Free Music Review: Love and Mercy - From Brian and Metamorpho Tonight....
Hit: 5 Stars
Your Metamorpho fell asleep last night to the sound of the waves undulating against the shore. Needless to say, this vision of Cleopatra entered my dream state. "I hate to barge in", she cooed. "But, I have a favor to asp of you". She batted her eyes. "Oh? What is that Cleo?", I asked. "You have been in de-nile for some time now. Even in my now spirit form, I have walked like an Egyptian many times to the sound of Brian Wilson's music. Why don't you write a review on his music as a solo artist?" Her papyrus lips were moist. She had a beautiful pout. "O.K. Cleo, just for you. But please don't tell Caesar". "Done!", she said and then disappeared. I could have sworn she had a bikini on, but then, don't forget it was a dream. Anything is possible there.
Now to this album. Brian wrote this after a long hiatus. As to why or how he was away for so long- I can only conjecture. No matter. Some people could consider this Pet Sounds II. But, it really isn't that. It certainly is excellent in it's own right. I consider it an expansion of his creative ability. Also the freedom to create. Songs with glorious accoutrements of lush orchestration and a "wall of sound" feel to it. The thing about Brian was that he was always able to sort out the vocals. Vocals as instruments providing an integral part of the musical landscape. All of that is evident here.
We have no "Surf's Up" or "God Only Knows" in this album. But so what? He has certainly proven his musical worth by now and can do what he wants.
The amazing thing with this album that - despite all his former problems- the songs convey odes to relationships- good tidings to all ("Love and Mercy") and wonderfully positve embellishments. My favorite one is "Let It Shine" which, for me, was such an important song through a dark time in my life. Metamorpho have dark times? Hard to believe I know. But you can't get to the good without going through the bad. Brian knows this all too well. It is also a universal truth.
There are so many wonderous aspects to the tunes included here. He is such a talented composer and has turned into a superb dreamscape artist. Whether it be about rebirth "There's So Many" with it's excellent insertion of "the planets are spinning around". Or the awe and prairie moodness of the "Rio Grande" with it's indian drumbeat. And that's just one of the musical motifs he employs here.
Brian Wilson is a listening experience. Alot of the songs don't exactly meet the standard chord progression. It's like he is busy working out thematic threads that tie the song together. There can be many melodies within one compostion. This is just another example of how he has progressed and moved popular music into the next phase of classical music.
That being said - alot of the music reminds one of what the Beach Boys could have accomplished under this new direction. And you will hear the ambience of their vocals here. Joyful, lush and a treat to hear.
Now I must be going. Hope you get this an enjoy as much as I have. Now to meditate and contact Cleopatra. She left a gold anklet here. Maybe a ploy? Perhaps I should send Guido to give it back to her. Let him deal with Caesar!
Caught in the Pyramid Scheme---- your Metamorpho
Brian Wilson (Dlx) Poster
Brian Wilson's solo debut finally arrived in 1988 to much fanfare and near unanimous critical hosannas. Unfortunately, its commercial impact was negligible, a disappointing outcome for both Wilson, who takes pride in his string of '60s hits, and his boosters, for the 11-song self-titled record represents the zenith of the pop genius's post-Beach Boys oeuvre. "Love and Mercy" heralds Wilson's return to form; lyrically gracious and musically grand, it's an opener quite nearly on a par with "Wouldn't It Be Nice." From there, Wilson and an assortment of coproducers (Russ Titelman, Jeff Lynne, Andy Paley, and Lenny Waronker) intermix brisk, playful rockers ("Night Time," "Little Children") with sumptuous pop concoctions (the a cappella "One for the Boys," "There's So Many"), wrapping things up with an ambitious suite, "Rio Grande." The reissue is generously fleshed out with interview segments, demos, and late-'80s rarities, including the delightful B-side "He Couldn't Get His Poor Old Body to Move." --Steven StolderPop Music CDs
