Free Music Notes for Burning Farm
Free Music Review: Really Fun!
Hit: 5 Stars
That's what this CD was... fun! I don't really know what genre it'd fall under, but it's definately the kind of music that makes you happy. My favorite song is the title track - it's just so exciting and different from anything you'd hear today. The entire album is an extremely enjoyable listen.
I feel I must admit that I learned about Shonen Knife through Nirvana and this is the only one of their albums that I've ever heard (but two days ago I bought Pretty Little Baka Guy on vinyl, and it's on its way right now). And here's a little bit of trivia for anyone who might care: this CD made Kurt Cobain's list of top 50 favorite albums, and he said when he first got to see Shonen Knife live, he was "transformed into a hysterical nine year old girl at a Beatles concert". That pretty much says it all right there.
When I bought this CD, I ordered one for myself and one for my friend who is half Japanese and she really enjoyed it too. I don't know how accurate the English translations of their lyrics are, but I guess they give you enough of an idea, if you, like me, only speak English. I thought it was funny that when we were listening to the CD, I asked my friend what they were saying at one point and she replied, "Oh no, that's not Japanese, that's just gibberish". Some of their songs are pretty crazy and silly, but they're all really catchy.
The only criticism I would have (in agreement with another reviewer) is that the 2 live tracks are unnecessary.
Overall, it's an excellent CD, so go ahead, buy it! You won't be sorry.
