Free Music Notes for Fabled City

Free Music Review: Excellent follow up and improvement over One Man Revolution
Hit: 5 Stars

Being a fan of Tom Morello's previous work, I checked out his first Nightwatchman solo album, "One Man Revolution", knowing he compared it to old Springsteen and Dylan. With that in mind I initially wasn't a big fan of the album after I heard it, but it didn't take long for it to grow on me, and it's actually one of the albums I listen to the most the last year or so.

So, about a year later, he releases his second solo album, "The Fabled City". I had heard "Whatever It Takes" on his website, and actually got excited about this second album.

I'm not gonna go off and make dramatic claims like "he's matured" or "he can only play one style of music for so long" ... this is a very talented musician who wanted to try something new. On this new album I believe he's learned from his first effort ( which was good, but a bit inconsistant ). On "The Fabled City", there is more of a "band" sound to it. There are songs in the veign of his first album, but they sound more polished and energetic on this album.

Songs to check out if you haven't heard The Nightwatchman or if you just want a sample from this album...

"The Fabled City" -- "folky" sounding, but with more energy and just a better song than a typical track on the first album

"Whatever It Takes" -- one of the better songs on the album, you can hear it on his website

"The Lights Are On In Spidertown" -- very catchy song, with a very cool solo

"Lazerus On Down" -- just a really good song, features Serj Tankian, who sings background vocals ... his vocals are haunting

...these aren't my favorite songs, these are the songs I think will appeal to more people.

If you haven't heard this album, it's different, it's very good, I highly recommend giving it a listen ... at least checking out a couple of songs.
