Free Music Notes for Cherry Tree
Free Music Review: Tied for Second Behind All Their Other Albums (Sublime)
Hit: 5 Stars
There is one problem with this album: it's too short. Funny thing is, I was listening to it when I got the Amazon e-mail asking me to review it. It's better than 98% of the crap on the Billboard Top 40 albums. (Is music popular because people like it or because the record companies tell them to like it???) It does contain a couple of my all-time favorite TN songs - "All the Wine" and "Murder Me Rachel (live)." The only song that I found even slightly disappointing was the last one, "A Reasonable Man." [My favorite artists: Neil Young, Yo La Tengo, anything from the founding fathers of Uncle Tupelo, R.E.M., The Silos, Steve Forbert, Stan Ridgway, Paul Kelly (Aussie), Beck, Bob Dylan, The Jazz Butcher, BNL, Norah Jones, Natalie Merchant, Dinosaur Jr., Marcy Playground, K.T. Tunstill, Billy Bragg, Frank Black] I add this because I know our favorites influence these reviews. I like artists that write their own material.Free Music Review: great cd
Hit: 5 Stars
cd is over far too quickly, but it's packed with great music. wasp nest is an absolutely incredible song and starts things off right - and the rest of the cd keeps right up with it. if you're already a fan of the national, you must have this, and if not, it's a great introduction.Free Music Review: Stunning stories
Hit: 5 Stars
The National may be hard to categorize but you are always assured beautiful imagery and lush soundscapes. Cherry Tree does not disappoint.Free Music Review: Very strong effort from excellent band
Hit: 4 Stars
Cherry Tree has a very different feel from the most recent release 'Alligator'. It is quieter, is full of violins and kind've brings back memories of Dire Straits 'making moves' on 'All Dolled up In Straps'. With the exception of the last track on this EP all the other songs are very good with 'Cherry Tree' being the neatest and artiest song.Free Music Review: Nice bridge between albums
Hit: 4 Stars
This EP is a nice bridge between albums. It contains "Murder Me Rachael" from Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers as well as "All the Wine" from Alligator. The last song's a dud, but don't let that stop you National fans from purchasing this album as most of the stuff starts to sound like what ended up becoming Alligator.
