The Washington state bands fifth album, and first for me. Thought it would come out a bit higher. Suffers with that
sameness label I think, a lot of piano based soft rock, which doesn't vary much. Bought this after hearing I Will
Follow You Into The Dark on some tv show. Don't remember what it was, but it was one of those death bed scenes. I
was mush by the end of it. If that wasn't enough, the real life scene, sitting in the hospital room, watching my
sis die of cancer, I was singing this to myself. Obviously I chose not to follow sis at that time. I'm sure she
made it ok, and I'll see her when it's time. A couple of other death related tracks here also. Only one other track
I love, Crooked Teeth. Two I don't care for, rounding it off to a like. The album got them two grammy nominations
and went platinum, reaching #4 on the chart. Surprised to see that the song I mentioned did not even make it on the
pop chart. Only one that did was Soul Meets Body.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Stable Song
Best Track - I Will Follow You Into The Dark
Love of mine
Someday you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of the spark
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
In catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me "Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
You and me
Have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes
Are all worn down, the time for sleep is now
But it's nothing to cry about 'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
And I'll follow you into the dark.

A gift from a mate. Second album from the Aussie siblings. Six EP's in their catalogue. What's up with that? Pretty
big down under with this one going #1 and getting them ARIA awards for album and single of the year(Big Jet Plane).
No such luck in the states where the album or single never charted. Very nice laid back sound, trading lead vocals
on most alternating tracks. Both work in that respect with Julia having a sweet sexy voice (reminds me of Melanie).
What makes a womans voice sexy? All in the ear of the dirty old man I guess. Big Jet Plane is my favorite, with
other love tracks of Black Crow, Santa Monica Dream, and I'm Yours. One of those stupid hidden tracks at the end on
here which I almost missed. After track 13 ended normally, laid the headphones down. Then about a minute later,
noticed the timer thing was still moving. Dumb asses! Sorry, one of my music industry peeves. Very nice album.

Daydream Nation-Sonic Youth
A long time favorite I've since forgotten about. My obsession with the Fall has been getting back into a lot of bands of these types of early indie music. You know, stuff like Pere Ubu and Wire. This album is phenomenal

Third and last album from this one hit wonder Texas band, and the hit is not on this one. The hit Breakfast At
Tiffany's came from their second album, Home. Although this is their last one, the group has not officialy called
it quits, just on a long 11 year break. They still perform on rare occasions. The found brothers of the group, Todd
and Toby Pipes have been involved in producing local Texas acts for some years. Maybe they find that more rewarding
from an artistic perspective. Doesn't sound like a full reforming is in sight, as the four members have taken
different career paths. They did make some decent music as a group with one standout for me on this album of Hell
In Itself for which there is no clip. Nothing here sounds like the hit single from the previous album, which leaned
more to the pop side. That may have been a fluke they wanted to avoid. Tracks here are much more of an alternative
sound. Softer tracks had some Connells sound for me, and others maybe some REM. Just scrapes by after that one love
track, with three I could pass on. A single of She Is was released which failed to chart as with the album.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Burning A Past
Best Track - Hell In Itself
Everything just right, sugar and old spice
Under the thumb for the last time now
He exits his old cell
There's a priest casting old spells
Then he takes the walk
On his way down, Vinnie turns around
And he says
If you never love then you never live
And that's hell in itself
'Cause we all will be judged
By the love that we give, don't lie to yourself
Those were the old days
Intermittent with old ways
Take the risk with the blame
Even he knew that his old lady's upstate
Does her best just to get straight
Still cries everyday
Now that Vinnie is gone
We carry on and we say
If you never love then you never live
And that's hell in itself
'Cause we all will be judged
By the love that we give, don't lie to yourself

LANA DEL RAY "born to die" cd,2012.
debut set from New yorker Del Ray....not bad IMO, some nice atmospheric tracks, a couple of absolute great ones and several dud tracks...and that sums up the album perfectly...not consistant one way or the other, forget that "video games" song and all the hype surrounding it, it aint that great and there are several more worthy of more merit that that anyway...i have never seen a video of Lana, just took her songs on face value from the radio and obviously from the cd...her video's/clips do nothing to enhance the songs one iota!
overall, the music is quite atmospheric, the lyrics at times thought provoking, but again...her vocals do not vary enough say, like Adele or Florence's do to hold my attention fully over the twelve tracks on offer,thus i had to listen to this in two sittings which means this may not be as good as the rating score gives it and certainly does not have the staying power of the above two mentioned artists, i doubt that this album will ever grow on me, and is more than likely to become less likeable over time....but i currently like this one.
