Free Music Review: One Of The Best Of The 90's
Hit: 5 Stars
I consider Cry Of Love's "Diamonds & Debris" and "Brother" two of the best rock CD releases of the nineties, so my review will cover both.In the late eighties and throughout the nineties, the indignant Seattle sound was dominant --an appropriate reaction to the vile post punk "new wave," drum-machine, mindless, skinny pink tie and white polyester suited, vapid waste-land of lyric, gold card flashing, mind numbingly bad, hair metal and pop bands of the eighties. Of course there are exceptions, but I don't think it risky to suggest that the eighties was by far the worst decade for all musical forms --ever.
Suddenly and as swift and powerful as a hurricane, the Seattle grunge sound arose and was a catharsis for pop and rock music fans everwhere. Unfortunately, Cry Of Love fell victim to the fervor. COL's two edgy commercially released discs might be shelved as anachronistic given their sound and style combined with their release dates, but that would be a mistake. While the music may feel reminiscent of a time past, this is rock music of the highest caliber. And though hard to pigeonhole, for comparison the material is Hendrixy at times, Black Crowesish -a lot-, AC/DC a bit, even a little Rushy, but it is all quite unique in itself.
Though each release has a different vocalist, both are great. The band is tight, the material well-crafted and guitarist Audley Freed is one of the most confident and knowledgeable fret masters I have heard in a long time (while there are many, check out "Revelations (Rattlesnakes & Queens)" on the Diamonds & Debris release as an example). Cry Of Love gets my vote for being top ten bands of the nineties. Too bad they broke up.
