1990, the band released their first album Scar on Lisa Orth's Big Flaming Ego label (distributed by Sub Pop). The music was characterized by the UW Daily as If Sonic Youth and Cocteau Twins borrowed Big Black's drum machine they might come out with a sloppier-sounding version of Common Language. A perfect highwire act between ethereal art & grating distortion. In 1991, they signed to Blast First London, a sublabel of Mute Records. Their second album Flesh Impact was published in 1993.
