Free Music Review: Wait, is this fastball? WHY IN THE HELL DOES NOONE KNOW ABOUT THIS ALBUM?
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm in love. Let me start this off by saying this album has blown me away, and the songs are better than any of the experimental crap of "All the Pain Money Can Buy" and beyond.
I bought All the... when it came out when I was 14 in 1998, as I fell head over heels with the song "The Way", yet I eventually became tired with the cd as there was nothing as flat out catchy and fun as that song (In other words, I got to the point where I viewed them as a one hit wonder and gave up on them).
So when I read reviews of this cd, their debut, for a few years I only heard that everyone told them they had to put more hooks and catchiness into their sound after their boring debut, so I avoided this album completely until this year...but boy was I wrong.
I'm a guy who loves british invasion, grunge, and 70s punk equally, so to hear an album that combines the british invasion ("Are You Ready For The Fallout") and replacements style ballads and punk("Altamont" and "Telephone Calls" respectively) with...dare I say an unholy cross between Solcial Distortion-punk and a Foo Fighters chorus on "Make Your Mama Proud", is just heaven for me.
While the later cds showed them as a slower more "experimental" album that just ended up boring me in the long run, unlike the later cds that value musical style over substance, the songwriting and the music in this cd are just incredible. "Knock it down" alone will make you wonder how a band so vital became so boring to have to collaborate with the likes Sheryl Crow and Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne) on their new album, when neither of them have ever written music as good as this.
So for anyone who thought "The Way" was amazing but almost everything else on All The Pain Money Can Buy was pretty boring, buy this album and hear the band when they had more of an edge, because while the later albums might be more "varied" and "experimental", I honestly don't give a crap about that stuff anyway, and this freaking rocks!!
