Album Description

In 2005, Ken Griffin (Rollerskate Skinny) joined forces with four members of Jagjaguwar's now defunct psych-pop band Aspera. They released their first 7-inch, toured, and now offer this stellar debut, mixed by Victor Van Vugt (P.J. Harvey, The Fall, The Pogues). With songs reveling in emotional extremes, the album is at once intimate, muscular, vulnerable, and arrestingly beautiful.

2 out of 5 stars Caterwauling + Trite Lyrics = Sad fan........2007-07-10

I keep hoping that someday I'll get another Horsedrawn Wishes out of Ken Griffin, after buying this I don't have much hope. Perhaps I don't understand this record because I skipped Kid Silver, but I've heard my fair share of tunes and this just sounds like a drunk reeking of a 5 week bender reeling off his teenage sons' angry poetry (and not in a good Waits or Cave way). This album sounds like it was churned from an unpleasant bar band and where it does try to shake things up it remains assaultively eye-rolling. Looks like I'm sticking to Rollerskate Skinny.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome cool awesome cool.......2006-12-21

Just plain awesome. I love this CD over and over and over.....

5 out of 5 stars a fearless record.......2006-09-20

This is the first essential rock record I've heard this year. Ken Griffin (Rollerskate Skinny, Kid Silver) has returned from bartending anonymity and chained his vocal, lyrical and musical talents onto a juggernaut of rock and roll power. Delivered with the urgency of a shout and the caress of a whisper, Griffin's weary old despair rides an undulating current of melodic salvation into the inferno.

This record will not make you cool. It deserves to be the sleeper hit of the year. Now I'm going to hide under a rock so I can pretend that it's mine alone.

    5 out of 5 stars Hymn singing as it should be.......2002-01-17

    This is a very fine recital drawn from the core of the church and cathedral choir repertoire. Martin Neary proves here (perhaps more convincingly than anyone else) that a good hymn can be just as magical as a through-composed anthem for choir alone, and that the repetition of a single tune over verse after verse need not be a dull experience.

    The hymns and tunes selected are indeed among the best-loved works in English church music. "O God, our help in ages past," "Love Divine," "Eternal Father, strong to save," "Be thou my vision," "Guide me, O thou great Redeemer" and the eventide chestnuts "Abide with me" and "The day thou gavest" are all bound to be the most recognisable even to those who are not regular churchgoers. Some of the Victorian composers have immortalised the cream of their talent in such hymns as "The King of Love my shepherd is" and "O thou, who camest from above." Purcell's tune "Westminster Abbey" - extracted from his anthem "O God, thou art my God" and set to the words "Christ is made the sure foundation" - shows how a stroke of inspiration of long ago can survive endless musical change by being adapted and absorbed into hymnody. Another adapted work is Hubert Parry's hymn "O Praise ye the Lord," actually the final part of an extended anthem ("Hear my words, ye people") and is presented on this disc in its original form, making for an interesting and refreshing change to the repetitive verses of the rest of the collection. Completing the programme are settings that fall more definitely outside of the realms of congregational singing: the powerful "Kontakion of the Dead" to an ancient tune and harmonisation from Kiev; the moving Air from County Derry set to the verse "I would be true" for unaccompanied boys voices (as sung by these very choristers at the Funeral of Princess Diana in 1997); Martin Neary's little tune "Studland" written for the blessing "May the Grace of Christ our Saviour;" his lovely arrangement of Sebastian Temple's "Make me a channel of your peace" (also sung at the Diana funeral) is here as well. Each item is a gem in its own right.

    In this performance, each gem is polished to a high standard. Contrast is effectively made by the use of subtly different forces for different verses - there is an appropriate use of boisterous tenors and basses in "O worship the King" at the verse "O tell of his might," and a plethora of soul-stirring unaccompanied verses, particularly in "Praise to the Holiest in the Height." (I would challenge anybody to find a more moving moment in hymnody, achieved with such utter simplicity, than the performance of "And in the garden secretly, and on the Cross on high, should teach his brethren, and inspire to suffer and to die" as it is on this disc.) This is not to say that Martin Baker's accompaniments are not another wonderful element in the performance: for instance, his clever doubling of the tune at a low octave in "Who would true valour see" for the words "No lion can him fright; he'll with a giant fight." On the subject of words, every single one is treated with care and attention to its meaning, individually and in context - the ensemble is finely honed and the enunciation is immaculate. Martin Neary draws every ounce of poetical significance from the words in these hymns, making real sense of them and allow them to speak as music, not simply as long lines of verse to get through as quickly as possible (which is often the problem arising with hymn singing in many churches today). As a finishing touch, several hymns have descants and alternative harmonisations, many of them supplied by Neary, who knows how to make them effective, stunning and highly original. An ensemble of trumpets and drums joins the Abbey Choir and organ for the performance of "All people that on earth do dwell" in the festive arrangement by Vaughan Williams - this is as stirring as many of the other hymns are moving.

    This collection is a sample of hymnody that (in my humble opinion) far outweighs others I have encountered. There's a certain joy in listening to these performances - a joy that somehow remains fresh on repeated hearings. An inspired and inspirational programme: most warmly recommended!

    5 out of 5 stars All their best singles compiled on one album............2003-10-31

    Anyone expecting `The Hives', to play songs of slow poignant melancholy, will be sorely disappointed and well advised to look elsewhere, as this is about as Fast & Furious as it gets...and perfected magnificently by the rousing, passionate hollering's of singer/frontman "Howlin' Pelle Almqvist", whom screams and howls his way through every song, with the subtlety of a cricket ball smashing through a glass conservatory....and guitars rocking & Drums thumping with volume set to `Max'. And its surprisingly its actually very uplifting, with track 3 "Supply & Demand", clocking in at just under 2:27, and is as bone fide an anthem as Blur's "Song 2" is considered...and its not a one trick pony either, as "Hate to Say I Told You So", "Die, All Right!" & "Main Offender" are particularly well crafted Rock Songs that do a tremendous job of holding your attention completely. Obliviously this is not an album for when quieter music is needed....but Who Cares!??, this isn't what the band are trying to achieve, its all about foot to the floor furious Jams...and urging their listeners to `Nod their heads aggressively' (and maybe punch their hands into the air), and very few people can match (let alone surpass) these guys when it comes to that.....essential.

    4 out of 5 stars Relentless Sonic Attack.......2002-11-25

    The Hives are the best musical export out of Sweden since ABBA (sorry, Roxette). This mini-"best of" album is a hotch-potch of 4 tracks from 2000's "Veni Vidi Vicious" album (which only this year gained acceptance in the US), with album tracks of 1997's "Barely Legal" CD and a variety of singles and B-sides.

    Clocking in at 28 min., "Your Favorite New Band" sums up very nicely where the Hives are at this point: take-no-prisoners, all out sonic assault, short songs that make rock so great, check out "Hate To Say I Told You So", "a.k.a. IDIOT", and "Outsmarted". The best song, though, is the delicious B-side "The Hives Are Law You Are Crime" (an instrumental no less) which puts us all in place!

    Please don't confuse the Hives with the Vines! The Hives are what rock is about (not that the Vines arent), and this compilation is a great introdution. Now when will they come out with a bona-fide follow-up to "Veni Vidi Vicious"?

    4 out of 5 stars What Rock n' Roll really is.......2002-09-07

    I don't actually own this Cd but I borrowed if off a friend only recently and let we tell you, It was a horrible feeling when I had to return it. Although I was constantly humming the tunes in my head for days I was still left with an empty space. Trust me, if you like Pure Rock then these guys will be right up your alley. A mixture of Garage fuelled with Punk whilst somehow never straying away from their roots. Sure the tracks may be a little unoriginal with structure and not all the songs are great but who cares. It's Rock n' Roll at it's finest and I haven't seen a band this exciting in a long time. Q magazine voted them the top band to see before you die. Just listen to untutored youth if you need a taste of pure adrenelin. Or maybe you need to just mellow out and in that case try the instrumental The Hives Are Law, You Are Crime.
    The standout of the Cd for me is Die, All Right. I don't know what it is but this track ignites me and makes me really want to get up and rock.

    Overall this album is an excellent investment if you are new to The Hives. Buy it and hear the future of Rock Music.

    5 out of 5 stars Pure punk.......2002-07-26

    I got this as a gift, and it is the best disc I've heard in a long time. I was in my teens in the late 1970s and am well familiar with the punk of that time and its influences. If you like 60s garage punk, Raw-Power era Stooges, early Damned, the Dead Boys, and the Saints, you will like this. These guys manage to tie together the best of past punk sounds into one awesome new sound.

    4 out of 5 stars Demand these Main Offenders.......2002-04-16

    The Hives are simply a blast. Rock and Role Models. They wear tight suits and play tight three chord sonic pop. I got a copy of Vendi Vidi Vicious and immediately fell for "Main Offender" "Die, Alright" "Hate To Say I Told You So" and my personal workout fav "Supply & Demand". So when I heard that Alan McGee at Poptones was putting out a best of compilation based on their lps and eps I was eager to get a copy. I am glad I did. All I have say is "Untutored Youth". That is the most exciting song I heard in a long time. If you are looking for some straight up rock and roll old school style with some very clever lyrics then give these guys a try.

      3 out of 5 stars Tale of two halves..........2004-06-20

      What we have here are two distinct halves to this cd: On one side, we have the inane, formulaic grunting and groaning by the lead male singer in half the songs. On the other half, we have the vocal stylings of the female lead singer, which work much better. The instrumentation is your standard punkish fare, palsied drums and jarring staccato riffs - but the female singer just seems to accentuate the work much better, serving as a nice counterpoint to the overtly aggro music. Consider it a half-good CD, rip half the tracks and ignore the others.

        4 out of 5 stars for all Frank (Patterson, that is!) fans!.......2004-03-31

        This is one of Mr. Patterson's least well-known recordings. Dating from the 1980s, he is in fine vocal estate as he essays various opera and oratorio arias. In fairness, the opera renditions suffer from the lack of a more robust approach and sound, with the exception of the Magic Flute piece. It is in the Handel, Haydn, Mendelssohn and Berlioz oratorio selections that he shines. His sweet voice was that of an Irish bard, not an operatic military officer or libertine. In particular, his near-perfect French is used with great effect in the excerpt from The Enfant Christ, by Berlioz. I met Frank on a PBS broadcast in Lincoln in 1999, and he expressed to me his love of the music of Berlioz and Britten. He studied in Paris in the 1960s with soprano Janine Micheau. I hope the Colin Davis Philips recording of Berlioz' La Nuits d'Ete is re-issued sometime, with Frank, John Shirley-Quirk, Sheila Armstrong and Josephine Veasey. It is just superb. And his recording of Elizabethan lute songs and the Beethoven-arranged Irish folk songs. Until then, except for the "Concert Requests" on Brio CDs, there just isn't much from Frank's classical repertoire to hear. So, buy the Irish ballad CDs and enjoy again the sound of this silver-voiced tenor, now gone from us almost four years (June, 2000.)
