Free Music Notes for Do You Like Rock Music?
Free Music Review: A great skua
Hit: 5 Stars
Yes, I'm a fan of BSP, and it would be difficult to try and convince someone that I didn't want to praise their newest album simply out of loyalty. But if I could be allowed a modest attempt then I would say that
the music is truly wonderful. I wasn't sure what to expect with this album but I thought perhaps their sound would differ from their previous conceptions. Instead I found no change in style but indeed it's maturation, the continuing developement of BSP's own distinctive sound. There is contained within songs for singing along, jumping, drinking and smoking to(if you prefer those things). The lyrics are sublime, allowing your thoughts to wander without the danger of fixating on a solitary subject but given to joyfully meandering through your mind. Prodigious in effect, subtle in harmony, and profound in it's delivery the album is a lasting joy to me.
Do You Like Rock Music? Poster
British Sea Power return with their third and finest full-length. Here they reintegrate the rock with a slew of blistering guitars and unpredictable studio noisemaking worthy of their visceral live performances. Witness fist-pumpers like "No Lucifer" or the Bonzo-styled drumbeat bashed out under a climactic synth-string section on "Waving Flags." Better yet, "Down on the Ground" and "A Trip Out" both feature guitar riffs worthy of the Judas Priest songbook, before they're enveloped in the vast expanse of their accompanying songs. The sound here is raw and spacious. Guitars remain largely drenched in reverb, and various acoustic instruments grace the arrangements, along with various random noises and happy accidents. On "Canvey Island," vocalist Yan describes the fatal 1953 floods on the Thames estuary from the viewpoint of a football fan decrying the loss of memorabilia rather than lives. On "Atom" he decries the "bright but haunted" modern age through the apt metaphor of the split nucleus: "Oh caveat emptor / Open the atom's core." Brainy explorations like that, along with BSP's notoriously clever sense of humor, make the self-conscious title no surprise, but there's really no better way to describe it. This is what rock music can and should be. --Jason PaceAlternative Rock Music CDs
