Free Music Notes for 1039 / Smoothed Out Slappy Hours (Reis) (Dig)
Free Music Review: (Not So) Surprisingly Good Album!
Hit: 5 Stars
I will begin by explaining my review title.
Surprisingly good due to the fact that such an early album from young guys like this shouldn't be this damn good.
(Not So) Surprisingly good due to the fact that we all know that Billie Joe Armstrong can apparently write an endless amount of catchy songs!
That being said, I basically grew up with Green Day albums, 1st hearing "Kerplunk" then of course "Dookie" and so on. Always finding something to love on each album, if there's one thing you can say about Green Day, they are consistant. Each album has worked right into the next one with a flawless attempt to become more and more serious and broad when it comes to songwriting. While all the same, never (ever) sounding quite like anybody, but Green Day, when you hear the songs you know who it is.
Well, here's where it all started, with "1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours", and the amazing thing is, IT'S ALL HERE (except for Tre Cool that is), but everything that makes Green Day popular is present on this early album. How as a young kid Armstrong could concoct such catchy melodies as "Going To Pasalacqua" is beyond me, that damn chorus has been in my head since the second I heard it.
Sure, upon 1st listen it might sound amateurish, and under produced, when compaired to everthing else they have done, but that is exactly the appeal of it, it's them being themselves at the time without any big production, just good old fashion garage band jamming! The only difference between this and just any old everyday run of the mill garage band, is that something golden is happening here. If listened to closely you can really hear a band that has got something different going on, in terms of how they construct a song and execute it. The passion is at the forefront and doesn't let up. They are playing like they have nothing else to fall back on, and maybe that was the case, i don't know, but it sure sounds like it here.
There are so many good songs on the album, but I place my emphasis on "Going To Pasalacqua" because it exemplifies all my points, the passion, the agression,and the catchiness! If you want a good sample of what the album has to offer, give this song a listen. If you like it, your in for a treat the rest of the album goes along that path and doesn't let up, much like the band it's self.
It's just really interesting to see where these guys came from musically. And, like I said, the fantastic thing is that these songs were written early on with out the help of big producers or commercial success, straight from the heart and gut. Bigger things were to come for Green Day, but here was the launching point.
