If you were thinking about it...get it!.......2004-02-11

Ok...this cd is so good. it was a chance encounter that i heard of this band and im so happy i did. My favotire cd right now, its the only one i've listened to for a while. It may be short but its well worth it. The songs are full of energy. Screams, singing, guitars and some crazy drumming. Definitly worth getting.

hmmm........2002-02-09

i had never heard these guys before... then they played at my school and i thouhgt they were great. so i bought the cd. it opens up with a quote from gladiator: "on my mark, unleash hell" automatic whupass material right there. and it doesn't hurt that there isn't a bad song on the cd. the two guitarists compliment each other in perfect stereo sound while the singer screams out his anger. crazy canadians. i would recomend this if you like american nightmare or poison the well.

also the singer somewhat resembles jack black. booyah.

Quirky, interesting band.......2005-02-01

I've heard two albums by the Balancing Act. This one, and "3 Cards and a Roof". Though I like "3 Cards" a bit better, this is a fine album from an overlooked band. I'd describe them as an alternative/folk band. Lyrically very quirky, strangely comical, tight harmonies and deft accoustic/light electric guitar playing. I'd compare them favorably to early R.E.M.

Jordan Macarus - "Balancing Act" (from Chicago-Music-Scene).......2000-11-02

This is one of those albums that has to grow on you. "Balancing Act" by the Jordan Macarus Band is a good album. But the first couple listens, it doesn't stand out. There is some amazing guitar work on it that is noticeable from the onset. But it doesn't grab you. Slowly, though, it begins to seep into your subconscious and you find yourself listening to it over again and starting to get into it.

Jordan's song-writing is from the old school of the rock singer-songwriter. The songs themselves are well-done with some excellent musicianship displayed. The lackluster vocals are what cause the album to be a slow starter. Jordan's voice is not bad and he can sing, especially on the title track, but it's different and takes getting used to. After a while, you accept them and start to truly enjoy the album.

Whatever may be lacking in the vocals Jordan provides is more than made up for with his thrilling guitar work. He's one of those few guitarists that make those strings truly come alive. Put a mic in Jordan's hand and you'll be entertained. Put a guitar in his hands and you'll be moved. Nowhere on the album is this more evident than on "Trial By Fire." An instrumental that conveys more meaning and emotion than any of the tracks with lyrics.

Not that Jordan doesn't have anything to say unless he's playing his guitar. The album is filled with thought-provoking lyrics. The strongest of which are found on the title track, such as: "You can lead them to the picture, but you cannot make them see just what you see." But it's the music that truly shines on the album. With Jordan's guitar backed up by some impressive players, the tracks have a quiet intensity that can't be ignored. (Reviewed By Eric J. Olsen)

Jordan Macarus - Balancing Act (from Edge of Time Magazine).......2000-10-09

Jordan Macarus should be familiar to Edge of Time readers for his work with the legendary Winterhawk. Since his Winterhawk days, Jordan has been involved in numerous musical endeavours and "Balancing Act" sees Jordan surrounded by a range of different musicians. In fact, apart from Jordan's unique style of guitar playing, "Balancing Act" does not have that much in common with vintage hard rock of Winterhawk. The nine songs are more in the folksy and bluesy rock vein with a dominant role for the acoustic guitar and guest starring roles for the violin and harmonica (giving some of the songs that characteristic honky tonk sound). Although the songs might not be everyone's taste the talented songwriting and exquisite playing demand respect. The mood is mostly laid back and tranquil with an emphasis on bringing across emotions. It is only in a few songs that the wolf drops his sheep clothing and Jordan really pulls out all the stops. Examples are the title track with some of the best twin guitar soloing heard this year and the 9 minute epic "Wall of Fire" which starts peacefully before building up to a frenzy of intense guitar playing. Spine chilling, and the fact some of the songs were partly recorded live makes it even more jaw awe inspiring. It certainly tranquillises the agony of the wait for long-planned Winterhawk live album.(CR)

Jordan Macarus Review from Chaos Realm web zine.......2000-09-19

JORDAN MACARUS - "Balancing Act" CD '00 (Monster, US) - Jordan has been my ultimate guitar player, in any genre of music, ever since I heard the monolithic Winterhawk LP of 1982. Here, Mr. Macarus keeps that role more than alive with a sterling set of 9 cuts. They range from the timeless, folk-like simplicity of "Pointless War" and "Pvt. Unknown" to the involved hard rock epics of the title cut and the massive 9 min "Wall Of Fire." Thru it all, Jordan fronts his band with veteran ease. His throaty vocals convey more emotion than most operatic singers and his guitarwork is devastating. I have never heard a person who can combine both technical ability and sheer, raw feeling the way this guy can. No words can describe it, you must hear! http://www.planetjordan.com http://www.monsterrecords.com
