Free Music Notes for Beside Manners Are Extra
Free Music Review: Lawson's vocals
Hit: 5 Stars
Many make such an issue out of Lawson's voice. If you like progressive music you are one to open your mind to new sounds and love the strong distinctiveness of the various bands. Lawson's voice is what makes Greenslade distinctively Greenslade. While the instrumentals are quite good, they are not good enough to carry a whole album, so the vocal interjection is needed to keep it interesting. Lawson has done a very good job at this. His vocalization is strongly emotive and upfront. Perhaps, as some say, in previous bands his vocals were more laid-back, yet Greenslade music seems to bring out more in his creative use of voice. It is an added instrument.
I do admit upon hearing Lawson's voice at first, I was taken aback a bit, but don't we all feel that way about progressive music? We need to listen many times before judging, because it's an acquired taste. Each band challenges us to acquire the taste. Obviously I have. I love Lawson's voice and the duel keyboards as well.
In bands like Anglagard and Camel the vocals are very tepid, so they don't grate quite so easily, although everyone would also say that although not unpleasant, they are not great either. If you prefer vocals such as those, Lawson voice would challenge you. Greenslade much like Genesis's Peter Gabriel, and Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull; if you don't like those voices, you can never like the band, because the vocals are so strong and upfront. And while Lawson is, admittedly, not as good as those musicians, he is emotive in a similar way. Together with a great Roger Dean album cover, nice keyboard work, and Lawson's voice the music creates a distinct emotional collage in your mind that is Greenslade. Strong voices are not common in progressive music, so try Greenslade as an alternative flavor.
