Free Music Review: My Introduction from Classic Rock
Hit: 5 Stars
For the past five years, all I listened to was classic rock, and then for a moment, classical. So, as you can imagine, all that came from The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Who, etc., bombarded me, and I still went further into the depths of classic rock. In particular, I found that I loved the best of Progressive Rock and Power Pop, but when I thought about making the music industry my career, I realized that I would need to listen to some new music. For me, the easy transition that I was looking for would be with a band that seemed to be both popular in the modern day, as well as power pop. That's where The New Pornographers came in. It's not fair to simply call them power pop, but it seemed to me that it fit the genre close enough. In any case, I downloaded this first album of theirs, and I instantly loved it, or at least parts of it. After listening to it six times since a little more than two months ago, along with all of their other albums, I truly believe that this is their best album by a mile. Everything about this album was new, yet familiar, and I especially loved all of the vocal harmonies that run through the entire album. I can confidently say that this even rivals many of the classic rock albums that I own, and I am glad to have made the step into this era of music.
Mass Romantic Poster
The debut of this Vancouver indie supergroup led by Zumpano's Carl Newman sent critics scrambling to the early '80s and mid '60s for power-pop forebears, and it sent everyone else bouncing down the street and shouting out car windows. In a happily urgent record full of tight harmonies and cryptic storytelling, the high point undeniably remains the great single "Letter from an Occupant," which rides Neko Case's country-crooner voice nearly off the rails. --Tom NissleyAlternative Rock Music CDs
