Frantic is hardly an appropriate title choice for Bryan Ferry, who is the epitome of unflustered, cucumber-cool decorum. Frantic, his first album to feature original material since Mamouna, has been simmering away on the back burner for all of eight years. And it's all the tastier for it. The ingredients are just right: another song cowritten with former Roxy Music partner Brian Eno; tunes about models, movies, amour, and large houses; a guest appearance from Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood on "Hiroshima" (this is Ferry reclaiming his stolen clothes from the New Romantics' wardrobe); four fine new numbers co-penned in the 1990s with the Eurythmics' Dave Stewart; contributions from guitarists of the caliber of Chris Spedding and Mick Green; backing vocalists of the caliber of Lucy Laplansky and Alison Goldfrapp; a little bit of medieval; a little bit of Leadbelly; and a little bit of Dylan. Often the involvement of so many contributors results in too many cooks spoiling the broth, but not here. Compliments to the chef. This being a Bryan Ferry album, you can still play it at dinner parties, but the sensual ardor put into Frantic suggests Ferry had blood, sweat, and tears trickling down his tuxedo. This is a fantastic album. --Kevin Maidment

Bryan's Back!.......2007-06-21

I was a bit worried that Mr. Ferry had lost his creative genius with the release of the tiresome covers album "As Time Goes By". I needn't have- he's back in full force with "Frantic". After kicking things off with a tasty version of Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue", the original track "Cruel" is next and it rocks. There's a Native American motif in the melody that fits perfectly with the lyrics and is a little humorous whether or not it was intended to be. Following the somewhat rote cover of "Goin' Down" is a sexy, gorgeous ode to one of my favorite pop culture icons, Marilyn Monroe titled "Goddess of Love". Ferry's vocals on this disc are somewhat uneven though I don't mind that. Where his singing on "Goddess" and most of the other original efforts is relatively strong and clear, his age shows in most of the cover songs. But that works in his favor, lending them a subtle frailty and a vulnerable quality. "Nobody Loves Me" and "A Fool for Love" are wonderful songs that find our man wandering down a lane of self-pity. Here again there's some dark humor. The old classic "Goodnight Irene" is the only track on the album I don't particularly care for. It feels like a leftover from "As Time Goes By" and pales in comparison to the next final four songs. Perhaps Bryan intended this juxtaposition of past and present... "Hiroshima" is a stately rocker with great, odd backing vocals. "San Simeon" is kind of a sequel to Roxy Music's "In Every Dream Home A Heartache" from "For Your Pleasure" as BF had written more lyrics to that song that weren't committed to the eventual recording. "San Simeon" has a nice melancholy edge to it which contrasts nicely with the following upbeat music and message of the cover "One Way Love". Saving one of the best for last, "I Thought" is another excellent track and is made more exciting for me with the collaboration of Ferry and Brian Eno not only writing together but singing as well! I never imagined I'd ever get to hear these two artistic giants sing together. They sound great and the song is subtle, thoughtful and closes the album with a hopeful feeling. More surprises like this one, please!

Ferry is fantastic...period........2006-12-04

I'm listening to this album again tonight after several years, and Oh My God, it's so good.. I've been a Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music fan since the first time I heard them in high school. Great singer, wonderful music, intricate and sometimes eerie arrangements and lyrics. Ferry and Roxy are one of the best bands in "rock" era history.

Luke warm Ferry.......2006-05-03

Bryan Ferry has to be one of my all time favorite singers. But how does an artist like him surpass such classic albums like "Mamouna" and "As Time Goes By"? Unfortunately, Mr. Ferry falls horribly short of doing so with his tepid follow-up album "Frantic." It's not a bad album, but it's definitely uninspired. So much of the album is taken up by weak cover songs (enough of the Bob Dylan already!) and forgettable melodies. "Goddess of Love" and "Hiroshima" are the most memorable songs, but it's not enough to save this album. It's also heartbreaking to hear how Ferry's voice has weakened with time. Well, maybe he can team up with Phil and Andy again and make another Roxy Music album. Here's to hoping!

Frantic: Not Really.......2005-09-03

Ferry's new album is a powerful composite of old songs and old players, new songs and new players. But age really isn't the primary issue even though all pictures on the CD are of a young Ferry. Love is still Ferry's bete noir and it has chased him (or he has chased it?) into middle age and beyond. However, Ferry still does sonic justice to his impulses and all the songs are exquisite. We get a delicious blend that's reminiscent of Roxy Music and early-to-mid 70s solo work, with contributions from some of the original musicians (Chris Spedding, Paul Thompson & Brian Eno). An added surprise is Mick Green's amazing guitar work, Dave Steward's song writing collaboration, plus some new textures from the guitarist of Radio Head. Unlike some previous Bryan Ferry albums, the vocals are up front, strong and still retain a youthful edge. Ferry can still pull out the stops and dig deep into his love smitten soul. Though Ferry cannot outrun time, this album is a testament to the lasting power of his talent to capture the sophisticated bitter/sweet urges and nuances of romantic love. And there is nothing frantic about that.

Fantastic........2004-12-07

YES, Mr. Ferry gives us another brilliant piece of music! I got to know Roxy through Avalon, then worked backwards. So I bought Boys and Girls because I thought it was his first solo album, which was wrong, it was his first solo album AFTER Roxy Music. Anyways, by the time of Mamouna, I first listened, and thought oh, it is good, but it is more of the same since Avalon. Then after several months and spins, I came to just love it on its own. That brings us to Frantic. If you are a fan of his music, then you will love this! If you liked Roxy Music, especially their last few albums (Avalon, Manifesto, Flesh & Blood) then you should check out his solo albums--Boys & Girls, Bete Noire, Mamouna, and now Frantic, you'll love them! I always say, if you're not a fan, you should try one of those last Roxy albums, and if you like it, then go forward from there into the solo stuff.

I got two of these cds and both had a blank space where the end of the cd should be. Otherwise,the early part was great!

Funny With The Funiness!!!.......2005-05-26

Frantic Times did wonders for my weight. After listening to this CD, I discovered that I had laughed my ass completely off! While this will most likely bring about other problems in the future, I am currently wearing pants that I normally would be unable to zip up. Thank you Frantics!

But seriously, this is some of the most clever and joyously wacky sketch comedy that I've heard. I recently checked out their website at it seems the group has reformed and is doing live shows every month in Canada. Awesome! There is also some cool information on Frantic TImes at deepshag.com.

Do yourself a favour and check this CD out - very funny!

Good Stuff.......2004-07-08

I got hooked on these guys from Dr. Demento in the 80's. This is the only one of their discs that I managed to pick up and I really enjoyed it... THEN MY GIRLFRIEND STOLE IT!

So now I'm waiting and waiting for Amazon to send me a new copy. When they say that it takes them 3-5 weeks to get something, they mean it!!

It's worth the wait. The Frantics have a blunt humor that hits you like a boot to the head.

While you're clicking around, you should check out a Canadian comedy group called Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie. Their albums aren't available on Amazon, but trust me: if you like The Frantics you'll really enjoy the Dead Trolls.

Album Description

Describing the music of Frantic Bleep is not an easy task, as they mix many influences with considerable creativity and a strong sense of melody while retaining a high level of heaviness. Originality is a key factor for the band. Striving to always craft dynamic/experimental material will ensure no two songs will sound alike. Still, the band's music remains focused, and chaos never takes control.
The debut of these Norwegians `The Sense Apparatus' features  41 minutes of the most dramatic and massive music ever recorded by a metal band, including amazing production by Patrick Scantlebury and stunning artwork by Christian Ruud"Left to their own designs, they could become the Pink Floyd of metal" - PivotalRage"

Surprisingly good..........2007-04-07

I shudder every time I decide to do a review of a band on The End Records. They're notorious for housing acts that are bizarre enough and so far off into left field that most attempts at coherent and informative reviews turn into humiliating displays of self-deprecation. Fortunately, humility isn't lost on me.

Actually, The Sense Apparatus isn't too weird so much as it's a bit unsure of itself.

Firstly, I'm torn on the vocals. Kjetil Fosseid sings in several distinct styles - a screech reminiscent of typical black metal, a strikingly beautiful melodic croon, a sort of distorted yelling, and various instances of soft, menacing whispers, brooding narration, and dark intonations that are entirely believable. Of these, his melodic voice is by far the most impressive and most fitting for the kind of music on display... though he doesn't use it as often as I'd like. There are also guest vocals from Madder Mortem's Agnete Kirkevaag - she's good.

The production is very thick. The guitars feel quite weighty, as though the chords themselves have a sense of physical mass. The drums have a chunky sound that's a bit overbearing - every single drum hit and every cymbal crash is completely distinct and powerful in its own right. The bass mostly resigns itself to the background, but is quite deep and does a wonderful job of making the overall picture complete.

The playing itself doesn't fail to include technical spasms that encompass the usual tempo shifts and rhythmic variations, but these things are not the focal point of the album, nor are they the point of the album at all. Frantic Bleep do not want to be a "progressive metal" band. The music here is not about crafting elaborate arrangements; it is not about instrumental wizardry; it is not about complicated rhythmic structuring; it is not about going out of your way to screw with melody and harmony until only the nerdiest of music nerds in the universe will "understand" what the hell it is you're actually playing.

So what is it about?

Atmosphere. Every note, every melody, and every lead exists to craft an atmosphere of longing, sorrow, despair, and hope (have a listen to "Sins of Omission" - gorgeous). The shifts in dynamics from dark, brooding ambience to austere assaults of metallic rage serve to create bleak emotional storms; unwavering shining beacons in a desolate wasteland of inhumanity. In doing this, Frantic Bleep succeed admirably.

Nice artwork, also.

(Prog?) Metal Gods!.......2007-03-17

Let me just say that I love Prog Rock and Metal. Opeth and Porcupine Tree definately get the most 'spins' in my cd collection. Frantic Bleep, however, is about to take a giant leap to the front of the line. This music goes beyond progressive...it's simply brilliant. I can't wait for their next album, which according to their website is nearing completion. Better buy this now so you'll be up to date when the new one gets here!

the epitome of originality.......2007-03-02

This is one of the finest pieces of avant-garde metal/hardcore/whatever you will ever come across. With face melting riffs and splintering arpeggios starkly contrasting with gentle, acoustic progressive hooks, one will immediately think of Opeth.. but Opeth this is not. Frantic Bleep definately have a sound all to their own, and a dosage of talent to keep this album fresh and riveting even after multiple listens. You will even find tinges of electronica scattered throughout this masterpiece for good measure, but you will never find anything out of place, awkward, or askew.. which is a true gem in the world of the avant-garde.

Incredible musicianship, arrangements... SCARY!.......2006-05-29

The first thing that struck me about this is the melody. It's not just melodic, but it's TROUBLING-it really frightens you! I can see a whole storyline with this kind of music, and it's enough to make one perspire in an Arctic landscape...I am very uncomfortable when I hear this, but I always want to hear it in its entirety because of its power.
The music and musicianship is beyond exceptional. It's a bit progressive, but not in a math-rock way. This kind of stuff is incredibly hard to sing to but the vocalist manages well enough. There are some iffy parts, when there's some screechy grindy elements, but on the whole, the vocalist(s) don't go over the top, which would be so very easy to do with this kind of music.
So beautiful. Hire Frantic Bleep for your Armageddon party. If there's enough time... (if they're still around...and they probably aren't in this lame day and age..)

Unique, well done, and highly recommended.......2006-04-28

It seems that The End records, as a label, specializes in bands that are ridiculously hard to describe in a review. I mean you have Ulver, Agalloch, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Sculptured, Subterranean Masquerade, Age Of Silence, Peccatum, Sigh, and Winds. If I were forced to accurately describe any of those bands's music with words I would probably fail miserably. And now you can add Frantic Bleep to their extremely impressive lineup.

So where to start here? Well I guess I'll start with vocals: Kjetil Fosseid's vocal style brings to mind something of a post-black metal, feel as he alternates between black metal's throaty screachs, and then a variety of whispering/singing/crooning/distorted singing that brings to mind Garm's work with Arcturus. Throughout the course of the album he displays awesome vocal talent, and primarily sticks to his beautiful singing which is probably a good thing, as it suits their music best.

As for the instruments, they focus primarily on atmosphere. The guitars and bass have a very chunky sound that reminds me a bit of Meshuggah, although not quite as angular or melody-less, especially in places like the opening riff of "Curtainraiser". They also provide their fair share of complexity, rhythm shifts, and speed, so for those who are traumatized by simple instrumentation should fear not. The leads and keyboards are what truly add atmosphere as they sprinkle simple yet effective complements to Kjetil Fosseid's vocals, creating a bizzare and effective futuristic atmosphere that I think many bands in this style try to achieve but most fail (Winds and Age of Silence come painfully to mind).

Atmosphere is what this album is truly about. And Frantic Bleep do far more than just create and bathe in it here, they make beautiful use of it. In a style similar to Opeth, they create emotion with dramatic shifts from soft, atmospheric sections to heavy, technical sections. Personally I love bands that do it because it just sends chills down my spine. The album is somewhat comparable to Opeth's My Arms, Your Hearse in its mood as well, somewhat doomy, but with moments of beauty and spiritual triumph included for dynamic effect.

I meandered a lot in this review, but it's a very hard album to describe... so just get it if you like progressive, atmospheric metal that is original without being overly weird. It is very well done and I can't wait to see where these Norweigeans will go with their follow-up.

saw these guys the other day with someone called "extreme elvis". I must tell you, he was extreem. However, no one seems to be able to top the Librarians live. Not even the King himself, now in extreme form, can touch the raw energy these guys put out. I wish there were more bands like this and I hope they all stay slightly below the radar of the masses.

Backed up the hype.......2003-04-26

As catchy, rocking and simply impressive for a first album this is I can't give it a full five stars. But let's remeber this isn't olympic diving and a four is pretty darn good. I can say that this is one of the rare occasions where the reviews of the album were pretty dead on.

Better and better.......2003-04-23

Not only does this album get better with every listen, it actually gets better through the album. Thank You For Me is simply incredible! I once listened to this album for three hours in a row on a late night interstate drive. It kept me both awake and rocking!

All that is good about Rockabilly.......2003-10-28

If you love rockabilly you need this CD. If you don't love rockabilly listen to this CD and you will. Rockabilly represents all that is great in music, form great musicians to stripped down lyrics that make you tap your feet and sing along. Frantic Flattops have remained true to the genre, yet bring a new enough sound to not make you think, "oh I've heard this before". A important CD for anyone who loves rockabilly.

Flattops rock Rochester.......2000-01-04

My friend & I see the Flattops every time they're in Rochester year after year. This CD is the next best thing to hearing the songs live with their thumping bass and swingy beats. Absolutely love "Wake up, get up, get out".

Real Rockin' Rockabilly with a darker edge.......1999-08-31

The boys from Rochester NY have done it again. This album has it all: swinging melodies, thumping bass, woe-is-me lyrics, and lots of ink!!! Every song on here rocks, especially "Sweeter Seventeen", "Witch Doctor" and "Black Eye Blues". They tour a whole lot, so if you get a chance to see them- GO!!

Hard Hitting Sweaty Rockabilly.......1999-08-01

These boys cut through the waves of mediocre and formulated rockabilly by simply doing what they do best: Rocking like Hell. My only complaint is that I didn't run into this band earlier.
