Free Music Notes for Ego Is Not a Dirty Word
Free Music Review: "Ego" Is An Australian Classic!
Hit: 5 Stars
Skyhooks were a radical change to an Australian rock scene used to apeing the international trends .Their first album,LIVING IN THE SEVENTIES,took the chart by the throat with songs that expressed the obsessions and frustrations of being a young Australian(six of the tracks were banned from radio).Feelings were ripe among the critics that the followup album would be anticlimatic at best. How wrong they were.Bassist and head songwriter Greg Macainsh had a swag of songs available due to constant gigging.EGO IS NOT A DIRTY WORD attained triple platinum status easily and spawned two hit singles.Macainsh was very good at writing satirical ditties on life,and love in the suburbs. LOVE'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH refected the swinger set. EVERY CHASE A STEEPLE told of the ratrace. SMARTARSE SONGWRITERS was a payoff to all those rock lyricists who claim to write the meaning of life in their songs.MERCEDES LADIES showed the empty lives of rich society women.SATURDAY NIGHT was a typical night out for a surban youth.All through EGO,the biting wordplay was backed up by smartly arranged rock'n'roll.The vocal gymnastics of Graeme "Shirley" Strachan have to be heard to be believed.The tour to support EGO was a first for Australia;fifteen tonnes of equipment, including a giagantic mushroom(Mushroom was their record label)which exploded at the show's zenith. If you're looking for guitar boogie with intelligent lyrics,then latch onto the Skyhooks and EGO IS NOT A DIRTY WORD.
