Free Music Notes for Parallel Play
Free Music Review: Some classics and some filler.
Hit: 3 Stars
NHTEOI was sucky. There are maybe 2 songs out of "30" that would go in a Sloan playlist. But this disc has 3 classics: Believe In Me, Burn For It and Witches Wand. Andrew's experiments in punk and reggae are ok but nothing to worry about. The Dylan rip off, "Down In The Basement" was fine at first listen but quickly grew tiresome. Like Bob Dylan! Patrick Pentland OWNS this band. Ha ha. But where is Chris Murphy's tunefulness? He used to be so good and poppy. It was nice to see who could top the other between him and Patrick. But now it seems you can pretty much skip his songs the way you do most of Andrew's and Jay's. None of his contributions on this album are worth a replay. My advice is buy the disc to help the guys make a buck and turn up the "barbed wire heart" part of Burn For It reeeeally loud. It will make you forgive the boring excess of NHTEOI and the rest of the filler that's come along ever since Pretty Together and remember the gold era of OCTA, Navy Blues and BTB.
Parallel Play Poster
The boiled down brother to their 30 song magnum opus ''Never Hear the End of It'',''Parallel Play'' is the latest from power pop royalty Sloan. Less a conscious answer to NHTEI's unabridged creative approach, ''Parallel Play'' is a continuation of the musical concepts put forth on their last album and a further exploration of the band's four-songwriter dynamic. A term taken from the science of developmental psychology, ''Parallel Play'' is a behavior seen in young children in which they enjoy independent activities in the company of other children, something the four boys in Sloan know a lot about. As per their unique musical modus operandi, the members of Sloan wrote songs independently and then joined forces in the studio to produce yet another album of timeless, guitar-driven pop. For Sloan, ''Parallel Play'' proves once again that four times the songwriters equals four times the rock. ''Parallel Play'' will also be available on vinyl.The boiled down brother to their 30 song magnum opus Never Hear the End of It, Parallel Play is the 2008 album from power pop royalty Sloan.
