Save Rock And Roll

Fall Out Boy

"It’s an awfully bold statement, “Save Rock And Roll", especially coming from Fall Out Boy. If I had to pick a band to “save rock and roll", it most likely would not be Fall Out Boy, a band that has been the absolute definition of mediocrity, a band that hasn’t been able to stop writing the same s..."

A Question Of Balance

The Moody Blues

""A Question of Balance" from 1970 was my first Moody Blues album, which I bought while it was still on the charts. It was first and foremost the single "Question" I had noticed in the radio.

It was first and foremost the single "Question" I had noticed in the radio. After purchasing the album, I hated to admit to myself that the other tracks did not live up to my hopes and expectations. There was too little rock guitar and that everything was overall a bit too nice. Even though it could not be measured with other favorites from the same time, such as "A Salty Dog" and "Full House", I actually did play it quite a lot and learned to a certain degree to appreciate even the the songs that sounded like ”family pop”; they were after all good and well-written songs. However, the three Hayward songs were always favorites. Now, many years later, I have relistened to the album and obviously noticed new aspects and learned to appreciate some of them. It is obvious that the group in many ways was trend-setting and lyrically, in fact ahead of their time, e.g. with focus on the environment and greedy abuse of the resurces of the Earth. In fact, very impressive that young men in their midtwenties could deliver such a mature piece of work. The middle part of "Question" is still incredible and probably one of the most beautiful pieces of music group ever delivered. The pompous intro (and end) I was never very crazy about, and I still think that the two parts do not fi really well together. Haywards "It's up to You" is another highlight; a melodic rocker with a small touch of country. "Dawning is the Day" is an evocative and more complex number. Mike Pinders to numbers "How are we here" and "Melancholy man" originally fell out, far from my taste, but of course I now realize that they are actually both nicely and beautifully constructed. John Lodge's songwriting I found came the closest to Hayward’s, and he was my number two favorite. His "Tortoise and the Hare" is a light upbeat soft rocker - a really nice song. His "Minstrel Song" is a grand and nicely arranged composition. Ray Thomas croons safely through his own "And Tide Rushes in," and together with Graeme Edge he has put the final number "The Balance" together. Edge, who was often responsible for the recitals, has also written the fine "Don’t You Feel Small", which could sound like a song taken from a movie. As a whole, "A Question of Balance" is probably one of the most succesful Moody Blues albums and one that has aged with grace. https://www.angelfire.com/nv/Badfinger/BANDmoodyblues.html" [+] Reply

Ouroboros

Ray LaMontagne

"Ray goes full Pink Floyd on this uncompromising sonic adventure produced by My Morning Jacket's Jim James. Meant to be listened to as a whole, Ouroboros is as vital in today's vinyl resurgence as it is drenched in Lamontagne's influences. Although it can be derivative at times, this is a true art..."

Sing For Very Important People

The Free Design

"Beautifully arranged (perhaps second only to the Carpenters), wonderfully harmonized and evocative in its celebration of childhood - an essential LP for big kids and their little kids too. I'm totally and utterly hooked by this sunshine-pop masterpiece, and if your mind is wired in a similar way ..." [+] Reply

Standing At The Sky's Edge

Richard Hawley

"A brilliant album from Richard Hawley. Standing at the sky's edge, was a pleasant surprise upon release. It sees Hawley embracing a psychedelic sound, full of drony guitar rock. It was totally unexpected and is a brilliant record showing us how capable Hawley is making superb leftfield turns. Sta..." [+] Reply
