Free Music Notes for Love Is Simple (with Bonus DVD)
Free Music Review: Won't leave the rotation
Hit: 5 Stars
Love is Simple is one of the best CDs I've heard in a long time. From beginning to end, a true masterpiece by a powerful band (who is even better live than in the studio). This hasn't left the 6-disc changer since I first put it in.Free Music Review: We Wanted the Blessing Force, We Got the Blessing Force
Hit: 5 Stars
They finally did it... an album that captures the intensity of their live shows, without excluding the aesthetic discretion found on their previous studio work. While some may be disappointed that it isn't as 'quiet' of a release as their first self-titled album, I'm of the opinion that this is their finest recording to date. Brilliant song writing, inventive performances, and quite possibly the best collection of songs released this year (2007). Simply put this is a "must have" for anyone interested in creative rock / folk music (i.e. Pink Floyd, Neil Young, Incredible String Band, Eloy, Can, etc).
The bonus DVD has some excellent performances as well, though the sound quality may limit its appeal to fans already familiar with their material.
Free Music Review: listen to it every day and sometimes every night
Hit: 5 Stars
This album has made me happy. I've thought about humans when listening to it. I've considered my place in a crowd, in the universe, in a graveyard. I've lain on the floor, closed my eyes, controlled my breathing and fainted accidentally. I've jumped up into the air, kicked my legs out, landed, danced in place, trying to do it faster than the songs. I've wished for a family. I've dreamed of being the performer and the person in the audience and that for a moment our heads become siamese.
This album is so good that I've given up writing reviews. I've given up reading reviews. I've sold my belongings, wrapped up provisions for a week in a bandana, placed it on the end of a stick and am now wandering around the railroad tracks listening to my ipod.
It's not like their other albums. There's more danger in it. And more blessing force, happily or impossibly.
