Free Music Notes for Born Again in the U.S.a.
Free Music Review: 70's inverted
Hit: 4 Stars
Another good effort, I like this one better than the last. Band is tight and the production is great. Jeff's Jesus song is awesome.
However, Jim's singing is poor. He's a fine producer, but come on -- he would get polite applause AT BEST at your local open mike. This isn't a 3rd grade pageant -- not everyone gets to sing, pal!
Free Music Review: Listen to Track 10
Hit: 4 Stars
Listen to track 10 please. Amazing lyrics. The record is worth getting for this alone.Free Music Review: Great pop
Hit: 3 Stars
***1/2 - I really hesitated picking this up after being so disappointed in A Ghost is Born, but I'm glad I did. Most of the songs come in at around 3 minutes, which is part of their charm. This is good, fun, breezy pop rock. And given the material, I don't even mind O'Rourke's voice all that much. Somehow it fits on "Answers to Your Questions", which offers a nice slower tempo song amidst the lighter tunes around it.
The only reason I didn't give it 4 stars is because of "Wreckroom", which features great 70s style guitar work but is eventually marred by the irritating wall of noise guitar style that, for me, ruined much of Ghost. Take that out and lop off the last 4 minutes of the song, and it would be my favorite song on the CD.
Free Music Review: Good at First, But Fades Over Time
Hit: 3 Stars
I've been listening to this album since it leaked onto the internet several months prior to its release. At first, I thought it was incredible. As times passed, however, I found myself listening less and less. Now I still come back to the standouts (mostly Tweedy's tracks) but I don't find myself desiring to hear the full album when I sit down to listen. It's still good and songs like "Hey Chicken" and "Thou Shalt Wilt" will knock your socks off.Free Music Review: just a footnote
Hit: 3 Stars
Hi everybody. A couple of the reviews here mention "Thou Shalt Wilt" as a song about numbers from 1 to 10. So far as I can see, nobody understood that it's a take on the Ten Commandments. Should have been real obvious by the end of the song: check out the last line.
