It starts off with a muted tribal horn i often blast before the drums beat in with Colin narrating the premise of "the infanta": "Here she comes in her palanquin / on the back of an elephant / on a bed made of linen and sequins and silk / all astride on her father's line / with the king and his concubines / and her nurse with her pitchers of liquors and milk / and we'll all come praise the infanta". The charging literature of the song is finely offset by the quieter, pensive, recharging bridge. The lyrics on "infanta" are the best decemberists lyrics yet (and i love intelligent lyrics), replete with high-point scrabble words like "palanquin", "pachyderm" and "folderol", tied with another picaresque tune, the epic "mariner's revenge song", probably my favorite decemberists songs of all-time. "mariner's" starts in flashback mode "in this belly of a whale" recalling a "rake and a rastabout" who moved in on the narrator's mother when he was 14 "Leaving my mother A poor consumptive wretch" with a killer-yet-frail chorus delivered by Jenny wisping "Find him, bind him / Tie him to a pole and break / His fingers to splinters / Drag him to a hole until he / Wakes up naked / Clawing at the ceiling / Of his grave". The narrator later was hired in a priory "But never once in the employ / Of these holy men / Did I ever once turn my mind / From the thought of revenge" hearing about a captain known for "wanton cruelty", the man who left his mother destitute in death. There's even a pensive instrumental passage as the narrator contemplates commiting a "wicked deed" (to kill that captain) which nails the sound of the old sea (as only the Decemberists can!). Then "And then that fateful night / We had you in our sight / After twenty months at sea / Your starboard flank abeam / I was getting my muskets clean / When came this rumbling from beneath" as the whale rose from beneath which chews up all but our two antagonists. Marvelous storytelling and delivery including an energized ending. All tunes have the feel of tales of centuries ago, classic stories charles dickens or herman melville would be proud of, full of motorcars and muskets ablaze. "we both go down together" is a tale of a couple who commit suicide knowing their families will never allow them together ("Meet me on my vast veranda / My sweet untouched Miranda / and while the seagulls are crying / we fall but our souls are flying"). That Colin can make such wordsmithy, sea shanties so catchy and endearing is a testament to his intelligence and ability to tap the human condition. Like on "eli the barrow boy", the soliloquied epitaph of a loved one, singing "Would I could afford to buy my love a fine robe / Made of gold and silk Arabian thread / But she is dead and gone and lying in a pine grove / And I must push my barrow all the day". Or the humorously playful "the sporting life": "I fell on the playing field / the work of an errant heel / the din of the crowd and the loud commotion / went deafening silence and stopped emotion" . The instrumentation on this album kicks arse too, from the fiddle on "together" to the organ and horns on "16 military wives" to the accordion on "mariner's revenge song". The slower numbers work well too, from the crime scene buildup of "the bagman's gambit" ("On the lam from the law / on the steps of the capitol / you shot a plainclothes cop on the ten o'clock") and literally lost love "from my own true love (lost at sea)", to what i feel is Colin's first love song "of angels and angles". Beautiful acoustic guitar prefaces simply-felt lines like "there are angels in your angles, there's a low moon caught in your tangles", the perfectly understated closer to offset the literary bombast of "infanta". The sentiment is as saddening-sweet on "the engine driver" with a chorus pleading "and if you don't love me, let me go", and even on the lyrically-simple-life-of-a-male-prostitute of "on a bus mall" illustrating "here in our hovel we fuse like a family, / But I will not mourn for you. / So take off your makeup / And pocket your pills away. / We're kings among runaways / On the bus mall." . There's even a jab at politics in "16 military wives": "Cheer them on to their rivals / Cause America can, and America can't say no / And America does, if America says it's so". "  [+]  Reply

Exposing the real 60's, Kick out the Jams is one of the best albums of the 60's and all time. As doop said, a literal explosion of drugs, sex, and violence. This album is what rock n roll is all about. When Kick out the Jams was first released it was the most controversial aside from Velvet Underground and Nico ever. It is an unbelievably good debut and showed that live albums can be much more than just something you release to end your contract with your record company. Along with the three Stooges albums and the Four Velvet Underground Albums, Kick out the Jams planted the seeds for punk, post-punk, hardcore punk, pop punk, alternative, and hard rock. Wayne Kramer's guitar playing was fresh, fierce, and unforgettable and fitted Rob Tyner's vocals perfectly. Dennis, Michael, and Fred "Sonic" Smith made the music flow and back in the 60's it would be hard to find musicians who could play this loud, noisy, aggressive new rock so well together. The MC5's influence and the influence of Kick out the Jams spreads across almost every genre. A a closing note i would like to list Kramer's advice to guitar playing and musical success: 1. Plug the thing in. I'm no technical wiz, but I've noticed that electric things always work better plugged in. 2. Wash your hands, You play better with clean hands. 3. If you have to sing and play guitar, practice by yourself before you do it at band practice; you don't want to bring down the rest of the band by making them watch you learn how to walk and chew gum at the same time. 4. Always wear your coolest clothes onstage. It's better to look good than feel good. 5. Work on developing your own sound 6. Learn music-not guitar 7. Write songs (with words!) 8. Watch other guitarists' hands-and feet 9. Breathe-don't hold your breath 10. When smashing the guitar keep a smile on your lips and a song in your heart"  [+]  Reply

It’s tough to explain this album, it has almost immeasurable depth and breadth, like listening to a beautifully crafted symphony. If you’re familiar with the band Explosions In The Sky, then you’re familiar with this type of music. It is absolutely beautiful, the kind of music that you turn on loudly, lay down and meld into, losing yourself in the music. It’s amazing and I highly recommend it. It’s probably their best album since “Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven". There aren’t really highlights that I can list either, as this is an album that needs to be listened to all the way through, though I will say the first track, “Mladic", is absolutely amazing."  [+]  Reply

Backed up with my concert of the year at The Royal Festival Hall, which was even better than the performance at The Royal Albert Hall, later in 2013. This album has already won most polls and awards in the category, and has been criminally overlooked by music press, outside the genre. Some would argue that it is a tribute to King Crimson and Yes, but that would be missing everything. This is an artist at his creative peak, surrounded by the best in the business. Special mention to Marco Minnemann on drums, but to be fair the whole assemble deserve a name check. Guthrie Govan (and that guitar solo on Drive Home), Nick Beggs on Bass, Theo Travis on Flute, Sax & Clarinet, and Adam Holzman on Keys. All brilliant, and all easy to pick out in the amazing production of Alan Parsons and Steven Wilson himself. I can’t rate this album high enough. It’s just brilliant."  [+]  Reply
