Free Music Notes for It's Hard

Free Music Review: it's not hard to listen to this great album
Hit: 5 Stars

It's hard to believe this album is STILL getting criticized. I thought by now people would begin to realize there's some great songwriting and exciting vocal melodies on this album, but I guess many fans wanna stick with Tommy and Quadrophenia.

The title song is a pop rock classic with its powerful lyrics and catchy chorus. The sad feeling is strongly evident in the lyrics. "Eminence Front" is the biggest hit, and it's quite good. It sounds like it would have been a bigger hit during the disco era.

"Athena" is my personal favorite song, with a verse melody that instantly catches my attention with its positive vibes and upbeat verse melody. Funny story- I actually though the chorus went like this "She's just a girl... she's a boy", haha. I had those lyrics WAY wrong!

"One at a Time" is a faster track, and highly memorable. Again, the vocals are the main reason it's so great. "Cooks County" has some meaningful lyrics you should pay attention to, and the sadness creeps in near the end with the beautiful "A Man is a Man". Great vocals once AGAIN. "Cry If You Want" is another highlight because of... ahem, the drumming? Nope, because of the *vocals*!

You won't find any flashy drumming, any wild swirling guitar playing, or bass work that will knock your socks off. Instead you'll find surprisingly underrated vocals and melodies.
