Free Music Notes for Beyond and Back: The X Anthology
Free Music Review: Raw Emotion is Good
Hit: 5 Stars
The raw sound on this album is incredible. I will only listen to "The world's a mess; It's in my kiss" if it's from this album. Her voice is so chaotic (and his is so controlled). Listening to it, I kept thinking, "This is how the song is meant to be performed." The sound quality of the whole collection is good enough to be raw and powerful, but not raw enough to be unpleasant.
The first disk is better than the second, but both include song versions that epitomize this band's unique union of man, woman and punk rock.
Simply beautiful. Sharp edges are good, in their voices and the music. If it's tame to the point of being "easy to listen to," then it's not any type of punk rock I want. Studio albums fail to capture punk rock as art 90% of the time, and this album is a good start if you appreciate live music.
Even if this is more "hardcore" than some albums X has released, I feel like I have to tell you that they are never as raw as Black Flag or the Germs.
Beyond and Back: The X Anthology Poster
This two-disc retrospective serves better as a wild gift to fanatical Xtremests rather than as a serviceable overview for the casual fan who never had much time for the band in the first place. Only 11 of the collection's 45 tracks were culled from the nine official albums released over a decade and a half span. Unlike a standard best-of, Beyond and Back is heavily weighted with demos, outtakes, rare singles, and live recordings. Some will no doubt bemoan the supplanting of studio recordings of high-tension band standards such as "The World's a Mess; It's in My Kiss," "The Once Over Twice," and "Johny Hit and Run Paulene" with raw, lo-fi alternates. Still, the candid approach certainly suits the band's original aesthetic, and there are a surplus of enticing rarities to be found that even dabblers will enjoy. --Steven StolderAlternative Rock Music CDs
