Free Music Notes for Our Earthly Pleasures
Free Music Review: Jaded and over fifty!
Hit: 5 Stars
Maximo Park is the most entertaining group I have heard and seen in many years. Having worn out Who records as a teen ager and grown up with the Jam, Clash, Replacements, Roxy Music, now It takes a lot for me to even care what people say in these reviews. I bought Jimi Hendrix records as they came out for gods sake! I enjoy many of the UKs' new entries Bloc Party, Rakes, Kaiser Chiefs,Franz, Hard-Fi, this record will hold your attention long after you have retired the others to the been there done that pile.
These guys are original and may require more than a cursory listen but as with all music, If you like it first time around it will probably be gathering dust in a forgotten pile soon. These songs grow on you and become part of your musical personality.The first 8 songs are the strongest lineup I have seen on any record.Our Velocity,Russian Literature,The Monument....Absolutely my Idea of what Rock is all about. Buy it Now! YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG! thanks Maximo Park!
Our Earthly Pleasures Poster
2007 sophomore album from this Britpop outfit. Produced by Gil Norton (Pixies/Foo Fighters) making it even more taut and muscular and boasts five huge radio singles (each featuring a video with a different director). 12 tracks including 'Girls Who Play Guitars', 'Books From Boxes' and the first single 'Our Velocity'.. Warp. 2007The second album from Newcastle's Maximo Park, Our Earthly Pleasures confirms its creators to be one of the UK's more idiosyncratic indie outfits--the sort of bookish, educated rockers for whom intelligence means something more than reading a book while you're having your photo taken. Not only does vocalist Paul Smith boast the sort of wit and wisdom to rhyme the words "hypothetical," "alphabetical," "theoretical," and "dialectical" ("A Fortnight's Time") without coming off as a pretentious try-hard, the songs Maximo pen zip along with a gleaming tunefulness and athletic agility that denies any obvious musical influence. Much here is concerned with collapsing relationships, although Smith takes a more circuitous route than most though the familiar territory of a love song: "Our Velocity" treats male-female communication as a cipher to be cracked, while the chiming "Books from Boxes" takes stock of a love affair of a relationship from its accumulated paper trail. Far from being introspective and self-absorbed, however, Our Earthly Pleasures is an energetic, vibrant affair, thanks in part to the work of Pixies producer Gil Norton, who thickens up Lukas Wooler's synth and hones the band dynamic to quiet/loud perfection. --Louis Pattison
