Free Music Review: For My Friends........
Hit: 5 Stars
Great Album, Travis Warren is an awesome singer, the band still sound like.......Blind Melon, you get the feeling that they really have a chemistry that was worth bringing the band back for. "For My Friends" is classic melon sounding, with Travis channeling Shannon Hoon as only a Hoon inspired singer could. With "With The Right Set Of Eyes" you know that they made the right decision to come back, a massive rocker. "Wishing Well" is the PERFECT Pop song with that familiar Blind Melon feel, right down to the background woo hoo hoo vocals, Shannon would be smiling down on Travis knowing only he could do the band and songs like this justice. "Sometimes" is a new approach music and lyric wise for the band which feels natural, Travis really soars in parts of this song while at other times he makes it sound too easy. "Tumblin Down" is much the same with a little more of a familiar Blind Melon sound. "Down On The Pharmacy" is a heavier edged rocker too, i saw an awesome live clip on you tube with Travis going nuts, a song you would think would be killer live. "Harmful Belly" is a song that has Travis and this version of Blind Melon written all over it. If you have checked out their myspace just before they released this album you would have seen a clip of Travis singing the verse acoustically then they blend the band in. This is a song Travis done a early version off with his first band "Rain Fur Rent", The Band definitely elevated this song to another level. "Last Laugh" is a song about Shannon, one of the best songs of their career.IMO. It has some major weight and from the heart. "Hypnotise" the PERFECT example of the Travis Warren era of Blind Melon, the lyrics on this track are great, paint some really cool mind pictures, just listen and you'll see what i mean. "Fathertime" sounds like this band could write songs like this in their sleep, which is cool. "So High" Brilliant song!!!!, great lyrics, the band creates a really dynamic mood throughout the song and Travis soars like only he can, one of my favs. Last but not least is one of the best songs i have ever heard "Cheetum Street" with amazing vocals by Travis and some other chick singing in the background, listen and the song will win you over instantly. So there you have it, if your curious or have been a fan of the band in the past i hope i have convinced you to atleast give it a listen with open mind and open ears. No Travis isn't Shannon nor do i want him to be, i love this new version of Blind Melon as much as the old and i think Shannon would approve of Travis as he not only is a great singer and muso but seems like a really cool guy, (from what i've seen anyway). If you want to hear what the band could come up with next if they decide to work together again, check out the song "Samantha's Play" on youtube, with Travis as the centre piece of the track, obviously vocally, but musically as well, BREATHTAKING!!!! I have hope:)
