Free Music Notes for Life Death Love and Freedom
Free Music Review: Muito viol?o, pouca bateria
Hit: 3 Stars
Sou f? de John Mellencamp h? muito tempo, e ao longo dos anos ele vem lan?ando bons discos e outros nem tanto. O anterior "Freedoms Road" ? perfeito para voc? pegar uma estrada. J? este ?ltimo repleto de baladas folk, talvez pela produ??o do tal Burnett, n?o pega t?o bem. N?o que seja ruim, longe disso, mas falta aquela energia rock com um baterista da qualidade de Ken Aronoff.Free Music Review: A lot of death and not enough life, love and freedom
Hit: 3 Stars
I have been a career-long fan of John Mellencamp and I still like this CD. The production by T. Bone Burnett is stellar. The extra DVD's sound quality is superlative. I am hoping to see more of the CODE disks in the future.
This is the darkest Mellencamp I have ever heard.
"County Fair" is the underside of the bright calliope we remember from childhood. The narrator of this song ends up dead knifed by a stranger. Sadly, no one mourns the dead man. "He shouldn't have been out past 12:00..."
"A Ride Back Home" talks about praying to Jesus to die. The narrator here is so depressed he wants to take his own life, but he's not brave enough.
"Longest Days" talks about growing older.
"If I Die Sudden" is a stark appraisal of what the narrator feels about death.
The lyrics and sound are strong and dark. The CD is heavy listening on a bright day when I'm in a reasonably good mood. I wouldn't recommend anyone listening if they were depressed. Hearing this, I seriously want to offer Mellencamp a hug. It seems like he's got a seriously troubled mind of late.

Free Music Review: classic
Hit: 5 Stars
It is a little depressing but I love it! It is all about life and dying true harsh reality. It has been the only CD I have listened to since i got it! Way to go JohnFree Music Review: Great CD
Hit: 5 Stars
Seems like Mellencamp has been through a lot. Teaming up with TBone Burnett, this CD has a super deep and dark tone. Having some deaths in people very close to me, I was very touched. Not a rocker, but produced very well and with the bonus audio DVD, the production and sound are outstanding.Free Music Review: nice cd
Hit: 4 Stars
It's funny how an artists age shows in their music by what they sing about. I thought this cd was well put together and liked the female vocals too.
