Free Music Review: Very good but not earth shattering
Hit: 4 Stars
Sort of a Punk Exile on Main Street and how to deal with and co-op feeling cool with not acheiving the Stone's level of success. It sounds like the lead signer is in emotional duality over not getting to be more like Jagger and trying to deny it. But then I guess many Punk bands were and are dishonest about the idea they are cool philosophers working as a rock and roll cool version of Jesus. But then if I had this argument with Joe Lydon I might be left in a coma. Joe might consider being a Soccer Holligan for his next incarnation. Anyway this is a good work but like with that Horses album that the old farts at the Rolling Stone staff tell you is the greatest work ever- and I think Gilda Radner showed-up that one when she did the Rock Star- it is praised to the hilt like it is the Bible of music. It's not as overrated as Raw Power but to an extent like the later it lacks the force underneath the flash. Which is to say it's kind of plastic after you get past the exterior and not as artistically brilliant and like an art work like other fairly plastic work such as The Beatles by the Beatles or Revolver by the Beatles where Martin's work makes it sound as if the Beatles are not posers. Beats me how this album can continue to be called the Holy Grail and Second Coming when it is closer to one of the lower disciples- maybe not Timothy but certainly not Paul. Then at the same time a gem like Friend Opportunity by Deefhoof with its great art inserts goes virtually unnoticed. That trio really shows what kind of diversity you can get from Punk when you combine it with Art and the members didn't fizzle out over a lack of instant stardom either like typical American yuppies who want the rewards without the DIY and I add beautiful and cool struggle. Moon is in the area of a very good but not great album. Anotherwards it's not Velvet Underground & Nico But as the Jam said the public wants what the public gets so like them I think I'm going underground...
Marquee Moon Poster
A classic bit of punk rock from 1977, that classic year of punk. Whereas most of this New York City group's peers turned up the distortion, revved up the tempo, and stripped their songs down to tight three-chord anthems, Television did something startlingly different. Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd allowed themselves the space to develop clean, powerful, unexpected guitar leads. To top it off, Verlaine's songs were thought-provoking, memorable, danceable, and unlike anything else going. "Prove It" was the hit in England, but independent radio stations wore the grooves down on the title cut, "See No Evil," and the stunningly brilliant "Friction." --Percy KeeganAlternative Rock Music CDs
