Free Music Notes for Us and Us Only
Free Music Review: Experimental....but still The Charlatans!
Hit: 5 Stars
Us and Us Only was the Charlatans first album with new and current keyboard player Tony Rogers (replacing the late Rob Collins). As far as Charlatans' albums go, it's fairly experimental and quite unlike the rest of the their albums. However, the trademark songwriting, vocals, instrumentation, and catchiness are all still there. This album took a while to grow on me, but once it did, I realized it's s GREAT album and vastly underrated in their catalog. Standout cuts for me would be the 8 minute long opener Forever, which builds up a slow, burning groove before exploding with the vocals, The Blond Waltz, The Blind Stagger, Senses, which again builds up before Tim Burgess' soaring vocals come in, the Dylan-esque A House Is Not a Home, and I Don't Care Where You Live and album closer Watching You. Also on this disc are a couple of quirky atmospheric pieces, Good Witch Bad Witchs, parts 1 and 2.
Overall, an excellent, experimental album from the Charlatans that's still great, and as I said, an overlook gem in their catalog. Check this one out!
Us and Us Only Poster
Quavering Hammond organ? Check. Sixties-throwback guitar riffs? Check. Climbing bass lines? Check. Ecstasy-blessed dreamscape that branded nearly all music coming out of Manchester, England, in the early '90s? Check again. With each new album, the Charlatans peel away the layers of hypnotic haze that enveloped their landmark debut, Some Friendly. Us and Us Only, their sixth studio release, reveals the core of the band's influences with greatest clarity. The opening track, "Forever," lives up to its name, an epic seven-and-a-half-minute free-wheeling tributary of free-association psychedelia. But after that, the jams are lifted nearly verbatim out of the Rolling Stones' proverbial songbook. The reigning "Madchester" champs don roots-rocker hats, as lead singer Tim Burgess occasionally works in his best Bob Dylan impression, the wah-wah gives way to twangy hooks, and piano and harmonica fill out melodies. Us and Us Only is an archetypically derivative album; but the honesty in its production has resulted in the Charlatans' most enduring collection. --Beth MassaAlternative Rock Music CDs
