If it took me a couple months to decide if this was a listenable hard rock record, just how listenable can it be? Well, Todd Rundgren's production is a big improvement for one--the drums have real punch now, Craig Frost's organ fills nicely, and Don Brewer's singing comes as a relief. Great single, too. B-

Except for the spavined "Dancing With Mr. D," and the oxymoronic "Can You Hear the Music," these are good songs. But the execution is slovenly. I don't mean sloppy, which can be exciting--I mean arrogant and enervated all at once. Mick's phrasing is always indolent, but usually it's calculated down to the last minibeat as well; here the words sometimes catch him yawning. Without trying to be "tight" the band usually grooves into a reckless, sweaty coherence; here they hope the licks will stand on their own. Only on "Starfucker," the most outrageous Chuck Berry throwaway of the band's career, does this record really take off. B

Two LPs ago, Bernie Taupin passed on his way from obscure banality to clean, well-lighted banality to write a batch of imaginative lyrics, and set to those lyrics John's music sounded eclectic but not confused. Too often now it seems to chatter on anonymously. The title cut is good, "Bennie and the Jets" is great, side four is good-to-great, and a few other songs here would probably benefit from more exclusive company, but this is one more double album that would make a nifty single.

This one opens with "Gimme All Your Money, Please", about a mugging rather than the band's artistic ambitions. Pretty soon I started noticing all the usual metal moves but found myself enjoying the rest of the side, anyway--it may have been simple-minded but it was fast. Wonder if they take checks? B

Unlike Tommy, this one really is a kind of opera--first you get to know the music, then you sit down with the libretto and concentrate for eighty minutes. Even with the synopsis (as brilliant a piece of writing as Townshend's ever done) and lyrics, its account of a young Mod's "double schizophrenia" can be pretty confusing, partly because confusion is his subject. The music is cluttered with horns and unnecessarily shrill, so that--despite its considerable melodic (and motivic, as they say) pizzazz--you don't play it for fun. But if Townshend's great virtue is compassion, this is his triumph--Everykid as heroic fuckup, smart enough to have a good idea of what's being done to him and so sensitive he gets pushed right out to the edge anyway.

The title's as perfect as the band's latest symbol--a $, its "S" transformed into a two-headed snake. No outrage Alice has concocted equals the frank, sweaty greed of his current success. Oddly, though, this blatant profit mechanism is his most consistent album--even the song about (mercy me) necrophilia is tolerable, just like the song about tooth decay. But without a "School's Out" or an "I'm Eighteen"--neither "No More Mr. Nice Guy" nor "Elected" quite makes the grade--there's nothing to tempt anyone back to the new improved filler. B

This attempt to turn Nelson into a star runs into trouble when it induces him to outshout Memphis horns or Western swing, and his unaccompanied-acoustic version of "A Song for You" takes some getting used to. After a while, though, you notice that you're noticing every song. And then you realize that the two you notice most--the slyly vengeful "Sad Songs and Waltzes" and the cuckold's tragedy "She's Not for You"--are also the two oldest. A star, eh? B+

In which David Bowie remembers the world's forgotten boy long enough to sponsor an album and then proceeds to thin the mix down slimmer than an epicurean's waist. The side openers "Raw Power" and "Search and Destroy" voice the Iggy Pop ethos more insanely and furiously than anything since "I Wanna Be Your Dog." But James Williamson's guitar aside, the rest disperses in their wake. B

Having decided rock-and-roll was fun, a good enough idea within reason, he then determined that fun consisted not so much of sex and energy and high spirits as it did aimless whimsy and here he finally achieves disaster with that idea.

I originally underrated what many consider McCartney's definitive post-Beatles statement, but not as much as its admirers overrate it. Pop masterpiece? This? Sure it's a relief after the vagaries of Wild Life and Red Rose Speedway, and most of side one passes tunefully enough--"Let Me Roll It" might be an answer to "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and "Jet" is indeed more "fun" than "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey." But beyond those two the high points are the title track, about the oppression of rock musicians by cannabis-crazed bureaucrats, and the Afro-soul intro to "Mamunia," appropriate from relatives of the Nigerian children who posed for the inner sleeve with Sah and helpmates.

This comes down to a nice equation of folk duo and soul falsetto group, brought together with the best vocal and production pyrotechnics a studio can afford.

In the beginning Maurice White created Hummit Music. But not until the morning of the fourth album did he come up with a tune to match, complete with sweet clear harmonies and sinuous beat. Catchy title, too: "Evil," to be dispersed by prayer. Most of the first side keeps up the good work, although only rarely--as on the falsetto climax of "Keep Your Head to the Sky"--is it quite as transcendent physically as the lyrics would seem to demand. But the mood jazz excursion on side two exposes White's essential fatuousness. "Zanzibar," it's called, as befits a travelogue; its saxophone solo (by Ronnie Laws's replacement, Andrew Woolfolks) could make Alice Coltrane blush. B-

The Stevie Wonder-composed title track isn't blues or even soul--it's one of those slow, funky grooves that smolders along for minutes before you notice you're dripping from the heat, and it almost justifies the lame idea of sending King into Sigma Sound with Dave Crawford.

"The Angel" and "Mary Queen of Arkansas" are turgid unaccompanied-acoustic horrors that could scare anybody off this particular Dylan hype. But the jokey lingo and absurdist energy of everything else are exactly the excesses that made Dylan a genius instead of a talent--it takes real conviction to save "But did not heed my urgency" with "Your life was one long emergency." Even urban-mythos rambles like "Lost in the Flood" are not without charm. And in songs like "Growin' Up" and "Blinded by the Light" there's an unguarded teen-underclass poetry that has Springsteen's name on it. B+

In which everything that was raunchy and country about her is ironed in Dave Geffen's laundering machine, abetted by John David Souther who must have told her "Sail Away" was just another pretty song. You think she's gotten so used to playing the dumb bimbo that she's started to become one? C

Just a second rate David Bowie rip off, who's only reason that he's more famous and well know is that he sucks more dicks than David Bowie.
Mind you, this is a good album with some great songs/music, but facts are facts.
I mean, this album is selling like hot cakes, while The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars still sits in the cutout/bargain bins at your local record store.
Plus I don't like how Elton puts David down on Benny and The Jets.

This is a great album, but it was deliberately made for a British audience, only.
I mean, The Who are good, and maybe the strength of the songs/music might make it popular outside of England, but what does the average American Who fan, who, incidentally only discovered The Who after hearing Tommy, know about Mods and Rockers?

It even says in the liner notes that this album is dedicated to all the fans that originally saw them at The Goldhawk Road Social Club in 1964.
The music is the only thing that's going to save this album, because everything else is going to go over the fans heads if they don't know anything about British youth subcultures.

A better-than-average Parton album in many ways, but beyond the usual dull spots two cuts really bother me. Often her genteel aspirations are delightful--who else would pronounce it "o'er our heads," just like in poetry books, instead of slurring "over"? But when her sentimentality becomes ideological--"Babies save marriages," or "Stop protesting and get right with God"--you remember why most great popular artists have rebelled against gentility. B

Me and my friend, Eugene, (He calls himself "Cheetah" for some reason) think that rock and roll is gonna make a come back, and be raw and dangerous again.
We love Alice Cooper, The New York Dolls, and Iggy and The Stooges, and they have inspired us to form our own band. We're gonna practice real hard, because we believe in ourselves. We're gonna get out of Ohio, and make it big time.
In honor of The New York Dolls, we're gonna call our band Frankenstein.
Look for us, soon.

Fuck, I wouldn't be surprised if she inspired other women to pick up guitars and rock out as hard as she does.

I still can't decide if this album is going to save rock and roll, or make all music obsolete.
I also can't decide if the way it's mixed is a good or bad thing.
I don't like the fact that I have to turn my stereo up to even hear it, but, on the other hand, if it was any louder, I think it would destroy the whole neighborhood, but if you live where I live, maybe the annihilation of my block wouldn't be such a terrible thing.

I can't believe that David Bowie was involved in this.

I haven't heard the album yet, but, believe me when I tell you that they put on one Hell of a show.
They were very energetic, and had the whole place jumpin'.
And their singer, Bruce, (I forgot his last name) was a pretty down to earth kind of person. I even had a beer with him.
I hope success won't spoil them.
Oh, yeah, the other guitar player, Steve, and their sax player also know their stuff, and keep the energy going.

Once again, foreigners take U.S. music, imitate it, and put out something slightly better.
I mean, what do Australians know about Country music, anyway?
She's actually good enough to be on Hee Haw.
I hope she sticks to country, and doesn't try to expand her musical horizons.
Stick with what you know, and do best, sweetheart.
If people can accept a black man like Charlie Pride doing country, they ought to welcome this little Australian lady with open arms.
She's no Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, or Loretta Lynn, but she can hold her own with the best of them, in my honest opinion.

Says S. Pearlman: "We want to be disgusting, not trans-repulsive." Says R. Meltzer: "This is really hard rock comedy." Musically, Long Island's only underground band impales the entire heavy ethos on a finely-honed guitar neck, often at high speed, which is the punch line. And the lyrics aren't inaudible, just unbelievable--a parody-surreal refraction of the abysmal "poetry" of heavy, with its evil women and gods of hellfire. Which is not to suggest that it doesn't become what it takes off from. But is that bad or good? B+

Big Year for the Allman Brothers Band - #1 single Ramblin' Man

But also- Gregg had his first solo album with the definitive version of Midnight Rider

Unusually reasonable review from cuckman. Good single don't care about the album

I dig the singles on the local Boston radio, but the record is not worth the money, Aerosmith will probably be forgotten unless the next album is suddenly really great

Might pick this one up but it seems like they're trendchasing

My friend lent me this record and buzzed it up. Waste of time, should've just got The Real Me single

Paul continues to be proven the talent of the Beatles, but he still needs George and John around to keep him from getting too grandma

I didn't post this one (the Duke's last LP) because it didn't come out in the US until '74. It might actually be listenable with enough weed.

wrong album and year, their '73 release was Ecstasy not Pleasure. much more soul on the Westbound albums and not as party funk as the Mercury ones.

>Todd Rundgren's production
Speaking of which, his latest record - Something/Anything? - seems pretty good.

I hope his next record is as pop-radio accessible.

Yeah he might be the best melody writer around. I couldn't picture him doing some whacked out experimental shitpost album.
