The Trees` second album is so similar to the debut (The Garden of Jane Delawney) that it`s difficult to recommend one above the other. If you like one, you`ll like the other; if you want only the best stuff in this style, you`ll stick to Fairport Convention and maybe Steeleye Span without digging this deep. It`s more assertive, harder-rocking, and fuller-sounding than the debut, but the principal flaws of overlong songs and patchy original material remain. The taut and dramatic original "Murdoch" is the highlight, rivaling the first album`s "The Garden of Jane Delawney" as their best track. [In 2007, Sony reissued a remastered version of On the Shore with a bonus disc of previously unreleased tracks.] ~ Richie Unterberger
