Free Music Review: Cold-Blooded Sympathizer
Hit: 5 Stars
Reading the reviews, I hear the phrases "droning hard rock" and "standard rock and roll regalia" associated with The Constantines....Why has everyone failed to mention how sad this album is? There is something about his voice that is so tragic, so desperate. Listen to "Goodbye Baby & Amen"...listen to "Insectivora"...Listen to their other album, listen to "Justice". It helps that they can write...but I would listen just for Bry Webb's voice. So sorrowful, yet strangely triumphant.
Shine a Light Poster
The first pressing of the The Constantines' self-titled (and Juno Award-nominated) debut (released on Three Gut Records in 2001) was fittingly packaged so that, upon opening the red cardstock booklet, you'd find a single strike anywhere match. In an effort to not ruin the beauty and poignancy of a thing through over-explanation, suffice it to say that if your relationship with rock and roll is not fundamentally a quest for fire (elemental, transformative, consuming), you've missed the point. This from Magnet magazine: "They're young offenders with sharpened teeth who make grinding, literate punk with the elasti-to-explosive guitars heard on Fugazi's "Smallpox Champion," the stark lyrical economy of a Vonnegut-penned newspaper obituary..." And: "The Constantines are old souls in young bodies-guys in their early 20s who sound like Joe Strummer backed by Fugazi - making music that wakes the sleeping and the dead." Shine a Light is The Constantines' second full-length and first for Sub Pop (Three Gut continues as the band's home north of the border).Alternative Rock Music CDs
