Many bluegrass musicians have incorporated contemporary elements into their work, Jim & Jesse, the Osborne Brothers, and Mac Wiseman among them., but Krauss's contemporary bluegrass contains particularly heavy doses of pop, folk, and modern country. Whatever style she chooses, her flawless voice and her crack Union Station cohorts usually maintain a high standard. The instrumental "Little Liza Jane" and the traditional "I'll Remember You, Love, In My Prayers" prove their instrumental chops, and songs like "No Place to Hide," with an impressive fiddle turn from Krauss herself, effectively mold modern elements into the bluegrass idiom. However, others such as "It Doesn't Matter" and "Deeper Than Crying" have very little to do with bluegrass at all. A mostly solid contemporary-bluegrass album, except when the contemporary drowns out the bluegrass. --Marc Greilsamer

Sorrow and the mandolin.......2006-03-15

Before Jerry Douglas and the Dobro, there Adam Steffey was and his mandolin. I don't know why the band changed the lineup in this way, but it changed the style. With the mandolin, I noticed a lot more traditional sounding tunes, like Little Liza Jane and The Road is a Lover. With the mandolin, the album seems to have a bit more of the banjo.

Alison Krauss's singing is still as ethereal as ever. You can't help but sit and listen. The lead vocal chores are shared throughout the album as Adam, Dan, Ron, and Allison all chime in.

Aside from the traditional tunes, the theme of the album seems to be about sorrow as well as the paths we choose. This is pure storytelling. It is worth the time to read through the lyrics while listening to the songs. It definitely adds to the enjoyment.

Unless you are a fan of traditional country and bluegrass, this may not be for you. However, I would recommend giving this album a listen.

Set your CD player for Auto Repeat, its finger pickin good........2005-05-30

How can one be critical of such perfection seemingly sent direct from his holly bosom. OK!, I know? That isn't exactly helpful to those new to the AKUS phenomenon. I'll try to be level headed about this. If you are reading this, you are looking for guidance, so for those who have resisted buying any AKUS until NOW... Shame on you! But OK, if that be the case, you're best bet for a high saturation of OUTSTANDING ballads is "New Favorite" which has some good B-grass also, or "Forget About It" But this is void of any B-grass whatsoever, (how'd that happen?). For the most balanced album with STRONG Ballads AND B-grass, "So Long So Wrong" is your good first choice. If you prefer the older works of AKUS (lots of B-grass) but can't decide which to buy, your best bet is "Now That I've Found You" without question. Unless you have a specific song title in mind, "Lonely Runs Both Ways" may not be your best first purchase. Stellar performances on ALL titles are to be found without question. Myself? I heard AKUS the first time in 1992. I was awe-struck, and remain so with each release from Alison or AKUS. When god shines, HE SHINES. One day I hope a CD of all of Alisons singles from movie sound-tracks etc... will be released. I own every Alison "album" released so far, other than the occasional wayward single. I can say the same for Dan & Rons works also. Jerry!... lol, Dude, nobody has enough money or time to buy everything YOU've put your personal touch too. However, I can nearly always detect your sound & style, sight unseen whenever I hear it, ". Alison & the group are beyond mere descriptive phrases. Certainly they are perfection, in humility, talent, taste, execution, communion and musicianship. Yet, these words are only glimpses of the greater power one can sense from every utterance AKUS make. Thank You Alison, Dan, Ron, Jerry, Barry et all... I appreciate your music sooooo very much.

Alison stays true to Her Artistic Vision.......2004-06-24

Ever since Elvis began his famed recording career with a Rockabilly cover of Bluegrass Bossman Bill Monroe's signature "Blue Moon of Kentucky" Bluegrass has been regarded by *some* as the poor barefoot hayseed step-child of Country Music. Acoustic Guitars and Banjos and Fiddles were overwhelmed and swallowed up by Electric Guitars and Peddle Steel Guitars. A successful Bluegrass album sold maybe 30,000. The "dirty little secret" in Nashville was that the Bluegrass musicians were the ones who could really PLAY, so talented bluegrassers who wanted to make a decent living became Nashville studio musicians. Bluegrass fans, who are often as fanatical about the music as a religious zealot is about their religion, considered such musicians to have "sold out", and so it was that artists like Ricky Skaggs, Bill Keith, Marty Stuart and Vince Gill were considered. Once big fish in the small Bluegrass pond, they were thought by Bluegrass Purists to have compromised their artistic integrity to become Country successes. (Was it ironic that Ricky Skagg's first Country Hit was a "countrified" version of Lester Flatt's "Don't Get Above Your Raisin'?")

The purpose of this review isn't to give even a thumbnail history lesson of the evolution of Bluegrass and a comparison to more popular and "mainstream" forms of music, but it is important in having a complete appreciation of this album to recognize the historical rarity of a "popular" or "breakout" Bluegrass artist or band or recording. In the past half-century before Alison Krauss the number of Bluegrass recordings which received any degree of popular airplay could be easily counted on one hand:
Flatt and Scruggs "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" - the music used as the musical theme to "Bonnie and Clyde".
Flatt and Scruggs "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" - the theme to "Beverly Hillbillies"
"Dueling Banjos" - from the soundtrack to "Deliverance"
"Rocky Top" - by the Osborne Brothers
"Fox on the Run" - by the Country Gentlemen

Then along came Alison Krauss, with her stunning crystalline voice that caught the attention of the Bluegrass community while she was still a teenager.

She recorded several albums which were among the most well-received in the Bluegrass community leading up to 1995 when her label, Rounder, persuaded her to put together a few new recordings with mostly previous releases, some as "guest star" on other CDs to come up with the compilation "Now That I've Found You"(It may have been called "Greatest Hits" for an artist that had HAD a "hit").

That CD stunned everyone, sold 6 million copies and suddenly Alison Krauss was the hottest female voice in Nashville - winning a handful of CMA awards.

Under the expectations of THAT success Ms. Krauss and her band, Union Station, went to the studio to record the follow-up album.

Many on either side of the "Bluegrass Purist" fence were expecting the next CD to be the "Sell-Out" CD - full of steel guitars and guest duets with Barbra Streisand.

What came instead was THIS CD, "So Long So Wrong", an album that celebrates the Bluegrass heritage that these musicians hail from in addition to showcasing the extraordinary contemporary talents of Alison and Union Station.

Newcomers to Bluegrass expecting a recording with nothing but Alison's voice were likely put out a little that some GUY was singing the lead vocal on several of these cuts. Alison knew that Dan Tyminsky was an extraordinary vocalist YEARS before Dan was chosen to do the singing voiceover for George Clooney in "O Brother Where Art Thou?"

The CD is one of the prominent ones that Alison jokes about in which her lead vocals are predominantly on beautiful but sorrowful ballads like "Deeper Than Crying" and "Find My Way Back to my Heart." These tracks are beautiful and they're NOT "straight bluegrass" for you purists - Ron Block trades in his trusty 5-string for some tasty acoustic guitar work and these are closer to folk or even just "unplugged pop" than to bluegrass. The Dan Tyminski tracks are rollicking rip-roaring bluegrass monsters like "I'll Remember You, Love in my Prayers" and "The Road is a Lover".

This CD is one of the very best by Alison Krauss and Union Station, and that is saying something. If you're a fan of Alison, or maybe you just heard something about "those musicians on the O Brother soundtrack" this is a recording you just have to add to your collection.

A+: Excellent Songs, Singing, Musicianship.......2004-05-02

If you like New Grass or folk, spirited American acoustic, banjo and fiddle, you'll like Alison Krauss. If you don't have anything by her yet, So Long So Wrong is the album to get. I've listened extensively to her albums, and I rate this one the best so far. Excellent selection of melodic numbers. She's never sung better. Her musicians are in very top form.

An outstanding set.

Great bluegrass and folk sound.......2004-03-15

Alison Krauss and her Union Station bandmates do a fine job on So Long, So Wrong. Alison's singing and fiddle playing dominate, especially on the ballads "Looking In The Eyes Of Love", "I Can Let Go Now", "Deeper Than Crying", "It Doesn't Matter", "Happiness" and "There Is A Reason". However, Union Station's guitarist, Dan Tyminski, who sings lead on "No Place To Hide", "The Road Is A Lover", and "Blue Trail Of Sorrow", also is a strong singer. Furthermore, Adam Steffey(mandolin), Ron Block(banjo and guitar), and Barry Bales(acoustic bass), the remaining Union Station members, really shine on this one. The instrumental "Little Liza Jane", on which all the band members get into the act, is a driving bluegrass tune. There's no percussion anywhere on the record, but thanks to Barry's thumping bass lines, the songs have a rhythmic, flowing feel to them, which more than makes up for the lack of a drumbeat. There aren't any musical gimmicks here, but there is a great bluegrass and folk sound. So Long, So Wrong is a fine collection of songs from a truly talented group of singers and musicians.

Off Color but Fun.......2007-06-12

Tim Wilson is definitely not for the politically correct but he is lots of fun and this recording is virtually all new material. It is not a recycled collection of his old routines. That by itself makes it worthwhile.

Mixed in with his southern style of humor are some of his songs. These too are not for the faint of heart but are also great at lampooning the foibles of humanity.

The language is a bit rough but the laughs are there.

I know Funny.......2007-06-08

I know funny, but Tim Wilson could read the phone book and make me laugh. He has baby boomers like me pegged, especially us of the "southern" variety. This is the first disc I have purchased that reflects Tim as he really is in concert, language and all. Saying it or singing it, Tim Wilson knows funny.

But I could Be Wrong--Isn't wrong!.......2007-05-16

We have seen Tim Wilson in concert, and listened to him on the radio for several years. This is one of his funniest CDs ever. I loved the cut where he goes though about 10 different southern accents with flawless perfection. He truly is a talented writer and his voice is great. You'll laugh until you cry at the title song, and the standup is hilarious if you are of a certain age. A Winner right out of the gate!

Tim Wilson's newest CD.......2007-05-14

Great fun! I love Tim's irreverent look at society. Warning : the title song contains multiple uses of the f-bomb, so if you're easily offended, this isn't for you!

But I could Be Wrong about alot of things!!!.......2007-05-13

Tim Wilson is a very funny man and most of this cd is good. I loved the title song. If you haveany of his other works you will like this one too!

Playing off of Elvis Presley's 1959 album 50 Million Elvis Presley Fans Can't Be Wrong, right down to the gold-lame suits the quartet dons on the cover, stalwart rockers Bon Jovi make a strong case that they're one of the true populist bands of their era with a box set that serves up dozens of previously unheard and seldom heard offerings. Designed as a heaping 20-year anniversary feast for insatiable fans, the four-disc/bonus DVD collection is surprisingly vital and consistent, considering that just about everything included was initially either rejected or related to B-sides and soundtracks. The high quality of these castoffs is attributable to the band's habit of preparing dozens of tracks for each album and cutting loose strong compositions that didn't fit with the theme of the completed product. Thus, some stylistic stretches were left in the vaults (check out the Southside Johnny-style r&b of "Love Ain't Nothing But a Four Letter Word"). Bon Jovi fans will find be delighted by this collection, and even skeptics may find themselves reconsidering these Jersey survivors. --Steven Stolder

For fans, I suppose this would be a rather big delight; for non-fans, it's nothing that will turn you on to the band from Jersey. They had some okay, cheesy hits in the '80s - but listening to some of their modern songs from this collection proves how completely out of touch they are nowadays.

For any Jovi fan..........2007-01-04

How can you not buy this box set? Enough said.

On Music for Two, banjo wizard Béla Fleck and stand-up bass maestro Edgar Meyer effortlessly sail through a challenging program that includes compositions by Bach, a sonata by Henry Eccles, a Miles Davis tune, and a number of self-composed finger twisters. The amazing thing about this varied selection is not its eclecticism--which is only to be expected with these two--but that it all blends together so seamlessly. Fleck's jazz-tinged compositions (like "The Lake Effect") and Meyer's bluegrass-inspired tunes (like "Wishful Thinking") sit so comfortably next to Bach's baroque jewels and Davis's cool jazz that it makes you question the entire of concept of musical classification. (In fact, the Bach preludes, inventions, and partitas translate so well to the banjo/bass arrangements, you have to wonder if old JSB might not have had a bit of bluegrass in his soul.) Music for Two was recorded live at a series of 2001 concerts, where Fleck and Meyer proved conclusively that the banjo and the bass were capable of remarkable subtlety and not just twang and boom. --Michael John Simmons

Customer Reviews:

A Must Have.......2007-04-25

These two really sound good together. If you're not so impressed with the music when you first hear it (I don't know if that's possible), check out the DVD that comes with it. You will gain such an appreciation for the music that's being played. Watch out for the guy making the banjo jokes. This CD is really an incredible work, I can't say it enough. Very relaxing music.

Broad Spectrum Virtuosity.......2007-04-23

This album runs the gamut of styles and genre. It is hard to get bored when a musical turn is but a few notes away. The two musicians integrate their instruments with incredible skill. I hate to give it a four star rating. The music is worth the 5. The loooooong, live applause tracks detract from the album. The asides by the musicians are sometimes hard to hear. Minor aggravations aside,this album plays frequently, very frequently, in our home,car, iPods, etc.

Cool Pairing for Meyer/Fleck Fans.......2007-01-02

I've seen both Edgar Meyer and Bela Fleck live (unfortunately not together) and I really think this album just captures the magic of their live shows: I can almost see them in my living room together! For those not so familiar with the music of one or both the inclusion of classical tunes with those composed by Meyer/Fleck and other contemporary songwriters is a cool drink of water. Music for Two is a good intro to the world of cozy bluegrass.

Bela Fleck + Edgar Meyer = strange mixture .......2006-11-10

Bela Fleck is one of the my jazz favorites... And hi with combination called Edgar Meyer are... great music!!!

Virtuosity Knows No Musical Boundaries.......2006-10-22

Béla Fleck & Edgar Meyer are both extraordinarily accomplished musicians who spend much of their time in very different worlds: Fleck in his newgrass space and Meyer in a more classical mode. But each has travelled in the other's territory before, and on this CD they connect around more genres than you can shake a stick at. In addition to their own compositions they tackle many of their joint favorites. The affection shows in the passion of the playing and the obvious camaraderie. And the accompanying DVD is a treat. Don't miss this one.

Two comely teenage lesbian lovers from Russia who happen to sing? That seems more like marketing masterstroke than pop music likelihood, so it's fair to question the authenticity of t.A.T.u.'s English language debut. It's impossible to know where t.A.T.u.'s talent begins and ends and just how much influence their various handlers and producer Trevor Horn had over 200 Km/h in the Wrong Lane, but it's probably a moot point to the intended demographic. Horn's background working with electro-pop dandies Pet Shop Boys and Frankie Goes to Hollywood is evident in the crisp, driving synth cushioning singers Lena Katina and Julia Volkova's gossamer vocals. Wink-nudge lyrical references to girls loving girls--presented in serviceable if phonetic English--are in evidence, though they're more coy than graphic. "All the Things She Said," a sparkly, chorus-driven rave-up, seems to make the case for sexual equality, while "Show Me Love"--which appears in regular and extended versions--is a dance floor missive aimed straight at the clubs. Best, though, is an unintentionally ironic cover of the Smiths' "How Soon Is Now." The song, a benchmark of loneliness and hopelessness, is utterly transformed into a chirpy duet which, all things considered, may be the best gimmick of all! --Kim Hughes

Awesome Beats, Horrible singing........2007-01-31

I highly respect the producers for making such nice songs. Unfortunately it's ruined by two Russian "lesbian" couples. The singing is horrible; they use their "good enough" voice and edit it on music software. I have no idea why people think they're so good. It's because most people are only attractive by the lesbian acts or their cute looks.

The CD is ok.......2007-01-29

t.a.t.u is in fact the biggerst gimmick of all the time. (what there name stands for............the kissing.........the taking off of clothes.............and so on and so forth. This album is ok if you take it for what it is: a gimmicky duo of russian females who can't sing and have no real talent but have just enough voice so it can be doctored up with pro tools and placed of pop-like dance beats. If you take the album for what it is its ok but it is in no way new, different, rock or alterative and is not "the best album ever" like some reviewers have posted.

Great CD.......2007-01-04

I love this band, and I received the cd in a timely manner.

I love tatu.......2007-01-01

This band is really something wonderful.
One thing I just wanted to add, the song Malchik Gay... the english translation is Gay boy, so, yeah...if you have something against gays, this band is not for you considering they are gay.

Please...please, take my advice: Buy this immediately........2006-09-25

This is the best CD I've ever purchased. There are only eight unique tracks, but even a few of them would merit the purchase. Any song on here would be the greatest song any other mainstream pop artist had ever recorded. Most artists would strive to have their 'best-of' collections sound like "200 km/h."

What makes this so appealing to me is the dark undertone in every song. None of this is truly radio-friendly -- the lyrics range from poetic ("All this weeping in the air/who can tell where it will fall?/Through floating forests in the air/'Cross the rolling open sea") that fit perfectly with the ethreal melody ("Clowns"), to, well, educated ("Random acts of mindlessness/commonplace occurences/chances and surprises/another state of consciousness). Too educated, in fact, to make it onto the radio or achieve true chart stardom (this album went gold -- good, but nothing special).

The ranges of the singers are very versatile -- one has a lower register with belting capabilities, the other a breathy soprano. They fit together nicely and the overall mastery this album exhibits -- vocally (mainstream vocals, that is), lyrically, and musically, makes it worth your purcahse.

With his songwriting muse on pause, Bob Dylan spent the mid-'90s recording old folk and blues standards with just himself, a harmonica, and an acoustic guitar. Good As I Been to You was the first effort. For the follow-up, World Gone Wrong, he went even further into the dark night of the soul. His voice aged by road-weary experience and informed by lifelong insight delivers just the right pathos to these tales of lost love and existential blight. Tom Paley, one of the original New Lost City Ramblers, popularized "Love Henry," a symbolic tale of a businessman who loses his soul traveling through the halls of corruption. Dylan delivers it as a funeral march and surrounds it with songs of similar sentiment. A modern acoustic blues classic. --Rob O'Connor

The world gone wrong, but Bob's still good..........2007-06-05

Bob Dylan comes from an age of music where "what you play is what you get." Despite what some computer corrected music sounds like these days, human music often involves mistakes, flubs, cracking voices, and one-take cuts. Way back in the nascent days of folk, these elements were accepted warts and all. Voices and instruments blended acoustically in all their perfect imperfection. Much modern music propogates the illusion of "the perfect performance" by filtering out gargles, croaks, and gutterals. Some recordings don't sound human. Dylan stands in stark opposition to such fiddling. As such, he never fully embraced the world of electronic music, though working with Daniel Lanois brought him close. In the early 1990s, as 80s synth-drenched pop drowned in a mire of grunge, Dylan exhumed his former life as an unplugged troubador on two solo acoustic albums, "Good As I Been To You" and "World Gone Wrong." Neither included any originals. They feature a raw unedited Dylan squealing through folk and blues classics. Throughout, he flubs and frets notes, his voice bubbles, and his guitar sounds road weary. Despite these seeming flaws, Dylan delivers memorable and poingant performances. Though nowhere near as polished, these late folk efforts evoke the earlier "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" and "The Times They Are A-Changin'." "World Gone Wrong" follows the latter in theme: melancholic, brooding, and fed up. The one-take cuts grind this mood into the listener's brain.

"Strange things have happened, like never before," the first song, also the title track, opens. In the CD's arcane liner notes, which also evoke an earlier surreal era, Dylan credits this song to "the Mississippi Sheiks, a little known de facto group whom in their former glory mustve been something to behold. rebellion against routine," he continues, "seems to be their strong theme. all their songs are raw to the bone & are faultlessly made for these modern times (the New Dark Ages) nothing effete about the Mississippi Sheiks." Fourteen years after Dylan wrote that, one can look up "Mississippi Sheiks" on Wikipedia for more information. Is anything obscure anymore? The CD continues how it started: world-weary, out of control, and wasted. "Love Henry" tells the story of a cold-blooded murder from a parrot's point of view. When the murderess calls the bird down to her, it replies, "I won't fly down, I can't fly down / And light on your right knee / A girl who would murder her own true love / Would kill a little birdlike me." "Blood In My Eyes," also attributed to the Mississippi Sheiks, seeps with desperate sexual passion. Dylan's rendition almost hurts. "Ragged & Dirty" and "Broke Down Engine" pick up the pace but not the mood. Both tell stories of people at the end of their rope. "Delia" and "Stack A Lee" revisit the brutal murder theme. The stunning, and almost meditative, "Two Soliders" recalls death on the battlefield and a mother's pain. Dylan says he picked it up from the now late Jerry Garcia. "Jack-A-Roe" and "Lone Pilgrim" conclude the album appropriately.

Some saw Dylan's cover albums as a sign that his muse had taken flight. Others saw it as an easy way to fulfill his soon to expire contract. Some were extactic at the return of "the acoustic Dylan." Some cried, for the umpteenth time, "comeback!" Nonetheless, the 1980s and 1990s left some skeptics weary of Dylan's direction. They need not have worried. Following an "MTV Unplugged" album, Dylan would start a streak that still hasn't let up, beginning with 1997's amazing "Time Out of Mind." In retrospect, "World Gone Wrong" fits right in with Dylan's overall ouvre: unpredictable, untarnished by needless perfection, and unapologetic.

Pure Dylan.......2007-06-01

Dylan is a master. Trashed and criticized as the man who could not sing, he has endured. If you like pure country blues, I think this is Dylan at his best. He brings me to a time that I understand. Hey, hey babe...I got blood in my eyes for you...I love this work.

L. Mora

Grows on you.......2007-05-06

Really lovely. One of his very best albums. For a man with a strange voice, he has great facility with it and ability to evoke the most subtle emotions and overtones. Just great.

Dylan Being Dylan.......2007-01-09

Dylan is as enigmatic as ever in this offering . He never ceases to surprise. Dylan Fans will like this CD, those unfamiliar with the Master,s works will probably hate it. I personally enjoyed it very much, but I,m a dyed in the wool DYLAN FAN!!!!!

Pure and Good, but Can't Understand the Lyrics.......2006-11-15

Dylan is authentic and sounds so on this acoustic guitar and voice cd. The songs are great classics, but the recording is weak insofar as the lyrics are not clear. This album would be so much better if you could hear the great classic lyrics of these great songs. So, 4 stars instead of 5, as the weak recording detracts from what otherwise would be a classic.

By now, everyone knows how adventurous Radiohead are, which makes this live record--a hairy rock-band cliché--seem like a strange capper to their decidedly cliché-rejecting records. But throughout the hubbub surrounding Kid A, and its Amnesiac companion piece, Radiohead never embraced the notion that they're reinventing anything. Even while a tempest of critics hailed the band as saviors, pulling rock from the jaws of consumerist self-destruction, the band ignored it all, going into stadiums and working out their twisted angst through angry, direct means. "National Anthem"'s fuzzed-out riff rages aggressively behind Thom Yorke's crazed, breath-scat vocal, giving the song a rollicking edge that was nowhere on Kid A. The same effect is heard on "Idioteque," as Yorke, getting backup vocal help from the crowd, sings over an acoustic beat, removing the distant, electronic touch of the studio version. "True Love Waits" aptly ends the record with Yorke and a solo acoustic guitar, which finds just the right touch on a song that Radiohead have played with for years (long-term fans should note the first ever appearance on record of the track). In the end, Radiohead don't really stray too far from the original templates of these songs, they merely play up the highs and milk the lows, just like any good rock band should. -- Matthew Cooke

Umm...where is "Fake Plastic Trees"? .......2007-03-25

Okay. I love Radiohead to death. But i have one problem. Where in the heck is "Fake Plastic Trees"? That song is supposed to be on here. Live Recordings? I am so glad that the dreadful "Creep" isn't on here, although it wouldn't be too terribley bad. I am happy with everything else, but am saddened that "Trees" didn't make the cut. I wonder why? Is the song not good enough? I have heard the song played live plenty of times, and that's why i'm surprised that it isn't on here. Oh well. I'm not complaining as much as i could be. :)

RADIOHEAD Is my favorite band, but..........2007-03-06

First, let me say that Radiohead is BY FAR my favorite band, and I've listened to many. The reason I gave this CD only three stars is not because it is bad (the quality of Radiohead's material makes that nearly impossible), but because it could have been MUCH better. How could it have been better? Firstly, I heard the live version of "The National Anthem" at the Glastonberry Festival, and it is much better and all-around harder rocking than this much-vaunted version. Secondly, the recording quality is sub-par, which is generally not a huge problem, but Radiohead is a band that cannot be truly appreciated without good recordings. Finally, there is only 8 songs on here, and while "True Love Waits" is an appreciated inclusion, there should've been more tracks, especially for the price of admission.

great.......2007-01-14

incredible live versions of 7 previously recorded radiohead songs, plus one song (true love waits) that has never been released before, incredible sound and performance

Can't See Them Live? Buy This........2006-07-13

So we all know that a CD can't replace the live experience, but this one definitely withstands the test of time. The recording values are unparalleled by other band's live sets and the song selections capture the band's adventurous ethos from the first second. From the opening radio static of "The National Anthem" to the the final acoustic fade-out of "True Love Waits," this album surprises almost every time you listen to it, both in the ways in which Yorke & Co. complicate the original studio versions and in the performance abandon which they bring to their songs; you can hear it coming from the speakers.

Radiohead is the best live band I have ever had the privilege to witness (and I've seen Floyd, the Stones, et al). I've seen them in Grant Park in Chicago and in the Sound Advice Amphitheatre in Boca Raton. Both times I've had epiphonies (sonic epiphanies) attending their performance (these were certainly aided by the monster video screens and certain unnamed chemicals). I am struck by how well these epiphonies translate to CD here. "Morning Bell" is especially effective on this CD (just like it is in the flesh). When the band goes out into the electrosphere on their assorted gadgetry, it goes to such unexpected places that one can't help but swoon into oblivion (video/chemical-aided or otherwise, I can attest). This unexpected element is what keeps them at their place as the best band out there today; they are constantly able to surprise themselves, I am sure. You hear such prime examples of this aleatory sublime on this live CD, certainly in a much better fashion on the myriad bootlegs that exist of their live shows. The editing, recording, and performances on here are all superb. Buy this, whether you've seen them live or not.

There are two colors in my head.......2006-07-05

While this may just be a release of live songs that have already been released, it is a must have in my opinion. The songs that I like best are; Like Spinning Plates, Everything in It's Right Place, and Dollars and Cents. The live versions equal or better the originals. In many cases I feel they are more powerful. True Love Waits is also good. I'm not sure what release if any that one is from.

Album Description

In just their few short years of existence, Combichrist has become one of the most iconic bands in the electronic music genre. After finishing up their tour in support of KMFDM in the fall of 2006, Combichrist earned even more notoriety among fans of industrial rock who had previously never heard of them. With an ever growing army of fans, Combichrist is poised to release What The Fuck Is Wrong With You People?, their newest album in 2007. Featuring last year's break out single, "Get Your Body Beat," the album is an explosive barrage of corrosive beats, leering vocals, and acidic melodies. WTFIWWYP? is a high energy, adrenaline charged piece of sonic battery. If you don't find yourself sweaty, naked, out of breath, and bleeding by the time the album is finished, you weren't listening!

Not worth the money........2007-05-11

I am highly unimpressed. This album is not worth 5 dollars. I was really excited when i heard this was being realeased. Just to be dissapointed, the songs are boring.. very boring... Actually, i didnt like any of the songs except Brain Bypass and Get your Body Beat....

My advice, don't buy this album.

Disappointing...........2007-04-27

After Everybody Hates You I was expecting a less drunken sound. Sure some tracks will fill the floors and get bodies moving but this needs to be heard outside the clubs.

Combichrist keeps evolving..........2007-04-25

I agree w/ the review below, so what if they go in a different direction. There are at least 5 songs that are in the spirit of EHY, and besides, their EP's seem more techno than EHY or JoG, so it's not like they've been doing the same thing for 5 years now.
The double album second CD is also a great treat, continually mixed, not as mellow as Everybody Hates You's second CD.

Andy knows what he's doing........2007-04-19

Combichrist is in one of those spaces right now where they are probably becoming to popular for the elitists in the industrial scene to like anymore, but not quite popular enough outside of it yet either. However, I doubt this bothers Mr. Andy Pelgua, mastermind behind Combichrist and several other electronic projects.
You see, i'm pretty sure he has no BS illusions about being a dark poet or tortured, or overly self important as alot of groups in the ebm genre tend to get. I'm willing to bet he knows that he's a party band. Combichrist is all about the "get crazy" element of things.
A few parts of this album come off as angry, but even if its a party hard ebm group, its still hard ebm. However a great deal of it(at least to me) feels tongue in check enough to pass though. Essentially, if VNV are supposed to be the spiritual successors of Front 242, Combichrist is probably the successor to something like the Revolting Cocks.
People expecting yet another "everybody hates you" are probably in for some disapointment. Less goofy samples, more straight vocals on this one. At places however it does seem a bit less Combichrist and more like a harder version of one of his other bands, Icon of Coil, or more like his pre-Everybody Hates You Combichrist work from the album "the Joy of Gunz", except of cours with more straight up vocals. Alot of people will probably be angry about the changes however, but I think it would be more boring if he had just done the same album over and over. You can at least tell he's making some progress, and breathing some fun into the often stale genre of ebm style industrial.

Meh.......2007-04-09

I really wanted this album to be brilliant. Instead it's just simply "okay". It's hard to tell what Andy was shooting for - gone are the straight-up simple beat-heavy tracks of his last album - and gone are the harsher sounds of his earlier work. It's like he couldn't decide if he wanted to be more hardcore or more mainstream so instead he ends up being neither. I so badly want this album to kill on the dance floor but I'm afraid the best it's going to do is fade unceremoniously. Meh.

Stick to reviewing Elvis and books about hairstyles from the 1980's. Van IS still the man, and will always be so. He knows more about music and writing music than any band to come through over the last ten years. Guns and Roses...... rubbish

Get over yourself, fat boy.......2006-04-15

Just who wants to hear Van Morrison complain like an old ninny about the press, or the pitfalls of being a godlike, mythical celebrity trapped by his own legend and fame--and all of it contained in bland rocking-chair Muzak jazz. Three chords and some bad lyrics and right away they come on with a messiah complex. (You fans and your empty lives are partly to blame for all this.) "I just want to sing my songs," he whines. (Who's stopping you?) John Waters once said: if you want to be left alone, pick up a monkey wrench and fix toilets and stay out of show business. Besides, I didn't know Van the Man was all that famous. Does anyone under 50 know who he is? I sure haven't seen any articles in the paper about him lately. Old hippies might still babble about "Into The Mystic" and his performance in "The Last Waltz." I heard him sing "Gloria" on an oldies station the other day and I went straight for Rush Limbaugh. Are the royals in England so desexed these days that the Daily Sun has to write up Van Morrison to this degree of musical paranoia??

a great CD.......2006-03-25

This CD is one of Van's best. I highly recommend to not only Van fans, but casual listeners.

A nicely diverse album with Saint James Infirmary.......2005-10-20

A nicely diverse album, one of Vans best in many years. Saint James Infirmary is a much recorded standard that dates back to Joe "King" Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Stan Kenton, Pete Seeger, Josh White, Dave Van Ronk, Jackie Wilson, Joe Cocker, White Stripes, Eric Clapton. Van Morrison's version makes a worthwhile addition (for a very different interpretation, try the excellent Joerg Sommermeyer 2002 version on "Total Overdrive", [...])

I never "got" Van Morrison...till now..........2005-07-19

I never "got" Van Morrison. For years reviewers (Lester Bangs for instance) have gone ga-ga over Astral Weeks placing it 2nd only to the Beach Boys Pet Sounds in their all-time hit parades. When I was a kid I bought TB Sheets & thought "What's all the hub bub over this guy? This LP is gawd awful!" Sure I heard the hits on the radio. Good stuff, but I never bought another Van record. Plus I thought Them rocked & Morrison would never be as good as that again.
Then came the Martin Scorcese films on the blues on PBS, the one on the British blues scene in particular. While Jeff Beck & Tom Jones (Tom Jones?) are stumbling around listening to & trying to emulate a great old blues song, in walks Van Morrison, picks up an acoustic guitar & starts wailing the blues like falling off a bike. At that moment, my opinion of the Man changed. I went out (to Amazon) & immediately purchased "What's Wrong With This Picture" his, at the time, latest album. Slowly but surely I am now on a quest to buy every Van Morrison CD & book. Even went to Atlantic City to see him last month on a rare concert date & paid the most ever for a show. Color me converted. Hell, I'm even trying to "get" Astral Weeks...maybe Lester was right...

Top drawer.......2007-02-20

Their best albums get better the more you listen & this one dosen't disapoint. I bought the vinyl when it first came out and upon listening the other day discovered another sub-plot that I'd never noticed and split a gut all over again. One thing though. Search out the movie version of this. Don't believe it's ever been out on DVD but I've seen the VHS (& beta) versions around.

Yea, now ye may be consumed by thee righteous truth: in book 5 Firesign, side one, hear ye, "everything you know is wrong". Amen

Dig a hole deeper enough and everybody will wanna jump in........2005-06-22

This 1974 outing predicted the whole UFO / Roswell interest that reached it's peak 20 years later on TV and many of the new-age concepts now considered common place. But it's the timing of the jokes, the expert delivery and the well fleshed out characters that make this one of the Firesign's best. A coherent, honestly conceived work that inspires repeated listenings and endless quoting.

Firesign explores Aliens.......2005-05-06

I'm going to be brutally honest about this album. Their other generally early efforts like HOW CAN YOU BE..., DON'T CRUSH THAT DWARF..., WAITING FOR ELECTRITIAN are the first albums you should get if you're new to the Firesign boys. Those were surreial multi-layered timeless classics, that were ahead of their time, and both those and the Bozos album told the future for some things.

For all I know there aren't extra-terrestrials, but maybe back in 1974 anything was possible.

The first 5 or so minutes of this album is absolutley hilarious, and draws the listener in to hear more. But by the time of the Civil War recording, they begin to overkill, the bits drag along and much of it is inaudible during unexplained thudding in the slavery bit. The album doesn't get better except maybe the phone conversations, and I love how Cox walks out and the TV remains on. But the album never really recovers, and I sit there wondering why I'm listening to nothing. It's not funny, it's not music, or a real story to follow, it's nothing. Minus one star. There is a really abrupt, anti-climaxed ending, and no sequel opportunities possible. Brilliant!

The thing that was most surprising was that this album doesn't grow on you. It basically gets less funny, because you know what they are gonna say. In an album like DWARF you hear something new in the backround, or find a connection everytime. This was just a weak album, and I heard it was a classic, but it wasn't. Minus another.

The greatest hits of Firesign album has included the Army Training Film which seems like the only thing out of context that would make sense, but not neccisairily the best of the album.

Maybe I'm wrong, because people seem to call it one of the great Firesign Theatre albums. I reccomend you buy the first four albums and listen in chronological order, as the albums even cleverly sound as if they fade in and out of eachother (more proof of Firesign's brilliance.)

This would be good as a 6th or 7th purchase as I find it's definatley not their best, but try it out anyway, because this is simply my opinion.

The movie is them lip-synching (unsucessfully for the most part) to the album. Nino's commentary on holes, Cox's conclusion to side one, and the two fore fathers in the middle of a trip are not included in the film. (We really needed to see the snake river and endless sea.) The only new bit was about 3 seconds of Gary hitching up Cox's trailor. Dis-a-ponit-ing. However, the waiting room style of the music of the end credits music is irresistable.

The perfect entry point for Firesign neophytes.......2004-12-27

Of all the Firesign Theater's essential recordings, "Everything You Know" is the most accessible. All the signature elements are here: savage wordplay, pitiless skewering of pop culture and political icons, and the pitch-perfect comic timing of the performances.

The TV shows and films within the radioplay are pure genius. The "Happy Hour News" with Pat Hat's interview of motorcycle daredemon Rebus Caneebus (hey, honey, y'ever heard of me?) plays like this evening's local news; the travelogue "The Golden Hind" features a weird alien encounter in the Arizona desert; and the "Army Training Film" with Genl. Curtis Goatheart (they think he is insane - yet he outranks them. His option: command!) is at once hilarious and as chilling as a Donald Rumsfeld press conference.

It sounds heavy, although it's anything but. The action jumps from scene to scene at breakneck speed, and the layers of subtext aren't always apparent - which is why the Firesign Theater's miniature epics demand repeated listenings. It's as absurd as Monty Python, as witty as Oscar Wilde, and as playful as James Joyce.

The story and presentation of "Everything You Know" is a bit more linear than Firesign classics like "Don't Crush That Dwarf" and "Waiting for the Electrician", making it an excellent introduction to Firesign's rich body of comic work. Absolutely essential listening!
