Free Music Notes for Siren
Free Music Review: Every album has it's fans and I'm not one of this ones
Hit: 2 Stars
I've not played this album in a while, I haven't wanted or cared to. I did play it about fifteen times when I first bought and basically came away feeling indifferent to it's charms with the exception of "Love is the Drug" and "Both Ends Burning", which I can hear on almost any compliation that has ever been issued.
I don't hate this album but it never seems to catch fire and it didn't particularly reward actively giving it my undivided attention with the above noted exceptions. It was quite a let down after "Country Life".
I wish I had seen the review by Ira Robbins in The Trouser Press first before buying it on spec. He thought it was "disappointingly dull", which I basicly agree.
It is probably the last Roxy Music album I would buy a CD copy of.
Well, maybe before "Viva!" which is a more dynamic set of performances ruined by shrill, loud female backup singers.
Siren Poster
Released before Roxy Music became a de facto Bryan Ferry project, but after their Brian Eno-influenced art-rock stage, Siren is a snapshot of a band in flux, and loving it. There's little of the boundary-pushing primitivism that marked their self-titled debut. Still, Ferry's youthful edge and the band's rough-hewn melodicism will shock those expecting to hear the adult-contemporary silkiness found on 1982's massive-selling Avalon. Both camps should nevertheless admire this record for so recklessly and beautifully straddling that massive stylistic gap. Featuring their first modest hit in the U.S., "Love Is the Drug," the record overflows with choruses that reveal their hooks slowly while drawing on sunny, spare instrumentation and Ferry's loopy, still-developing croon. As the band wrestles between glam-pop, sleek dance tunes, and shiny, Moody Blues-esque rock & roll, they don't sound at all like a band running from its past. Ferry and his cohorts are just taking back the reins, revealing the brisk melodies and strong songwriting that were the one constant in Roxy Music's lifespan. --Matthew CookeAlternative Rock Music CDs
