Bombshell ROX!!! (I mad a pun).......2004-01-16

I like Rancid and Bombshell Rocks and I say this is punk music at some of it's finest. Back to the old school spirit of the scene. That's the feeling I get when I listen to this, I feel like it's the good ol days before Greenday. It's great stuff and it's good for reliving some old memories. Punk fans this is a must.

Better than 77.......2002-03-08

This is one of the greatest musical accomplishments ever. The entire album is more 77 than 77. The trax have fast verses, sing along choruses, and intelligent lyrics. This is what The Clash would have sounded like had they been in their prime today. The comparisons of Bombshell Rocks to Rancid derive from the fact that both bands have extremely well written songs, with sublime lyrics that aren't poetic, yet aren't standard thoughts.

The songs average about three minutes/track which is long for punk songs, yet are the perfect length because they are so well written.

Bright Spot is one of the best trax ever, and other standouts include Seven, The Will The Message, Same Streets, Where We Gather, Microphone... the whole disc is unstoppable, and full of instant adrenaline.

Street Art Gallery is far too good to ever receive critical acclaim. There will probably be few albums written that will ever top this one so you might as well get it now and get on with it.

Great punk rock.......2000-06-28

I agree with the other reviewers that Bombshell Rocks does have a little of the style that Rancid use to have but they dont have the same beats that Rancid uses, mostly I think the comparison would come from the lyrics and the lead singers voice. I picked up this album after hearing their song on Punk-O-Rama 4 and it has been spinning in my CD player since then. All the songs rip and if your a fan of bands like Rancid, H2O, 59 Times the Pain, I Against I, etc. then you should check Bombshell Rocks out.

If you like Rancid, you will like Bombshell Rocks.......2000-03-11

Everyone else has said it because its true -- These guys sound a lot like Rancid (their older albums). These guys are full of energy and I like this album a lot. No doubt about it, if you like Rancid & Operation Ivy you will like this album. Also check out their EP, Underground Radio. It has 6 songs and all of them are good.

very good.......1999-11-10

great first album from these guys. wow i still can't get over the fact the sound like the older rancid.

One of J-Tull's Finest.......2006-02-17

OK, this is the Minstrel in the Gallery release to go after. Do not, I repeat do NOT buy the re-release with the bonus tracks. None of them do a thing but hurt this great release.
Not only does this contain one of the group's best-written, best-known songs, Minstrel in the Gallery, but it's got much more. Be it Requiem (one of the finest acoustic songs in the band's catalogue), Cold Wind to Valhalla (a myth-influenced winner, at least in my book), or Baker St. Muse (One of their finest extended pieces), this album has some great music. Pick it up!

The best Tull album of all.......2004-04-01

Jethro Tull's music is so complex and indiosyncratic that 1) it is impossible to classify or even characterize; 2) it is rather an "acquired taste;" and 3) at its best, not only do you never get tired of it, but it gets better with every hearing. This disc is all of those things in spades. This is one of the 7 or so Tull albums I owned and played incessantly back in the mid-70s. Recently, when my turntable finaly reached the point that I couldn't patch it up any more, there were very few albums of that vintage that I bothered to replace with CDs, but this one was at the very top of the list. As much as I love Tull, on reflection I realize that many of the other albums were mixtures of some real gems and quite a few clunkers. This one is uniformly superb, and not just because it is a fairly coherent "concept album." In particular, the mixture and balance of the various contrapuntal sounds, including the string section as well as the famous quirky flute and the usual rock instruments, is outstanding, and this stage in the evolution of the lineup surrounding Anderson and Barre (Barlow, Hammond-Hammond, Evan) was the one with the best synergy. Anderson's vocals and nonsensical-yet-profound lyrics were never better, the quality of the flute playing is by far the best, and the flute is integrated into the overall flow of the songs as it rarely was elsewhere. While the title track and One White Duck probably got the most semi-popular play back when it was released, to me it might be Cold Wind to Valhalla and Black Satin Dancer that wear the best now. Baker Street Muse remains an amazing example (even better than the epic Thick as a Brick) of an extended, medley-type assemblage that somehow clearly hangs together. My only regret is that I am somewhat reluctant to introduce these gems to my nearly-teenage daughters because they might listen a bit too closely to the words! They also might well, like most people, have to have the patience to listen about 10 times before getting over the quirky rhythms and the not-always-hummable melodies and beginning to appreciate how great this stuff really is. In my middle age I recently had the same experience with the Shostakovich string quartet #8, so I know how it feels.

"Valkyrie maidens cry".......2002-08-13

This album is a "5", I don't even have to think about it. I agree with another review, that at first this sounded like something that didn't make much sense. But this is one of those albums that doesn't necessarily sound great right from the start. You have to give it time to "all come together", and when it does (on about my 5th listen) you know you are hearing something spectacular. After the medieval beginning to the song "Minstrel in the Gallery" comes drum rhythms and guitar stuff that is incredible. There are unique rhythms in portions of some of these songs that can take some time to get the hang of. After it all sinks in the whole thing comes together. "Cold Wind to Valhalla" is easy to follow right from the start and some of the others. "Black Satin Dancer" has a different sound that takes some getting used to but to sum it all up; This is Jethro Tull's best album. That's my opinion, but I have heard nearly all the others and as good as they are, nothing compares to this one.

Jethro Tull Rocks.......2002-07-28

After "Aqualung" and "War Child" were such huge successes, I was worried that Jethro Tull had, as Frank Zappa phrased it, gone commercial. "Minstrel in the Gallery" corrected that notion. "Minstrel in the Gallery" returns Tull to their original self-defined genre.

I always get a kick out of people trying to fit Jethro Tull into any particular type of music, because they are just plain not anything. While they have elements of hard rock/metal, elements of pop, elements of progressive, elements of folk, elements of rennaisance, and even a bit of classical here and there, they are all of the above and none of the above. They just are.

The opening track, "Minstrel in the Gallery", begins with hammering and noises that make it sound as though the group is on a stage that is being prepared for a play. The song then transitions into a bard-like minstrel song, and then takes off into a hard rock song. An excellent opening song that sets you up for the things to come.

"Cold Wind to Valhalla" won't fool you. There are some violins and flavor of folk/rennaisance, but at around 1 minute and 45 seconds into the song it switches into overdrive and you realize you are listening to a solidly rock song. Excellent use of violins in this song to help the orchestration. Hard to believe that violins can be a hard-rock instrument.

You hear classic Jethro Tull in the beginning of "Black Satin Dancer", then some hard rock riffs, and you suspect what will come next in this song. And you would be right and wrong. This song is a sensual song with allusions of sexual foreplay and intense longing, perhaps even lust. Sometimes I felt some occasional elements of King Crimson, and then not. The hard rock elements intertwine with classic Tull and some occasional progressive flashes. A most excellent song.

Then you are lulled by the melancholy strains of "Requiem", as Ian Anderson and company sound more like Kansas or Simon and Garfunkel, and yet, the sound is still Tull. This song is meant to be listened to for the feel, and not for the words.

Then, as you move into "One White Duck/0^10 = Nothing at All" you realize that "Requiem" was a perfect transition between "Black Satin Dancer" and this song. I love this song, because it seems to have meaning, and seems to have no meaning, and you hover on the edge of understanding without understanding, though you think you should, and could, if you could listen a little longer and read the lyrics just one more time. But this song is, of course, classic Tull, and the lyrics do mean something, but they are art, and art is for the interpretation of the listener. Don't make too much of this song, and don't make too little. Just listen and love it.

Then, off to signature Tull, the extended, intertwined story-song, "Baker St. Muse". Here you have an intro about a muse, a very down-to-earth fellow crying out that Jethro Tull wasn't the commercial group that "War Child" seemed to make them out to be. We are in the gutter like we always were, singing about the things that haven't changed, and so on to the next part of our story...

The other songs are stories of the street, likely stories of the Baker St. Muse (aka Jethro Tull). These songs are very sexual. Today they might even get a warning label, even though there is no use of the crude words which seem so popular. There is no need, the point is well made without resorting to a limited, non-descriptive vocabulary. This group of songs finish with "Mother England Reverie", which is a protestation that the singer is just a street player, a muse, and he'll never be anything but.

The CD finishes with a wrap-up song, "Grace", which is a marvelous little epilogue that not only finishes the CD, but also asks a simple, but layered question, "Hello breakfast. May I buy you again tomorrow?" In the context of the CD the question more likely means, can we be here tomorrow, can we still do what we are doing? And perhaps, in consideration of the other songs, will anyone care.

Sometimes I think of the songs, coming after the nearly-pop success of "Warchild", as being an apology for straying from the princples of Jethro Tull's music and style. Perhaps I'm wrong. Perhaps not. Regardless, listening to the seven albums before Warchild, and then "Warchild", and then "Minstrel in the Gallery", you realize that "Warchild" was not Tull's usual music, and "Minstrel in the Gallery" put them squarely back where they once were.

Jethro Tull has never been everyman's group. Never will. They occupy a unique place in modern music that will likely never be defined. This CD is solidly at the heart of the kind of music Jethro Tull is known for making. It is among the best of Jethro Tull.

Very Good.......2002-07-25

This is and excellent example of classic Jethro Tull. It has some fast, powerful songs, as well as some smooth, soft ones. The best comparison I can make to another album is "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" by the Moody Blues. By this I mean(as any Moody Blues fan will probably agree) that you have to listen to this album more then once to appricate all the songs. Some of the songs, like the title track, will probably appeal to you at once. Others, like Requiem, really need to grow on you.

Customer Reviews:

Hannah's Dad's band was simply amongst the best from the 60s!.......2006-08-10

There's only one word that I think aptly sums up the Artwoods and this CD issue.......MAGIC!

I have all of the Artwoods' original 45s and they are in my box marked "Treasures of 60s British R&B". Go out and buy (or steal) what is quite simply a wonderful musical experience. FIVE stars isn't enough...."Can You Hear Me"??!

I know the bass player quite well...!?.......2000-08-13

From here on in, I write silly messages about knowing the Bass player, Malcolm Pool...and the link becomes clear with the sirname! He happens to be my Dad. None the less that doesn't make me bias. The band is excellent to the last. I sometimes wish that the Artwoods had been around today. The music they were playing then I feel could have done so well against some of the bands that have come to light today. But then he wouldn't be my Dad, he would probably be someone elses, so I'm happy with history.

Excellent British r'n'b!.......1999-08-31

Art Wood (guitarist Ron Wood's less famous brother) fronted this British mod r'n'b act in the mid-60s. Their sound (distinguished by Art Wood's gruff vocals and Jon Lord's nimble Booker T.-like organ lines) was sure-footed and tough through relentless club gigs in the UK. Like other organ-based UK combos like the Graham Bond Organization, their main strength was their awesome instrumental prowess but not top-notch songwriting ability ('Art Gallery' is comprised mostly of soul and r'n'b covers). This fated them to relative pop obscurity and footnote status to late-60s supergroups like Deep Purple and Cream. But the recorded documents they left behind define an era. 30+ years later, they still sound exciting; their rhythmic drive on tracks like "Keep Lookin'" and "Be My Lady" is undeniable. No collection of 60s r'n'b from either side of the Atlantic is complete without it.

Enjoyably eclectic!!.......2002-12-14

What a thrill it is for me to tell you that I went to school with Jayme, and that her voice has been a true asset to her for many years! My wife and I share the c.d. from truck to van, and our daughter enjoys the songs as well. I was able to hear her over the 2002 summer and am anxiously waiting for her new crop of music to arrive for the public to enjoy. If you do not yet have this collection, get it! You will enjoy it!

Great Singing & Songwriting.......2002-01-29

WE can't believe the depth of this debut album. Jayme's LOVE for songwriting is evident throughout. YOU won't regret purchasing this album. JAYME Pohl is a star in the making!!

What a voice!.......2002-01-23

I was given this CD by a friend, and I have really enjoyed it. Ms. Pohl is a wonderful song-writer, throwing in surprises just when you think you know what's coming next. And her voice is wonderful, lyrical and smooth. I would recommend this CD to any folk music fan.

Beautiful Voice and Great Words!.......2002-01-10

Jayme has a gift for songwriting, and she has made incredible improvements with the guitar. This blend makes her an excellent songwriter and performer. You can tell she is relaxed and reveals a little of herself in each song. Oh!. Did I forget to mention her voice?. Well buy the CD and see for yourself. It is true she sounds a little like Joan Baez, but her style is different. I didn't give her a 5 because I expect her next album to be even better, and there are no 6s.

Intriguing and Unique.......2001-12-19

Jayme Pohl is a wonderful musician who puts her heart and soul into her music. With her unique sound and superb songwriting ability, she definitely has more to offer in the future. A beautiful voice, unique lyrics with music that brings it all together for a great listen!

Album Description

The long awaited follow up to 1997s Little Suns, Rockwells and Picassos shows well the growth of Rathburn as he once again explore's what might make this world a better place. Perhaps slightly more spiritual while at the same time more irreverent, this CD presents Joe with his tounge firmly planted in cheek. 11 superb original tunes are capped off with a fine cover of Michael Peter Smith's "The Dutchman". The production this time around is more stark, in your face, and intimate, and though other instruments abound, the CD is still about the song and Joe's voice and acoustic guitar.
