Free Music Notes for Suicaine Gratifaction
Free Music Review: You won't be disappointed.
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought 'Suicaine Gratification' from Amazon, recently, though I'm such a huge fan of Westerberg's stuff that I almost didn't. I was afraid I'd be disappointed. I didn't love 'Eventually', and I'd heard mixed reports of 'Suicaine', and even some of the praise seemed to be for things I expected not to like. Like: 'mature'. (Yuck. _I'll_ never grow up, if I haven't by now, I guess -I'm in my 40s!) Or 'gentle' (hell, I don't know if I ever liked gentle, though I guess Westerberg's is some of the best gentle I've ever heard). This is only the third time I'm hearing it (of course, typing and listening isn't _really_ listening, but hearing it, anyway), and I feel compelled, as I do when I hear Westerberg's best, to proselytize. It IS Paul at his best. NOT (particularly) 'mature' in my opinion (what's so frigging mature about 'trying to lose these jerks'? And I notice he still can't wait; is still talking to himself). Nor 'gentle'. (I'm hearing 'Fugitive Kind' right now, which sounds to me like a reworked 'Silver Naked Ladies' (much better lyrics) /'World Class Fad' combo -2 '14 Songs' rockier tracks, No?) Poetry: it's still Paul. Uniquely Westerberg, I think. Who else has sunrise finishing his sentences? Tears running UP his sleeves? (What the hell does that mean? I wouldn't even swear Westerberg knows -who cares? It sounds good.) Now it sounds like he's got someone nailed in his hands and feet -crucified? Hell, even the master imager Lennon just came out and said crucify when he meant crucify, didn't he? Westerberg ALWAYS comes up with a slightly different way to say it (whatever 'it' might be). He _paints_ it. In words. Gives me pictures in my head. (Always has, and today it's looking like he always will.) And the music sounds pure Westerberg to me. 'Very 14 Songs', I think. Which I found fairly 'All Shook Down'. Which is to say: very Westerberg. I hear that particular sort of clunky, sort of ringy, guitar and I see Paul. And the vocals. Mostly just what I love about Westerberg vocals (in the beginning of the album they seem too high to me): raw, a bit ragged, sometimes nearly spoken, always creating a mood, always completely _believable_ to (and believed by) me. In case there's someone out there reading this who was on the fence about popping for Suicaine Gratification', for reasons similar to mine, I feel that you should know you won't be disappointed! I'm loving it.
