What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



The debut album, and surprised to realize the only one I have. Certainly not because I didn't like them. A very
nice album here. Just one of those groups that slipped through. Excellent vocals from Mick Hucknall and a tight
soulful band. A #1 single in Holding Back The Years and a #16 album. Not a bad showing for a debut. Very nice cover
of Talking Heads Heaven which is equal to theirs for me. Also love tracks in Moneys Too Tight To Mention and
Jericho. Only one track I don't like with No Direction. The band went on a 10 album run each one reaching the top
10 in the U.K. but this one was the highest charting here. A best of set may be in order.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - No Direction

Best Track - Holding Back The Years

Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear I've had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear that's gone
Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater
Get to me the sooner or later

Holding back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I've known
Holding back the tears
Cause nothing here has grown
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could yeah

I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
So tight

(Alright, oh now)

Well I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all of those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Cause nothing ever could oh yeah

I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
Holding, holding, holding

That's all I have today
It's all I have to say

1.If you are going to market yourself, at least take the time to check what you have typed. You obviously haven't.
2.If you were a 'leading & most prominent audio library' you would not be advertising here.
3. Go away.

Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike-Gogol Bordello

Everytime I try telling people about this, they immediately dismissit as being some kind of joke. Perhaps I'min the minority here, but I see nothing funny about a totally solid garage punk band using accordions and violins to add a bit of extra flavor to their killer tunes

[mtthwibrahim]

Liar-the Jesus Lizard

I amazed that I'd never heard this band until yesterday. This is my second album from them ("Goat" being the first), and it's absolutely awesome. The riffs, the vocals, the ideas behind it all; perfection

[Keef Rob]

Rhythm & Noise – Delirium Tremens

[Frosty]

The Melvins - Night Goat ...and before that, a really good live version of "Leeech".

[CRAZY-HORSE]

CAGE THE ELEPHANT "thank you, happy birthday" cd,2011...#2US, #28UK, #37AU.

second album by these Kentucky natives...probably the second worst thing to come from Ky, the worst is a person i met whilst over there...LOL!
got this one as one of the freebies in a competition i won in January for correctly predicting the Aust top5 singles for the following week...glad this one was free otherwise i'd have thought i'd have dupped if i bought it!
sort of a cross between grunge and the likes of Arctic Monkeys/Kasabian and Pixies IMO...a total miss-match of sounds that sound messy and noisy, not my thing at all.
the allmighty allmusic pros love this one, giving it a converted 2.4....me, nowhere near this mark!
