What Are You Listening To? - mtthwibrahim - 30-11-2011
Red-King Crimson
one of the definitive prog masterpieces. Shockingly complex and quite heavy (especially considering it's time)

THE SCRIPT "science & faith" cd, 2010.
second album from this Irish trio, received rave reviews for their debut album, which i have not heard, and mixed reviews from this, their second release...and i too am in two minds as to whether i like or dislike this one as it is a borderline grading here.
some good rock sounds and vocals, but unfortunately for the band its all too much of a muchness IMO ie: the songs for the most part all sound the same....a bit more variation and i would have like this quite a bit, nothing great on here and four tracks that i just couldnt 'get into'.
the album reached #1 here in Australia, Canada and the UK and got a respectable #3 placing in the States...obviously i am missing something that the kids of today "totally get"?!
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track:nothing...(that is the title of the song)

Thought I liked this more than I did on this listen. Seven years between spins can do that. It can muddy things up
or clear them up. State of mind I guess. Not a real bad album, just not a real Doors album. Put together after
Jimmy bit the dust. Some of his poetry, probably when he was stoned immaculate, then the remaining group members
added the music. Nice music for the most part, and cleverly put together. Just the concept of it seems kind of dry,
wondering if Jim would have even approved. He had planned on releasing this himself, but not with the Doors. Seven
years after his death seems a long time to come up with this. Probably legal issues entered into that. The Morrison
poetry was originally recorded in 69-70. A live version of Roadhouse Blues made it on here someway, along with
excerpts of a few other Doors tracks. Maybe an album for those who became late fans and want that complete
collection, but don't think of it as a Doors album. Made #54 on the U.S. charts.
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Lament
Best Track - Dawn's Highway/Newborn Awakening
Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind.
Me and my -ah- mother and father - and a
Grandmother and a grandfather - were driving through
The desert, at dawn, and a truck load of Indian
Workers had either hit another car, or just - I don't
Know what happened - but there were Indians scattered
All over the highway, bleeding to death.
So the car pulls up and stops. That was the first time
I tasted fear. I musta' been about four - like a child is
Like a flower, his head is just floating in the
Breeze, man.
The reaction I get now thinking about it, looking
Back - is that the souls of the ghosts of those dead
Indians...maybe one or two of 'em...were just
Running around freaking out, and just leaped into my
Soul. And they're still in there.
Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind.
Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of Phantastic L.A.
Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth if a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union
Blood on the rise, it's following me.
Indian, Indian what did you die for?
Indian says, nothing at all.

What Are You Listening To? - Apostrophe(') - 30-11-2011
Been listening to Santana's The Best Instrumentals, which is pretty self explanatory. I love almost everything Carlos puts out. I love his tone and his cultural take on rock music. Beautiful and smooth riffs throughout.
Best tune: Europa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBDLQZgntYE

MEAT LOAF "hang cool,teddy bear" cd, 2010.
Meat's 11th studio outing and dear oh dear....
how hard has the once mighty Meat Loaf fallen....i know its sometimes difficult to distance past glories from present failures, and in this case i wish i was listening to "deadringer","bat out of hell" or even its sequel in "bat out of hell II"...
i know Jim Steinman is once again out of the picture, and Meat always struggles without those epic charasmatic opus songs, he does those character songs really well, but when confronted with straight foreward rock n roll he falters, and does so badly..
thats not to say there are no good tracks on here, there are, but only just over half of them 8/13 in fact. the most interesting one is the third track "los angeloser" which is a boppy mover complete with "scratching", a few "yo baby's" and "check this outs", and a cool rock beat, so it is my favourite one here. the second last track "if it rains" comes pretty close to being the best one,its a good rock ballad with hints of past glories...although neither is worthy of *** they could over more time and exposure!..
Steve Vai and Brian May both make guest appearances here as does Jack Black...
look, the album probably isnt as bad as it sounds but as ive said:compared to previous albums it is dissapointing!
oh yeh, the album is loosely based on a novel on the same name by Kilian Kerwin, its the story of an injured,dying soldier reflecting back over his life and what could be if he were to survive and get back home...
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

ok, had this one since it came out, only just got round to hearing it...heard it twice over the last couple of days to make sure my first impressions were valid.
THIS IS A BRILLIANT ALBUM!...
dont know anything about Leon, but i sure know enough about Elton to make that call,
these songs are as good as anything Elton released back in the 1970s,early 1980s, and to those on his "songs from the west coast" album from several years ago.
this is classic Elton...probably due in no small part to Bernie Taupin once again in his corner...
Brian Wilson does some backing vocals on here as a favour to Leon because Leon was there in the Beach Boy days playing piano on a lot of their tracks,
also, Neil Young makes a surprise appearance singing guest vocals on one track..."gone to shiloh".
not a single dud track on this one at all, just very good to brilliant songs by Elton and his "idol"....
well worth buying,especially if you like the 'classic' Elton years!
