Free Music Notes for Welcome To The North
Free Music Review: Very Refreshing! England never disappoints me.
Hit: 5 Stars
When I first saw The Music, it was on MtvU, a campus version of Mtv- without all the pop crap. Instead it has videos of groups like Interpol, Razorlight, and unknown bands just starting out. When I saw the video for "Breakin" I thought, I gotta check this band out . I'd also heard that their music was very similar to groups like The Who, U2 and Led Zeppelin. Being the Zeppelin fanatic that I am, that further encouraged me to buy the cd. And being a huge fan of Zeppelin tends to make one become very picky when it comes to other music, so The Music would have a lot to live up to in my cd collection, next to Zep, Who, U2, Beatles... but they do an excellent job of it! The Music has all the qualities of an English arena-rock band who's sound brings out the groupie side in the most innocent of girls: a curly haired singer with presence, soaring choruses, power chords, and -the best part- guitar /drum solos. What's not to love? Their sound relies heavy on the vocals of Robert Harvey and the lead guitarist Adam Nutter, but they're not afraid to incorporate some timpani, a couple tambourines, (hey, why not?) and is that some type of Middle Eastern instrument I hear in the title track? It's very obvious they are comfortable in their skin and with their music, and perform it without fear. That confidence carries throughout this entire record. Each song is powerful, even the toned -down ballads "Into the Night" and "Fight the Feeling" with it's 1-2-3 waltz tempo, are gentle without being covered in syrupy lyrics that would make most people gag. (By this point in my first listen, I began searching the internet for their tour dates.) And if you like instrumentals, you'll like "Open Your Mind" the most, as Robert steps back and just lets the band jam, to end the record. The perfect ending. Tracks that really stand out: (including afore mentioned ballads)
"Welcome to the North" - a "Won't Get Fooled Again" for the new millennium. Very dynamic. This will sound amazing live.
"Freedom Fighters" - happy, very happy. Go ahead, dance and sing along ! "sing this song...dance for the freedom!"
"Bleed from Within"- the rhythm section shines. Gotta love Rob's "ugh ugh ugh" grunts during the bridge.
"Breakin"- I bet Maroon5 wishes they'd written this song. Awesome Awesome Awesome song. Rhythm section is still shining brightly. A happy song about paranoia.
"Cessastion" - Beautiful. Layered vocals and interesting arrangement. Another song I'm dying to hear live.
"Guide"- Robert's ode to his parents. That's pretty rare in rock music, but they pull it off wonderfully.
This record was made in Atlanta, GA- by the sound of this cd, our Southern air (or beer) must really agree with them. Really, there's not a bad track on this record. Worth every penny. Buy a copy now, and hold on to it- this kind of fun rock cd will still be a good listen ten years from now. And since this band hasn't hit the very top yet, they're only going to get better and that means their masterpiece is on the way and I'm looking forward to it. This band deserves every success- they deserve to be HUGE. Zeppelin or U2 huge. LONG LIVE THE MUSIC! Let the NEW British Invasion begin!

The Music are nothing if not confounding. Their second album, Welcome to the North would, based on its title alone, suggest that this quartet wear their Northern England roots on their sleeve. But rather than producing yet another tired Oasis or Stone Roses pastiche, the Music decamped to the distinctly un-Northern town of Atlanta, Georgia to work with renowned rock producer Brendan O'Brien (best known for working with Pearl Jam and Soundgarden). The results are thrilling--an over-the-top, bombastic album that often manages to combine the rock power of Led Zeppelin with the epic psychedelia of Jane's Addiction (helped by frontman Robert Harvey's vocal similarities to Perry Farrell and drummer Phil Jordan's breakneck drumming, reminiscent of Stephen Perkins). And though the lyrics occasionally venture into pretension (really, who says "mine eyes" anymore?), they're made forgivable by the power of tracks like "Freedom Fighters" and "Bleed from Within" (which even boasts a drum solo). In fact, the only outright homage to their Northern indie heritage is "I Need Love", with a danceable, New Order-esque bassline that drives the whole thing along. But generally, they stick to their guns instead of their roots, making Welcome to the North a great rock album. --Robert Burrow
