Hit: 4 Stars
This cd is another side of Cher.It!s kind of Cher as a Bonnie Raitt meets Leonard Cohen. Cher sings ballads with a blues rock edge.The mood is dark,and rock is the underlying feel.Cher sings about Kurt Cobain,loneliness,social politics ,the homeless and more.The cd was released to allow her to be another type of performer.Released through her website,it went out of print in a couple years.The old Sonny Bono composition is the weakest,and really no bonus(classified 1 a)I wonder how it found its way here.Still this is an honest if not completely realized work of art.The cd is honest,heartfelt,though seems to miss some type of style center.Perhaps this effort was somewhat isolated from her alternate Cher personna.The unique rock blues sound may have been even better with some instrumental creativity,using strings or woodwinds?This is a testament to Cher proving to be a decent writer in the singer song writer tradition.I still thing her "Its a mans world "1995, was the crown of her singing career.Fave cut here is "sisters of mercy" with its anger and haunting guitar riff. "Still" is a beautifully sung ballad that floats and soothes with Cher's plaintive reading. This is a different Cher,stripped of obvious personna and working with a respectful band.Try it,it's a good effort from a complex personna.Free Music Review: Cher - Not,com.mercial
Hit: 4 Stars
From what I understand Cher was self-conscious about this CD because she had a hand in writing all the songs , hence the limited distribution. Although not her best album, it contains a Cher classic, "Still". The CD should be added to your collection for this cut alone.
A sidebar: I discovered "Still" on a p2p and I would have never known the story behind the recording without the Internet. How can I say this nicely? The recording slimeballs should remove their collective heads from their dark, dank nether regions, and understand that the net is responsible for more sales than it takes away.
Free Music Review: Cher: Not.Com.Mercial (2000)
Hit: 2 Stars
After the release of 20TH CENTURY MASTERS: THE MILLENNIUM COLLECTION-THE BEST OF CHER, Cher released another album. This album was actually recorded back in 1993 or 1994, but for some reason, Cher did not release in 2000, after the 20th Century Masters album. I will not lie to you, this is not Cher's greatest album at all. A song or two on this album are great, but the majority of the album is sort of a downer. No offense to the Diva, but this album was not what I had hoped it would be.
WITH OR WITHOUT YOU
This song was not bad the first time I heard it, but the more I heard it afterwards, the more I grew to like it even more. So this song is a winner in my book.
SISTERS OF MERCY
I wanted a winner and I got more than that with this song. This is song that I really enjoy hearing, no matter what kind of a mood I'm in or what I am doing.
RUNNING
Blah!
BORN WITH A HUNGER
This song I really enjoy because it made me realize that I am Born With A Hunger. I am born to live my life the way I was meant to live it: Striving for my goals and living the best life anyone could ask for. I am hungry to live my life right.
DISASTER CAKE
I think what inspired this title was the infamous "MacArthur Park", where in the chorus, the lyrics read, "...Someone left the cake out in the rain. I don't think I can take it 'cause it took so long to bake it and I'll never have that recipe again..." Another song that is blah!
THE FALL
Not bad.
FIT TO FLY
I think we are all fit to fly and go for our goals in life. Not bad.
STILL
Another blah!
OUR LADY OF SAN FRANSISCO
Not bad.
Now, I've only heard like 30 second samples from this album and from what I've heard, I really was not impressed, but I'm going to get the album anyway, for two reasons: 1) I want all of Cher's albums. 2) The 30 second clips really don't leave me with much of choice to make a final decision. So, I'm gonna get the album and make a better descision. But, I would advise you all to get the album as well as I do.
