Free Music Notes for Healthy in Paranoid TimesFree Music Review: Great music, terrible CD Hit: 4 Stars
Like everyone else says, HIPT is much better than Gravity, and meets up with the standard set with Spiritual Machines. Just be careful to note that Enhanced means the CD won't work with any Apple software or iPods, and you can't play the CD as an audio CD on a PC unless you use install extra software. Unfortuantely that software doesn't have key features, like an equalizer or the ability to rearrange the track order.
Free Music Review: believe the hype Hit: 4 Stars
I know this album hasn't been released YET, but I saw them at Edgefest 2003! The first single, "Where Are You" is alright, but I can't wait to hear what the recorded version of "Wipe That Smile Off Your Face" sounds like...they played that one at Edgefest, and it was my favourite of the two new songs they played! All I can say is BELIEVE THE HYPE!
Free Music Review: Love OLP but not their best work! Hit: 3 Stars
Don't get me wrong I love OLP but I felt very politically drowned by several of the songs. I love Walking in Circles!!! I love the tune and its urgency. Where I don't feel the Typical OLP vibe is Wipe that smile off your face and The world on a String. (I don't agree with politics in music) SORRY! Other than those songs, I felt it was an Okay album. But they are losing my faith. They say they wrote 45 songs? They dang well better write a great new album really soon. If they wait as long as they did between the last two albums, they will slip into an unknown nothingness. They need A "Happiness" or at least a "Spiritual machines" album again to save them.
Free Music Review: Great CD! Terrible CD! Hit: 3 Stars
The music on the disc is great..
The CD protection won't let you do what you want with the music that YOU PAID FOR!
Use MusicMatch to rip the songs into MP3s and then you can import the songs into iTunes and an iPod or any other type of MP3 player!
SHAME ON YOU OLP!
Free Music Review: Poor showing by a once unique band Hit: 2 Stars
Crap..this album is like that NFL or NBA player who doesn't think their career is over but everybody watching them knows it. Where is his voice...the unique signature of this band. It started to disappear, along with their guitar sound, on Gravity and now it is all but gone except for a song or two on each album. I could see how that type of singing could wreak havoc on your vocal chords over time and deplete your range and he probably just can't do it anymore and that is alright. I'm sure they still love what they are doing and shouldn't stop until they think they are done.
As a fan, though, this album and Burn Burn have no catchiness to them and once you've listened to them you immediately forget what you just heard...nothing sticks in your head. I'll give any good band a free pass for a poor album when trying to do something a little different or out of their zone, or due to personal issues in their or the entire bands lives but I expect more than bland music from a band that once had an edge to them. They've grown up but they've also outgrown what they once were capable of doing musically and in my opinion should just call it quits after they get done touring.
