Free Music Notes for Broken Boy SoldiersFree Music Review: I like this album every bit as much as CONSOLERS OF THE LONELY
I was very surprised to discover that I like this album every bit as much as CONSOLERS OF THE LONELY. The dominant sentiment seems to be that CONSOLERS OF THE LONELY, their second album, is their breakthrough album. I think this album is just as strong as that one. I've been listening to it for long stretches on the road and progressively I've been sinking deeper and deeper into it. I like every song but the stand out for me is "Broken Boy Soldier". It has that raw, raspy rock blues twang to it that I just love. Plus there is the tinkle of a triangle throughout that I think is the perfect counterpoint. If one could put deep needle scratches into a groove on a CD, then this is the song which would be a mess on my album. My next favorite, which is beginning to give my first choice a run for the money is "Blue Veins" and for roughly the same reasons. By contrast, I like the crowd pleaser favorite on this album, STEADY AS SHE GOES, but it is very harmonious and unraw so it is a bit too "nice" for me. I do realize though that you have to have something for everyone and that is the song which won most polls (NPR for example). The number one reason I bought this album was because Jack White is part of the band. I haven't enjoyed a musician this much since the late Chet Baker was performing. He is an incredible talent.
