Cash has never been this good again, though Interiors remains criminally underheard in a world that buys Sarah McLachlan's ruminations by the million. --Rickey Wright

You didn't miss this one did you?.......2005-10-05

I love this music, such a sweet groove. From grunge to pop to blues to soul in no particular order. You'll find a song that you like and as you listen to the other songs you'll realize what a treat the whole album is, just dont give up. If you find yourself liking this, get their other albums and get Satchel as well, trust me.

I love this CD! .......2005-01-21

I love this CD. I have listened to track 2, The Day Brings, so many times, it's getting worn out. This is one of my all time favorites. I always have it with me in the car. I just never get tired of listening to it. If you don't own it, you should.

WOW! Can this Smith guy sing!.......2004-04-22

Let's face it-Shawn Smith has got to be one of the FINEST,
purest vocalist in the R n' R genre. Whether singing in a
beautiful, willowy falsetto or belting out a crunching uptempo
rocker, Shawn just easily and masterfully pulls it off.
Listening to "Interiors" you'll hear shades of Steven Tyler,
Neil Young, Ian Anderson, and, mostly, the late great Lowell
George of Little Feat. And the music...it seamlessly shimmers
and sways. Head over heels better than their first release.
No sophomore slump here. "Interiors" is an absolute center-
piece of Mr. Smith showing off his amazing vocal talents.
A stunning disc that has matured as gracefully as a bottle of
white bordeaux.

another round please.......2002-09-05

this is an album that grows on you..like a fungus. you feel it on you but you can't shake it off. Smile, close your eyes and let songs like 'upon my shoulders' and funeral song take you away. Sometimes gloomy, sometimes upbeat, always slick.

Pearl Jam meets Satchel in a groovy touching effort!.......2002-04-10

In their second release, lead guitarist Stone Gossard and singer Shawn Smith manage to accomplish a mature groovy album where riffs do not rule songs, and where ppiano and bass play a key role in the tunes.
Brad distinguish themselves because of their arrangements and peculiar songs. Production in this album is great as well as sound quality.
"circle and line" is a wonderful song, the piano plays accurately a supporting role, fulfilling the song each step of the way, making you feel everything even more.
"some never come home" is touching and amazing. the lyrics are heartfelt and pure. the bass is warm and leads way to the tune while the piano and guitar compliment it all quietly making thus a great impact that leads the listener until the final note.
Most notable on the album is "sweet al george" a cathy guitar led tune that rocks in a passive manner, and where the voice graciously uplifts the tone with the perfect amount of distortion. The chorus simply rocks!

If you are either a Satchel or PJ fan this cd is a must have.
If you like alt-rock acts, you will not be dissapointed by this uplifting yet tender album that manages to rock hard as well!!!

Most Fine.......2006-05-29

This is a raw and fine masterpiece. Sometimes it is hard to listen to because it is painful - that's where the raw part comes in. Every aspect of this album is excellent. I can't say enough about it. Just listen for yourself.

The songs as listed on this page are for King's Record Shop. Look at the other Interiors listing for the correct song list.

Her finest work.......2006-04-24

After becoming a Rosanne Cash earlier this year due to her new album, I decided to purchase all of her earlier work and I was completely blown away. I can't say she's ever released a bad album and "Interiors" is arguably her finest work to date. It's sparingly produced, full of passionate vocals and amazing lyrics. It's just a shame Rosanne's career after "King's Record Shop" has been largely ignored and undiscovered.

GREAT Reissue.......2006-04-22

Seemingly off-course by Cash's previous efforts and the only disk that is written and produced almost entirely by herself. Abandonment becomes the theme of the music and the record in general.

Musically the material is or could be based on the failure of Cash's marriage, but just as much is in regards to the failure of her parent's marriage decades earlier. The songs are bleak ("This World", "Dance w/the Tiger"), to the point ("Paralyzed", "Mirror Image") and microscopically hopeful ("I Want A Cure", "What We Really Want").

'Interiors' is also the most consistent album Cash has ever recorded and probably speaks to her true artistry than anything she's done. It's a shame she hasn't taken the helm of more her albums. Cash has captured her own songs better than anyone who has produced her previously.

Sony completely abandoned marketing of 'Interiors' when they realized it wouldn't produce four #1 hits like her previous disk and it failed to fall into any category. Nashville pretty much abandoned Cash too - but their loss was the gain for anyone who found this recording.

The quality of the remaster is superior to the original release. As for extras, this remaster didn't really need them - but we got them. I'm a huge fan of the two deleted tracks, Cash's own "Portrait" and a cover of World Party's "All Come True" - and have enjoyed them for years, but now that they are in sequence and that I'm used to this disk for the last 15 years, they seem out of place. They are still great tracks.

The two live cuts are great. Pristine and understated recordings. Very nice touch. It's not the easiest disk to listen to - but one I have enjoyed over the years and one I recommend whole heartedly.

The remaster is now copywrite protected, but I had no issue playing it my car, my laptop, ripping it to iTunes or loading to my iPod. I also had no issue w/the first reissue of the flawed Sony disk.

Amazon set list is wrong.......2006-03-25

I don't know what amazon's set list refers to but it DOES NOT refer to Cash's Interiors.

Rosanne At Her Best.......2006-03-18

Even though the subject of every song is not uplifting, it is still Rosanne at her BEST in writing and singing. This album made me a fan for life!!!

Very difficult to explain, but I love it.......2003-01-31

Clearly, this album is not for everybody. If don't like Robert Pollard's voice or Guided By Voices in general, don't bother buying this.

What the guys do is use really loud sounds to form the structure of many of the songs. Often the sounds (some of it is simply feedback, some of it I can not identify at all) are looped to create a rhythm which would normally be done by drums and bass. Pollard's mellow, melodic singing is a perfect compliment to the bombastic noises. The lyrics don't say a whole lot in particular. They are more like an additional instrument, kind of like many early Pink Floyd songs. The songs ebb and flow together very naturally, culminating in the more traditional GBV-esque "New You". While most GBV albums have a few expendible tracks, here the tracks all serve to sustain the mood and the tension. Because of this, I find it to be the most cohesive recording in Pollard's catalog. I never find myself wanting to skip individual tracks. I am either in the mood to listen to the whole thing or I am not.

To me this is the most interesting recording of 2001, one of the few that breaks any kind of musical ground. It is basically the direct opposite of Go Back Snowball's Calling Zero, which I thought was pretty boring.

another honorable mention?.......2002-10-10

While both TVT & Matador have failed to shift any serious units with the "proper" GBV records, Pollards Fading Captain Series represents the output that isn't even intended to take the world by storm and by one way of thinking these should be the records that are truly exciting. The truth is that the FC records are just as spotty as the main GBV stuff, but the Circus Devils gets points for making a truly frightening noise, its incredibly weird and rarely boring. The songs peeking through the weeds of damaged effects created by current GBV member Todd Tobias and his brother Tim are a successful backing for Pollard because much like the Go Back Snowball collaboration with Superchunks Mac Macaughan, the music doesn't sound like GBV, casting Pollards always winning voice into unfamiliar terrain. There's a certain spontaneity as if Bobs trying out for a band by just freestyling over their entire set. The hot spots on this one include the arty post-punk angularity of Buffalo Spiders and Ringworm Interiors (though, like a lot of cuts Bobs not really doing much on that one) Correcto makes dramatic use of spoken word and droning guitar. "Do we have another no-show? Another honorable mention?" I like Protect Thy Interests simply because "what are those noises!?" Lets Go Back To Bed is cool Syd Barrett type silliness and New You just simply kicks butt in a classic rock way not heard anywhere else on this CD. It sounds like a band that finally found a song, but is in serious danger of losing control of it, particularly the drummer. Like a lot of GBV stuff, there's plenty of filler, but get this one if you want to hear Bob doing some really whacked-out experimentation and don't mind a lot of racket. Skip it if you're looking for more of Bob's hooky songwriting.

Guided by Noises.......2002-03-20

This is one of the loudest Robert Pollard projects I've heard.
Todd & Tom Tobias provide the noises and guitars, and Robert Pollard fills in with the vocals. It would be easy to imagine that Pollard is really just phoning this stuff in - that he had nothing at all to do with the music - but just got the tapes, listened to them a few times, and then went through volumes 47 and 48 of his lyrics looking for things that might fit the music... but not looking too hard. But really it's not as bad as that. After all, the Tobias' aren't making heavy metal backgrounds for Pollard, they're making what sounds like loud Guided By Voices songs; lo-fi, short, sometimes catchy ditties. Middle tracks like Star Peppered and Silver Eyeballs are quite nice. On the tracks that are just instrumental though, there really is no Pollard input or imprint, well, there's just not much point to that.
In the grand canon of the side-projects, this one will probably not be near the top of many peoples' lists.
In the meantime there is the latest Airport 5 record with Pollard and Tobin Sprout, and the very cool Go Back Snowball album featuring Pollard and Mac from Superchunk, which are both quite good, and proof that Pollard's seemingly bottomless pit of songs is not yet dry and is all the confounding how he can keep it up.

Album Description

On Auto Interiors' debut, Let's Agree To Deceive Our Best Friends, the Cambridge, Mass rockers combine a balanced dose of '60s psychedelia, '70s arena rock and a dash of post-punk, aptly described by the band as "record collector rock." Auto Interiors are following in the footsteps of many noteworthy Boston bands as a highlight on the city's burgeoning college rock scene.

They have "got it figured out"........2007-03-31

Great CD!
One song in particular blew me away: "Science failed me"
To me, in this song, the band has found its formula.
It works at all levels.
Lyrically - interesting and abstract enough that anyone can relate to it, yet, not pretentious or preachy.
Melodically/Vocally/Harmonically - very catchy, great combination of voices and backing vocals are well placed
Dynamically - It soars; love the way it builds.
Rhythmically - Swingin' feel catches your attention and sets it apart from others in this market.
The mix itself - Very well done!

"Classic" is a bit hyperbolic.......2005-09-14

Rosanne Cash suffers from a double whammy: not fitting into comfortable stylistic niches that could ensure her more widespread airplay (and presumably popularity) and the double-edged sword of her surname.

This album probably ranks as her best attempt at breaking through those obstacles. It came just months before her marriage to Rodney Crowell crumbled and the songs deal exclusively with love in decay. Crowell himself sings on some of the most damning tracks and I can only assume it was thanks to our human tendency to not recognize ourselves ('You're really good at imagining OTHERS' pain, honey!').

HIGHLIGHTS:
Though her wedlock is a "misery-go-round" (as Cash says in the album opener), they're keeping up appearances in "On the Surface". ("What are you thinking tonight?/I don't know you/My words disappear in the night/And there's no one there to notice".) "Mirror Image" finds Cash and Crowell both numb ("No one takes time to look, they just stare"). "I Want a Cure" is Rosanne's soul screaming for it all to be over. ("There's one thing for sure/I want a cure/Where no one can see me/No one knows how I'm feeling..") "What We Really Want" examines the underlying hope of reconciliation even as both sides stay stoic. ("The woman silent in the mirror tonight/Wants to talk to your mirror man/And what they really want is love/What they really need is love") The tender waltz of "Paralyzed" belies its topic: Roseanne's picked up the phone and overheard hubby talking to his mistress. ("Our faces in pieces/Facades on the floor/The pretense between us for a moment destroyed..")

LOWS:
"Real Woman" wants to be a feminist anthem but it's too bland to achieve that. The comment another reviewer made about the excess polish of the studio hired guns is most noticeable here.

BOTTOM LINE:
This is NOT "Top 200 Albums of All Time" material. It's cohesive, sure, but in the sense that it maintains a fairly steady pace on a plateau..not because of a large number of soaring peaks. [C'mon is this REALLY as good as Pet Sounds? Folsom Prison? Rubber Soul?] Still, it's worth your time. Appreciators of Mary Chapin Carpenter and STEADY ON-era Shawn Colvin fans will probably be the most attuned to Rosanne's sound. This and KING'S RECORD SHOP are probably her best work.

3 1/2 stars

This is to music what Pyscho is to Movies.......2004-06-26

This CD will give you nightmares. Oh don't get me wrong, there is only one word for this CD -- BRILLIANT. But as I lay on the beach listening to this CD I couldn't help but wonder, what this poor girl went thru to be able to write such hauntingly beautiful, but disturbing songs. From "This World" she writes about a father murdering his child "He put a fist in her face." It thrills you the way you don't want to take a shower after watching Pyscho. Every song packs image after image. This is more poetry put to music than music itself. I cannot express how amazed I am at this CDs brilliance. However this CD is NOT for casual Rosanne Cash fans. With the exception of "On The Inside and possibly "Mirror Image," the songs on it do not have much commercial appeal but their artist merit is beyond reproach. If Shakespeare could write a modern CD it would sound exactly like this. It really makes you wonder what her life was like at the time she wrote this. Again BRILLIANT.

"Interiors" Warns of the Darkness of the Heart.......2004-03-25

Prime Cuts: What We Really Want, Paralyzed, On the Inside

Before there was Shania Twain and hubby Robert Lange, there was Rosanne Cash and Rodney Crowell. Crowell in his artistic and commercial ingenuity has produced and/or written a fleet of hits for then-wife Cash. Jointly, they have managed to lock in 10 country chart toppers through the 80s. On this sixth release, Cash dutifully thanks her man again for his "inspiration, love and partnership." If art truly reflects nature, and if Crowell really inspired these songs (which lean towards marital discord), then indeed trouble must had been on the line. In hindsight, this might have been true as the Cash-Crowell marriage did crumble months after this release.

"Interiors" is an aptly titled album. These ten songs unearth the emotional shoals that lurk beneath the surface of human politeness, gentility and superficiality. The utter lack of pretense and the confessional honesty in these songs flies in the face of the shallowness of what is passed along on country radio as hits. The album starts off on a good start with the perky "On the Inside." Setting the thematic pace for the album, "On the Inside" deals with the viciousness of betrayal and hurt. Similar in subject matter is "On the Surface." Though set at a slower tempo, "On the Surface" is disturbingly a duet with Crowell! Were they singing this song to each other?

Lead single, "What We Really Want," is again an introverted number. This time it deals with a desperate plea for personal intimacy. Melodically, "What We Really Want" is upbeat, radio friendly and not dissimilar to Cash's previous hit "Second to No One." It is also Cash's last shot at the country charts (peaking at number 19) before she called it truce with country music altogether. On the other hand, "I Want a Cure," is on the other extreme. It is essentially a rock song that Steve Nicks would be proud to call her own. "I Want to Cure" is proleptic of Cash's later rock oriented efforts. Not to be missed though is the excellent guitar solo from Steuart Smith on this number.

John Stewart, who wrote Cash's number 1 hit "Runaway Train," returns with the philosophical co-write, "Dance with the Tiger." "Dance with the Tiger" is by no means as catchy and it's a tad too metaphorical for radio appeal. Much better is "Real Woman." "Real Woman" is a female emancipation anthem bringing a temporal relief to this dark shadowy album. If released as a single, "Real Woman" could posit Cash back to country's lofty heights.

The album has two nerve wrecking moments. Those faint of heart had better be warned-"This World" has some gruesome lines about a father murdering his child in cold blood. Accompanied by a plaintive string arrangement, "This World" is a touching social commentary on the disintegration of the morals of our society. Things don't get more optimistic with the album's closer, "Paralyzed." Scanty clad only by a keyboard, here we have Cash's naked unnerving vocals recalling overhearing a phone conversation between her husband and his lover. This is spine chilling stuff-betrayal in its most atrocious form.

"Interiors" is definitely an album that needs to be listened with the right frame of mind. It can be far too depressingly to know that the human heart is dark and deceitful. But it's also the bravest and the most honest album Cash has had ever made. "Interiors" might not have awarded her as many charted singles as her previous album, but it has certainly won Cash critically accolades and acclaims. And I might add, rightly so.

A very beautiful album.......2002-03-11

This album is very personal. Rosanne Cash doesn't hide her feelings away. She celebrates her vulnerabilty very openly. And vulnerablity is just the other side of love. Great songs are "Dance With the Tiger", "Real Woman" and "What We Really Want". Outstanding is "This World", the most touching one of all songs that I know. It is very sad, very tender, caring, stirring up and full of love. If our lesson here on Earth is to learn how to love, then Rosanne Cash has learned her lesson.

A Hidden Gem!.......2002-03-03

This CD is a real hidden gem in the music world. Rosanne is comparable to such artists as Sarah McLachlan, Natalie Merchant, etc., but a lot of people see her only as a country artist. Every song on this CD is remarkable; honest, true music exploring relationships and everyday life. It's a shame this CD is out of print like so many other great CDs that get overshadowed by today's throw away pop stars like Brittany Spears. Also check out Rosanne's CD Seven Year Ache (also out of print). It includes two of the best female vocal songs ever recorded: Seven Year Ache and Blue Moon.

When I heard there was a new full length Ativin album out. I went out and bought it. I must say this is more musical than previous albums. When I say musical, I mean it's not a bunch of powerchords strung together to sound shocking. It is something special and timeless. Mr. Carothers and Dr. Burton worked around the clock on this one. This is Ativin Evolved. Just give it a try, I highly recommend it. It's not a "Slintstrumental." It's Ativintrilequismical Ephorchaical Aspenticsm!
