    Who saw this coming? Not me. The Psych Furs are not only back after mumble-mumble years, they've kept the good and added more good. In a world where some bands come back just to coast, The Butler Brothers are in the rock club one minute, in the jungle the next. Richard B. sings with extra passion, especially in his higher register, like only a day or two has passed since he last took theWho saw this coming? Not me. The Psych Furs are not only back after mumble-mumble years, they've kept the good and added more good. In a world where some bands come back just to coast, The Butler Brothers are in the rock club one minute, in the jungle the next. Richard B. sings with extra passion, especially in his higher register, like only a day or two has passed since he last took the mic, and guitarist Rich Good is the master of atmosphere on this one - guitars weave into the bedrock one minute, slice and shine a moment later. A newly-shown penchant for syncopation, dynamic range expansion, and density of sound open a whole new artistic level for the band, floating like butterflies and stinging like bees. Hell, it took two days to get past the third song, the soul documentary that is "You'll Be Mine". The eventual progression to the rest of the set revealed even more spellbinding tracks that were worth waiting for. Headphone listens are rewarded, but this would sound great through nearly any system you have. How refreshing to see a band with such a history refusing to rest on it.… Expand

    Unburdened by nostalgia, accepting the world as is while avoiding complacency, Made of Rain isn’t a comeback—it’s a new road.

    Minor issues aside, Made of Rain is a fine and sometimes inspired comeback. It may not be Talk Talk Talk, Pt. 2 or Forever Now again, but it proves the Furs still have plenty of life left in them, and it's always nice to hear Richard Butler's voice no matter what the setting.

    Made of Rain manages to be both vaguely nostalgic and groundbreaking at the same time. There are no obvious rewrites of their old songs here, but between Butler’s easily identifiable vocals – vacillating between anger and vulnerability – and the curiously heady mix of hard rock guitars alongside sax, the sound is still clearly built on the classic foundations of the band.
