Free Music Notes for Awake Is the New Sleep
Free Music Review: Awfulness
Hit: 1 Stars
I've been hearing the song "We're All in This Together" at my job for a few months now. For some reason, they feel like playing it all the time, and it is like torture.
Anyone with the lyrical skills of a three-year-old could come up with this song. It's so irritatingly bad, with him singing "we're all in this together" after every other line, I find it hard to believe that people like it. This guy is just one more in the long line of horrible artists that have destroyed music today. Just awful, and hearing that song would make me not only refuse to listen to this album, but refuse to listen to anything else by this guy.
Awake Is the New Sleep Poster
Ben Lee has been a mainstay on alternative rock airwaves; it's hard to believe the Australian singer/songwriter is still only 26. For album number six he comes full circle on a decade of recordings, working with producer Brad Wood (Liz Phair, Smashing Pumpkins) who spearheaded the sound of Lee's debut record Grandpaw Would in 1995. Awake… follows a comparable blueprint of 2002's Hey You Yes You: uncomplicated, unassuming, no-gloss pop songs. But there is evidence of a newfangled wisdom in Lee and his sketches of songwriting dexterity, which include the distinctive pop-rocker ("Catch My Disease"), the persuasive ballad ("Get Gotten"), the adoring folk number ("The Debt Collectors") and an indulgently experimental nine-and-a-half minute opus ("Light"). Code one could be the riff-fully sanguine opener ("Whatever It Is") in which the author proposes we chase our instincts, then verifies on the ensuing 13 songs that he does just that. "They might tell you that you shouldn't," sings Lee, "But do it. Whatever it is." --Scott HolterAlternative Rock Music CDs
