Free Music Notes for Manic Nirvana
Free Music Review: Yes, I actually DO think this is a 5-Star Album!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a very solid effort from Robert Plant. Many of the songs here totally rock out while at the same time maintaining their own individuality. No two songs sound the same - a great quality to be sure.
My least favorite track is the opener "Hurting Kind (I've Got My Eyes On You)." It's pretty much a straight-up rocker, which is fine, but not so interesting. If you love "Tall Cool One" or, say, "Radar Love" then you'll love this one. The next two are more interesting. "Big Love" has a swinging swagger and "S S S & Q" rocks hard with attitude and pleading sexuality. You might not want to play either in front of your girlfriend if she's a die-hard feminist, know what I mean?
From there we hear the beautiful, mostly acoustic "I Cried" which also bursts into full-on rocking out at one point. "She Said," "Nirvana" and "Tie Dye on the Highway" are all excellent, sophisticated rockers. "Your Ma Said You Cried in Your Sleep Last Night" sounds like it might be a slight nod to Elvis, another singer with plenty of attitude and swagger. "Anniversary" is a slower, synth-propelled song that soon builds with a drum march and guitar solo - it's very compelling. The acoustic "Liars Dance" is one of the best on the album and recalls Led Zeppelin more than anything else on MANIC NIRVANA. The last song, "Watching You," is quite intense with heavy synth, guitars, Middle Eastern influences and a forboding, steady drum pattern.
Plant's singing is awesome throughout and his trademark solo sounds (righteous guitars, synths and female background vocals) are in full effect. Excellent production, with not one misplaced note. May in fact be one of his best despite being one of his least popular releases.
