MEAT LOAF "braver than we are" cd, 2016:

career stats:
studio albums.......13
singles.................39

this album....................#31 US...#17 AU...#4 UK
singles:
"going all the way is just the start".....no chart action
"speaking in tongues".......................no chart action

Meat's latest effort...
pretty well universally slammed or received luke warm reviews...
Steinman back in charge here...
not new songs but previously unreleased JS tracks, one is a cover of a Bonnie track off
her "faster than the speed of night" album, "loving you is a dirty job (but someones gotta do it)"....
Meat apparently wanted to do a duet with her on the album, no details on which track, but she declined anyway....
several duets on here though with female singers ive never heard of...
songs range from just under two minutes to almost twelve minutes in length, typical of his albums...
mainly ballads and soft rock on here, nothing really genuine rock, well, maybe one track...
he's lost the strength in his voice and just about all the octaves he once had, as the songs are well within his capabilities...
another good album from The Meat, but a bit more meat and less veggies would have been nice,
but the sax work on my favourite track makes up for the lack of meat....

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

worst track: train of love
best track: souvenirs

[video=youtube;n4xb8_-hdcc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4xb8_-hdcc[/video]

tracks:

1...who needs the young **
2...going all the way (a song in six movements) **
3...speaking in tongues ***
4...loving you is a dirty job(but someone's gotta do it) **
5...souvenirs ***
6...only when I feel **
7...more ***
8...Godz **
9...skull of your country **
10.train of love **

terrible album MH, I struggle to get through the whole thing in one listen...

NY dismisses the album album, in his autobiography he says its one of a handful of albums he dislikes and never plays anything
from it live with CH...
in fact, I think the cover is the best thing about it,
yeah, that last track is unlistenable, hate it with a passion...

im more than surprised you stayed on board for as long as you did with NY.

Storm Corrosion - Storm Corrosion

[Image: album_cover.jpg]

From Wikipedia:
Quote:Storm Corrosion was a musical collaboration between Mikael Åkerfeldt of Swedish progressive metal band Opeth and Steven Wilson, an English solo artist and frontman of the progressive rock band Porcupine Tree. Åkerfeldt and Wilson began a longstanding musical partnership in 2001 when Wilson produced Opeth's fifth studio album Blackwater Park. The two began writing together for a new project in 2010, releasing their self-titled first studio album on May 8, 2012 through Roadrunner Records.
A critical success, Storm Corrosion marks a paradigm shift for Åkerfeldt and Wilson. Not wanting the project to be a progressive metal supergroup, the two used it as an opportunity to explore their more esoteric tastes in music, including Comus and Scott Walker.

This is an intriguing album. People familiar with the bands these two guys came from, Porcupine Tree and Opeth, were most likely expecting this to be a heavier, more "metal" version of the kind of music Porcupine Tree were outputting at the time. In fact it bears little resemblance to either Porcupine Tree or Opeth. With the benefit or hindsight, it's clear that this was a precursor to the musical directions that Wilson would explore on his later solo albums.

The album name is also the name of the "band", and to muddy the waters further, it is also the nameof track 2:

Interesting tune, Bob. Starting up as it might be a sweet lullaby, then keeps evolving into a kind of sonic journey (not sure this is what I think of). The kind of music, if you embrace it, you need to listen to quite a few times before it reaches you - reminding me of how I came to enjoy PF back in the days... This one made me curious, need to explore them more...

Meantime, why not have a great time with this amazing tune - wonder what would've been if not Mark Chapman had pulled the trigger that day in December 1980...
An amazing tune, this one

Forgot, sometimes the YT clip one posts wont play in other areas.
Just like starting over - John Lennon


What Are You Listening To? - bob_32_116 - 19-01-2017

I thought "Starting Over" was OK, but I much preferred "Woman" and some of the other Lennon-penned songs on the album.

Regarding Storm Corrosion: there is only the one album so far, the two have not announced any plans for a follow-up, but I definitely recommending delving into anything related to Steven Wilson. There is quite a lot, and it's quite diverse.


What Are You Listening To? - MFS - 19-01-2017

I love this quote from another of his songs
"Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans" - you know which song it is, don't you
And Woman is great as well

WOW...
MH owns a "live album",
obviously, I like the album, Neil has always been at his best live IMO, as most great artists are/were.
Live Rust is one of the greatest live recordings ever made IMO.
