Relient K's fifth CD is a diverse modern rock album that's so varied at times it sounds like a mix tape. "Take the Fifth" pulses with lush, Beach Boys-y harmonies, "Forgiven" is a piano-driven tune that sounds like early U2, and the dueling guitar feedback that opens "I Need You" displays deeper punk rock heaviosity. "Faking My Own Suicide"--a great tune powered by Death Cabby vocals, ironic yet playful lyrics, and a killer classic rock organ--seems destined for a movie soundtrack. The true standout is of course "Deathbed," an intense eleven minute ode to regret co-starring Jon Foreman of Switchfoot. Relient K have not only weathered lineup changes (the bassist and guitarist are new here) and mainstream success without "selling out" and foregoing their introspective messages of faith and hope. But they've made the best album in their career in the process. --Mike McGonigal

Same old Relient K.......2007-07-12

I was excited to finally get this cd after all the buzz about it. However I found myself a little empty after I listened to it. It had good lyrics although not as good as some of their previous albums and it had the good Relient K sound and I enjoyed it. I loved must have something right, the best thing and Give until theres nothing left. My only problem is that all the songs seemed to follow the same format and they didn't place many things to make the chourus or other lines differen then the previous. Other than that the cd's great.

Not the Relient K I know.......2007-07-05

I'm a long-time Relient K fan, but this new album just doesn't do anything for me. I was deeply disappointed in the music and the lyrics.

Some of the songs have that intentional ambiguity that song writers use to try to get secular air time. The most common technique is to write a song that is unclear: is this to God or to a girl? For instance is "I must have done something right" to God or to a girl? I don't think that it makes complete sense either way. Getting a Christian message out to non-Christians is the point, but the problem is that it means that people who are not Christian will never get the message.

A lot of the songs are talking about how messed up he is. Recognizing our brokenness and need for a savior is a necessary step towards salvation, but the songs stop short of pointing to WHO we need. It just comes off being gloomy and hopeless. "Devastation and reform" is an exception. It does mention God as the answer to the devastation he has created.

The last song, called "Deathbed" is a rambling ballad that goes on for 11 minutes. It is about a man dying of lung cancer recounting how he had messed up his life with alcohol, smoking, a bad marriage and divorce. It has some valid points about the destruction caused by dad's abandoning their families, drinking and smoking, premarital sex, etc. But at the end they tag on something about how he accepted Christ so now it's all ok. What I am missing is any indication that Christ transformed his life. When did he make this decision to follow Christ? How did his life change? It seems like he just wasted his life on bad choices and just used Jesus as his ticket to heaven at the end. Maybe the song is a warning to not be like that, but the point is dulled by the happy ending.

But it gets worse. The song "Faking my own suicide" is just disturbed. Maybe I just don't get it, but I can't find anything redeeming about that song. Is it supposed to be funny? Making light of suicide is not something I can appreciate.

Great new CD from Relient K!.......2007-07-05

This is a really good CD for anyone who likes Relient K's style that varies from punk to acapella... It follows the styles of many of their past CDS but also brings in some totally new styles... awesome album!

Another masterpiece.......2007-06-20

Relient K has been very consistent over the years, and remarkably, they have again raised the bar. This collection of songs rocks, in its entirety. Except for one 15-second interlude, every song is iPod-worthy. The album's opening track "Plead the Fifth" finds the guys skillfully harmonizing a cappella, Beach Boys style. Too bad it's only a minute and thirteen seconds long as it leaves the listener wanting more. The lead single, "Must Have Done Something Right" features a killer hook. Other strong tracks are "Forgiven" and "The Best Thing." The band finishes the album with a dramatic, eleven-minute song called "Deathbed", which tells the story of a man dying of lung cancer who reflects on his life and poor decisions, but recounts the night when he put his faith in Christ. And to top it off, Switchfoot's Jon Foreman sings the final verse. Enough said.

Some Good, Some Very Good, One Bad.......2007-06-15

Relient K is a group that has a sound that is very appealing to teenagers. My daughter really loves this CD.

I am more mixed on it. Most of the songs are good. A few are very good. A couple are silly or worse.

On the plus side, 'Forgiven' is really a terrific song. Another one that is very impressive is 'Deathbed' which is about a dying cancer patient reflecting back on life and considering Jesus. It is very long and quite a story. I had to listen to it a few times before it really caught on with me, but it is actually very good.

Lyrically, most of the songs are either quite positive or even expressly Christian.

One song that is quite silly is 'Crayons Can Melt On Us For All I Care'. It is meaningless. One song that I don't like at all is, 'Faking My Own Suicide.' It seems very out of place lyrically and style wise both. It is about a teenage breakup followed by the boy faking his own suicide to get the girl's attention and make her think that she loved him. This really should have been left off of this project.

With the exception of that song, the rest of this is a good album. In spite of that, I hesitate to recommend it because that one song is so inappropriate.

Don't Listen & Drive unless you have Cruise Control.......2007-03-10

Crank it up and rock on. This is a great bluesy, rock and roll album that always makes me want to dance. Shake, Rattle, and Roll; just be careful when driving to watch the speedometer.

HUEY'S HAVING SOME FUN.......2007-01-18

I really enjoyed this offering from Huey Lewis and the News. Harmonies are tight, music is tight, and they put a little different spin on these "Other People's Hits". By the way, if you have never seen Huey live in concert, you are definately missing a great show.

Nice lighthearted collection of tunes.......2006-06-20

Fans always have mixed feelings when their favorite artist takes a stab at another project that may be a little outside the norm.

This record is definitely a departure from the "classic" sound of Huey Lewis and News. Matter of fact, Huey's raspy voice is really the only recognizable element that would make you ask your self, "What a minute, isn't that Huey Lewis?"

I don't remember exactly how this record joined my collection, but I suspect I purchased it while browsing countless material in used music shops in the mid to late 90's. I was never a huge Huey Lewis fan, I think I maybe owned "Sports" before this one, so the fact that I chose this over one of the band's more established pop records is a mystery to me.

It's a nice lighthearted collection of tunes, I enjoy "But It's Alright," "You Left the Water Running," and "Your Cash Ain't Nothin' but Trash."

Shake, Rattle, and (Especially) Roll: A Lil' Bit More Than Decent My Friends.......2006-05-25

I first heard this CD driving around the streets of Dubai, UAE, with a displaced American yearning for a taste of home. It blew my roots of rock socks off.

I hated Huey and the gang growing up. Blek. Not good Pop; not even close to good rock. Indecisive. Here The News is: this is everything Rock and Roll couldn't be when it first got pumpin' in the 50s. Huey and the Comets take a good thing and make it great.

Do you throw Mary Tyler Moore parties? Put this CD on and for one entire CD, your party won't stop dancing. I love this album.

Alone on a desert island, I'll take this 4 Chords to make me happy and. . .a Tom Waits album to remind me that I'm. . .alone on a desert island.

Shake`s sometimes, but sometimes it does`nt ........2006-02-27

This is a weird one. To bring his 8o ths "hip to the square" style to some classical rock and roll songs. It`s a so so listening, that put`s Huey Lewis all over the song`s but have problem`s to bring us back to 5o ths. It start`s ok with the soulfull saxophone on Shake Rattle and Roll, on track 1, but
then Lewis voice doesn` fit`s in in a way. Track 2 Blue Monday, has a good musical background atmosphere, but the vocal one brings it down. The saxophone is great anyway. Track 3 Searching for my love, is a sentimental weepie, and the quality mark weeps too. Track 4 She`s somekind of wonderful, is more in the Lewis 80 ths style, and this one works. On Track 5 But it`s alright we are back in the "stream of cliches" once again. It`s anyway ok in a way. Track 6. If you gotta make fool of somebody, sounds like "poor manns"Burt Bacarach,which is a minor stepdown.
Track 7 Mother in Law, is an upstiffer, and on this one Huey "steps" on the right buttons, all trough. Track 8 Little Bitty Pretty One, is an even better song. The only 5 star song on this CD, with it`s tempo up beat rock and roll rythm all trough. This one shines. Track 9 Good Morning little school girl, is an ok, blues song, which another vocal than Huey (or it could be?) brings some flaire to the song. Track 10 Stagger Lee, is a classic. The original is better. Track 11. She shot a hole in my soul. Yes she does and Huey does too, when i listen to it. Bad to the bone this, with it`s hybrid 50 th`s and 80 ths soundpicture. Track 12 Surley i love you, sound`s like a "comic book song", and is more "cartoon" than rock and roll. Track 13 You left the water running, is cool, and has a certain temperature all trough. Track 14 Your cash ain nothin but trash, has some guts, but it doesn`t kicks off . Track 15 Function at the junction has big band flair, but that`s all. Track 16 Better to have and not need, it`s "urban big band beat" as poor man`s blues brothers, but that`s not a quality mark on this one, but it sparks here and there sometimes. Track 17 Going down slow, is a fast "blues rock and roller" that sparks lively.
As a whole this one shake`s sometimes, but on most of the track`s it doesn`t. That`s it folks !

Ok, so I made a mistake in a shipping order and accidentally ordered 2 but I am in no way complaining! You have two discs in a package, one is the standard audio cd and the other is a dvd that has live acoustic performances of some of their songs including a cover of the Beachboys' "Sloop John B" And they perform it better than the Beachboys might I add.
An absolute MUST for any Relient K fan. Not only do you get their best album to date but are also treated with dvd features.

Awesome CD with killer DVD.......2007-03-18

Unlike most CD/DVD combos, which are typically all garbage, the DVD on this album is actually worth the extra money. Buy the Deluxe edition. not the stand alone CD.

Album Description

Welcome to our third CD. On this recording you will find what we call 'Gaelic Bagpipe Music' ? not the refined playing of a modern pipe band, but our own version of these ancient, tribal sounds. WICKED TINKERS perform the kind of music you might have heard hundreds of years ago at a Scottish wedding, ceilidh, or around the campfire of a Highland raiding party. We blend the emotion and power of the Great Highland Bagpipe with the pounding of raw tribal rhythms and on this cd add the haunting tones of the 'Corn na hÉireann'- the Bronze Age Irish Horn - a sound lost for millennia. We play the music of the Scottish Highlands, spicing it with the Celtic tunes of Ireland and the many lands graced by the Gaelic people.

Customer Reviews:

Something Wicked This Way Comes.............2007-04-10

The Wicked Tinkers put on the best shows ever!

The music is very hi quality, fun, and unashamedly uplifting!

The kind of music you think of when you want good time with great friends!

Just the thing you want to hear when you are feeling down or need that boost to get you thru the day.

And let the naysayers sit at home and nit pick about the singing all they want...songs like "I Will Go" will move you!

Especially if you are a serviceman or a serviceman's family member.

Keep on going guys!!!

2 wrecked eardrums.......2006-08-08

These guys are amazing. I got to see them at the local Highland Games in my area last month. They throw one hell of a live performace. I picked up two of their CDs at the games, and just recently purhased two others. This album is particularly intriguing, as it introduces the brass horn, along with the digderidoo... which make for a very interesting blend along with the pipes. I think sometimes the low bass of the didge muddles some of the other sounds, but I could care less... this albums is pretty high energy, with excellent piping, and relentless drums. Wiked Tinkers, and Loud have barely left my CD player since I bought them. My favorite tracks on this particular album are # 4,5,and 6..Gaelic Aire, 6/8 Marches, and I Will Go. I would disregard the disdain others have shown for the vocal tracks. They aren't that bad, and add some variety...and seem very earnest at heart. I see nothing wrong with that. If you like bagpipes, chances are you will like this...a strong 3rd release from these guys, check it out if you get the chance.

want to dance?.......2006-03-17

This CD makes a person who doesn't know how to dance WANT to learn. They are very energic and it is contagious!! "Whisky Supper" and "Wicked Tinkers" are also great CD"s. Saw them at White Horse Coffee & Tea Co. at Sutherlin, Oregon.They performed outside in heat over 100 degrees and it didn't slow them down a bit.

Eclectic and exciting.......2005-08-04

I agree- the Tinkers have a style all their own that is dynamic and exciting. I love that while the music is primitive it also has great technical elements. How does he play so fast?! This was my first Tinkers CD and I still like it best- in part /because/ of the vocals. It's a good contrast to occasionally have a context for the music and there are definitely much worse vocalists than Mr. Shaw out there. Yes, the CD's are not as great as a live performance. I concede that it's very difficult indeed to capture guys in kilts dancing on pub tables (while they're playing) on a CD. Because Tinkers have so much "personality" the CD isn't a perfect substitute, but it will at least sustain you until the band returns to your area.

Fun folk bagpipe and drum band!.......2004-10-23

Saw them live, bought the cd, and now I have hours of bagpipes blowing out my truck windows. The drums, various drones, and occasional vocals add to the variety. I love 'em!

Mercyful Purple.......2006-12-25

The only problem with unleashing a cd like this on the world is that it makes you wish the band had actually put out an album or two instead of fizzling away. I guess there's no real need to complain coz at least we got something from these guys. Black Rose is the kind of band you throw on when you're jamming out to Black Sabbath and Deep Purple albums as opposed to King Diamond and Mercyful fate ones. Little hints of Diamond's vocals and Fate's sound are found, but not much. Diamond seems to be finding himself, shifting from his snarly vocals to a flat out Alice Cooper impersonation and just a pinch of his falsetto. The album's obviously been remastered and touched up, but seems to have the production sound of an old Deep Purple album. In between(and sometimes in the middle) of the tunes are talk between band members....in Danish of course. Hardcore King fans will certainly pick this up, and some will be disappointed. Folks who aren't big on King Diamond but dig that Purple sound might find this surprisingly good. Either way it's worth the time.

3 and 1/2 stars.......2004-08-19

I agree with most of the positive reviews of this album. Only in addition to the Prog and Early Metal influences, I also hear a little glam and post-punk as well. Like maybe the more psychedelic moments of the Damned or the Stranglers were an influence as well. Anyhow, an ear-opening experience for the King's fans.

An awesome album.......2004-05-26

Black Rose: 20 Years Ago - A Night Of Rehearsals (2001.) A 1981 rehearsal album by Black Rose, King Diamond's pre-Mercyful Fate band.

When we think of the legendary Danish metal star King Diamond, we generally only think of his material that he recorded with Mercyful Fate or the solo material that he recorded as the years progressed. What many people (even fans of King Diamond) don't know is that he played in a band BEFORE Mercyful Fate! He was once in a band called Black Rose. Sadly though, that era of his career was all but forgotten - until now. A set of Black Rose rehearsal recordings has been released! Read on for my review of 20 Years Ago - A Night Of Rehearsals.

PROS:
-If you want to hear what King Diamond sounded like before he joined the legendary Danish metal band Mercyful Fate, this compilation will answer your questions - and may leave you wanting more!
-The sound that Black Rose had was a sort of classic rock/power rock/classic metal hybrid, similar to the sound that made Deep Purple popular. Accordingly, if you're a Deep Purple fan, you may want to consider checking this set out.
-The band plays very well during the rehearsal session that is captured on this album.

CONS:
-The only real complaint that I have with this set is that the sound quality isn't that good. This is because this was a rehearsal recording that was never intended for commercial release, and it was recorded twenty years before it was released. But if you can get through the bad sound quality, you're probably going to be impressed.
-The sound featured on this album is very different from that of Mercyful Fate and King Diamond's solo material. Accordingly, many fans of the King may be turned off by it.

OVERALL:
Overall this is an excellent compilation that demonstrates beautifully that King Diamond was rocking hard even before his Mercyful Fate days. If you're a fan of the King, don't hesitate to pick up this release. Listen with an open mind, though - It may end up not being what you'd expect!

Deep Purple with King Diamond Style Organ-Playing.......2004-03-04

This is a great raw raw recording of a practice session for King's first band in 1980. Expertly remastered to hi-fi! The musicians are very good, and the music is great. Just what I thought it would be. The baroque-esque organ really makes the transition from this band's Deep Purple influences to King Diamond's style.
King's vocals are undeveloped at this point, rarely using his falsetto. Based on musicality, he was probably the weak-link in the band, but that makes the album even more authentic. Great guitar-work.
Great original songs, very catchy. Difficult to make out the lyrics, through heavy Dannish accents, some songs might be in Dannish, so only 4 stars.
Lots of goofing around, and the sound of beer bottles being opened during the songs makes for an environmental listen.
They cover "Radar Love" by Golden Earing, and it sounds pretty sweet!

Prog Shock from the King.......2003-01-10

In the late 70's there appeared a totally bizarre and depraved shock rock band in Denmark. Their frontman was none other than present day Metal icon King Diamond. What this disk contains is what it says. Over an hour of rehearsal time laid down on tape and surprisingly clear and professional sounding. Nothing is edited out here, so you get to hear all the between song antics within the studio. (some of which are pretty funny) Also you'll hear the band mess up and start over. The actual songs themselves are played excellently with hardly any mistakes.
If you like Merciful Fate and King Diamond but have never heard of the King's first band, you may be a bit surprised. The band's style lies somewhere between 70's style Prog rock and Heavy Metal. I hear elements of Early Judas Priest, Kiss, Alice Cooper, Early Genesis, Kansas, Yes, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and Black Sabbath. King's voice hadn't developed into the psychotic animal we know and love today. He sounded more like a a hybrid of Alice Cooper and early Rob Halford.
Also the lyrics, while dark, twisted and quite morbid (try Kill For Fun, or I Need Blood), they didn't touch on satanic themes at all. In the liner notes King talks about some of their on stage theatrics, including pig's eyes, blood, and entrails; stabbing baby dolls, setting off bombs, and other disgusting and loony things. So if you like shock rock, prog, or are a major King Diamond fan, check out Black Rose. You'll be enlightened for sure.

Before Piazzolla, Argentinean tango, whether performed in a Buenos Aires waterfront dive or cafe society boïte, was primarily music for a dance famously described as a "vertical expression of a horizontal desire." But filtered through Piazzolla's cosmopolitan outlook and intellect, it became a sophisticated yet still searingly sexy fusion of Argentina's rural milonga and African derived candombe styles with American jazz, European pop and 20th-century classical influences. Today, it's hard to believe that nuevo tango initially raised howls of indignation as Piazzolla's spell-binding bandoneon (accordion) and compositions ultimately won over the traditionalists. This compilation includes many of the late Maestro's best-known tunes, such as Libertango and two versions of Adios Nonino, an elegy for his father. From the percussive, Shostakovich-like thrust of Tres Minutos Con La Realidad to the keening, fatalistic bitterness of Milonga Del Angel, it is a collection to treasure, ideal for beginners and enlightening for collectors. --Christina Roden

Album Description

Astor Piazzolla is arguably the greatest tango musician of all time and, from the 1950s onwards, he continued to experiment to test the limits of the genre. A virtuoso on the bandoneón, a brilliant composer, arranger and bandleader, Piazzolla conjured a sound that fused the evolutionary tangos of Aníbal Troilo, jazz, ambient and classical avant-garde aberrations. The Rough Guide To Astor Piazzolla is a soundtrack to the teeming city of Buenos Aires - peopled by colourful characters and incredible stories - and reflects his remarkable lifetime achievement.

Customer Reviews:

might be the best rock beatles tribute album out.......2006-06-16

50 tracks (only about 3 i dislike) of alternative rock covers of beatle songs that retain the spirit of the original songs but have enough variations to make the songs fresh. that's exactly the model of a good tribute album. most of the songs are hard enough to rock, but still pop enough stay beatle-ish.
