This is a great album. More synthetic than most of The Strokes material, this is music that harks back to the '80s, yet still manages to sound contemporary & fresh.

![[Image: 200px-Morningofwayifell.JPG]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/3f/Morningofwayifell.JPG/200px-Morningofwayifell.JPG) New York band with their sophomore effort, after receiving high praise for the first. They pick up producer Jim Wurt (Incubus, Hoobstank) for this one. The band consists of Chris Petrosino - Piano/Guitar/Vocals, Rob McCurdy - Guitar/Vocals, Justin Wiley - Vocals/Guitar, Jessica Leplon- Vocals and Dan Celikoyar- Drums/Percussion. Some good tracks, but most miss the mark for me, just falling short of the buy grade. I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM Worst Track - What You Can't Control Best Track - Heaven Or Hell Do you feel the same? I've given it time But you went away And left me to die Time goes on and on and on again But I just feel worse I soldier on and on and on But you won't return I've seen heaven and hell, made too much of myself Built this world on my shoulders for a story to tell I've been broken and bruised, left my lungs overused Watched you walk away Watched you walk away There was a time when I Counted on you to be here for me Now that seems naive Life goes on and on and on And I just stand still You move on and on and on And nothing feels real Here..lay still Open my heart Feel it slow I put you out The way I fell in If you turn to me now I could only say this Now if you're scared to death like me But you'll not get a bit of rest For the pounding and calling at a door in your little chest If you're scared to death like me, close your eyes Just close your eyes 1) Jennasea - 1.5 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiHTFAxtGqA 2) What You Can't Control - 1.0 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjDeE50yadY 3) The Ones That Fall Apart - 1.5 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLs9-em_9P4 4) Tell Me I'm Wrong - 2.0 - video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYpheUk5CrQ 5) Dance With Me - 1.5 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UfMpmoOS...re=related 6) Cobwebs And Cables - 1.5 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVhUsz7CT...re=related 7) The Time It Takes To Grow - 2.0 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC-GFsuzqdo 8) Like Yesterday - 1.5 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gfu75l8Nkfo 9) Waiting - 1.0 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdEWJUHsu...re=related 11) Bring Me Home - 2.0 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tCKeZyOx...re=related 12) Heaven Or Hell - 2.0 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUif_b2v-RQ Average Rating - 1.6

The singer is the son of '60s actress Hayley Mills FWIW. Inventive blend of guitar Rock, & Eastern spiritualism. Well worth a listen once in a while...

Have a few others, but always thought Mars was the best. Didn't expect to have flashbacks or anything, but with only 3 tracks I liked out of 16, that's not a very high average. With 6 years since the last release, which I never heard, and an 8 year layoff prior to that, that's a 16 year drought for me. I'm a math whiz. The guys can still rock out, but it just didn't hit me the same. The album is getting good reviews though, so once again, I guess I'm out of touch in my mellowing out years. I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM Worst Track - 1968 Best Track - Only In America 1) Crackin' Up - 1.0 - video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZMSru8PjRs 2) A Few Home Truths - 1.5 3) Are You Sleeping? - 1.5 4) Burnt Orange - 1.0 5) I Hope You're Happy - 1.5 - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1APvbEIQ8M 6) Ashamed Of Me - 1.5 7) What's In It For Me? - 1.5 8) Over Nothing - 2.0 9) You've Got Another Thing Coming - 1.0 10) Only In America - 2.0 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF3dTtp7ncU 11) Somebody Take Me Home - 1.5 12) Let Me In - 2.0 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2ZH_cLDaHs 13) Evening Shade - 1.5 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyzoMbLl1-4 14) Why So Sad? - 1.0 15) 1968 - 1.0 16) The Stars Look Down - 1.5 Average Rating - 1.4

![[Image: n65941izx6a.jpg]](http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drn600/n659/n65941izx6a.jpg) New York band fronted by Matthew Houck, who is a Georgia resident and Alabama native. Other members come and go with Houck being the mainstay. This is the fifth full length and the first to include other musicians. A couple of duds, but mostly good stuff for me with an Eagles alt/country laid back feel, and The Mermaid Parade a near gem. Only complaint is the brief 9 songs. I feel cheated. I LIKE THIS ALBUM Worst Track - Hej, Me I'm Light Best Track - The Mermaid Parade 1) It's Hard To Be Humble (When You're From Alabama) - 1.0 2) Nothing Was Stolen (Love Me Foolishly) - 1.5 3) We'll Be Here Soon - 2.0 - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVq7vDz736c 4) The Mermaid Parade - 2.5 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8J1mK3jats 5) I Don't Care If There's Cursing - 2.0 6) Tell Me Baby (Have You Had Enough) - 2.0 - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNKLiOnxMb8 7) Hej, Me I'm Light - 1.0 8) Heaven, Sittin' Down - 2.0 - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJQ7_BC7cV4 9) Los Angeles - 2.0 - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k25DkPwkwQA Average Rating - 1.8

Glad I dipped in. Band was formed in 1997 in New Mexico but now resides in Oregon. Signed to Sub Pop in 2001 for the debut and this is the follow up. It cracked the U.S. charts at #86. Kinda short, clocking in at just over 30 minutes, but loving 5 of the 10 tracks makes up for it. Of course there are a couple that fall way short, making this average out just under the love mark overall. I LIKE THIS ALBUM Worst Track - Fighting In A Sack Best Track - Gone For Good Untie me, I've said no vows The train is getting way too loud I gotta leave here my girl Get on with my lonely life Just leave the ring on the rail For the wheels to nullify Until this turn in my head I let you stay and you paid no rent I spent twelve long months on the lam That's enough sitting on the fence For the fear of breaking dams I find a fatal flaw In the logic of love And go out of my head You love a sinking stone That'll never elope So get used to the lonesome Girl, you must atone some Don't leave me no phone number there It took me all of a year To put the poison pill to your ear But now I stand on honest ground, on honest ground You want to fight for this love But honey you cannot wrestle a dove So baby it's clear You want to jump and dance But you sat on your hands And lost your only chance Go back to your hometown Get your feet on the ground And stop floating around I find a fatal flaw In the logic of love And go out of my head You love a sinking stone That'll never elope So get used to used to the lonesome Girl, you must atone some Don't leave me no phone number there 1) Kissing The Lipless - ** - video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5H2E1zvQhI 2) Mine's Not A High Horse - ** - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyqFhKpdNs0 3) So Says I - *** - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuNuWUNDgR4 4) Young Pilgrims - *** - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW3Z1W8n2Dw 5) Saint Simon - *** - video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqYMRcnLU0o 6) Fighting In A Sack - * - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiC0XefAeLU 7) Pink Bullets - *** - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XBabozrPGA 8) Turn A Square - * - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7yiT5phQgQ 9) Gone For Good - *** - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCe3e1FU6c8 10) Those To Come - ** - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVsX56BPrpU Average Rating - 2.3 |
