Free Music Notes for Mountain Battles
Free Music Review: The Breeders are Back--Good show.
Hit: 5 Stars
The Breeders are back. I for one, am glad.
They bring the spare, stripped down sound that one can always enjoy, along with Kim Deal's marvelous voice.
The songs are a remarkable pastiche of ideas.
A pleasure.
Cheers.
Free Music Review: The Breeders Are Back!
Hit: 5 Stars
What a great surprise this is. I thought Title TK was a pretty good album but I never got to know all the songs on that albums all that well as I got bored over time. Mountain Battles, however, has been in full rotation since I got it last week. It's not only a very diverse record, but interesting. Standout tracks include Walk It Off, Overglazed, German Studies, No Way, Bang On and Night of Joy. It's so good to hear new Kim Deal again and that's one thing we would be without had the Pixies made a new album. If you like the Breeders, and not just for Cannonball and Divine Hammer, definitely pick up this cd!!!!Free Music Review: always genuine, and a little weird in the good way
Hit: 5 Stars
Mountain Battles takes you places. It's not an easy journey to make in small steps (so I wouldn't rely on short samples to get there). It seeps in with repeated listens over time.
I've found that there's pretty much a track for any mood on the record. I might jump in a soft spot like "Night of Joy" to color a quiet moment. Reflect on life and stuff.
Looking for a boost, I'd skip to "Walk It Off" - as hook-laden and bright as anything in the Breeders catalogue.
Up-tempo or down, it's solid.
Every single track has a decided vibe, with little details that creep out of the corners and tease playfully. It's always genuine, and a little weird in the good way.
No matter where I jump in, I always stick around for the rest of the short ride that is Mountain Battles.
It's like a whole lifetime was crammed in there, and it whets the appetite for more.
If you love The Breeders work, the lot of it, not just a single -- you'll very likely love this album. Give it a bit of attention, it will offer reward.
Free Music Review: To all you Breeders fans..you will soon be addicted.
Hit: 5 Stars
The first time I listened to this CD I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. I thought it might be a little too experimental for my tastes. (I felt that way with Title TK too and soon after couldn't get enough of it and still can't) But, the second time around I really started getting into it. To me it sounds like a perfect mix of Pod and Title TK. If you are a true Breeders fan, you will love it. My advice is before you form your opinion, listen to it at least 2 or 3 times. Best songs on the album in my opinion are Overglazed, Walk it Off, German Studies, No Way, It's the Love. Now after listening to it about 7 times I am addicted.... Free Music Review: Sounds more like The Pixies...
Hit: 4 Stars
...than The Breeders,if "Last Splash" is your benchmark for Breeder-ness. Of course, you could do a lot worse than sounding like The Pixies, so still worth getting.
