Free Music Notes for Wild Gift
Free Music Review: AMERICAN MUSICAL CLASSIC
Hit: 5 Stars
THIS was the Years "BEST" by Time Magazine! TRULY a great American Music milestone. The "USA version of London Calling".
These kids were ORIGINAL as hell. Never matched and still refreshing to hear. 5 stars. White Girl, Adult Books are standouts.
Wild Gift Poster
Though a small handful of its 13 songs predate Los Angeles, X's second album represents a giant leap forward for the band. Wild Gift stands as one of the 1980s' most fully realized rock & roll LPs. John Doe and Exene Cervenka bring altogether more personal and biting lyrics to the mic, making for riveting, curiosity-promoting performances. ("If I wrote a song like 'White Girl,'" Doe tells critic Kristine McKenna in this remaster's liner notes, "there was an unspoken pact that this may happen, but I love you more.") From the metallic riff of "It's Who You Know" to the surf-wise lines of "In This House That I Call Home," guitarist Billy Zoom is given freer rein, while drummer D.J. Bonebrake fuses the Ramones and Beefheart to enduring effect on "We're Desperate" (improved from an early single version by a slight lyric change). And "Back 2 the Base" and "Year 1" stand out as two of the most complex statements about punk's icon-smashing impulses ever. The 45-rpm take of "We're Desperate" is included here, along with six other bonus tracks. Shut up and smoke. --Rickey WrightAlternative Rock Music CDs
