All Hail The Seeker

Bob Dylan- Tempest - 3.5

Nothing here that hasn’t been done.  Bob Dylan is a classic and I love listening to his new stuff a lot even when it’s not all that interesting.  I love the style and feel of this album although if I were the musicians, I think I might shoot myself.  Playing the same thing over and over and over has to get boring after a minute or two.   

Occular Audio Experiment- The Witch's Whispering Tomes (pt1) – 2.5

Talk about being right out of the 1960’s.  They almost didn’t need to have separate songs.  It might have been easier to pull an Iron Butterfly and just have one giant song.  It’s not like this stuff will be on any radio station other than the 2AM college station.  I’m not saying I don’t like it, I actually really like it.  I actually could listen to this cd in the background all day and never realize it was on until I needed an antidepressant.  I think I’ll be okay  waiting for part 2, I have a feeling I know what it will sound like.

Anti-Flag- A New Kind of Army - .5

Oh my God, just shoot me.  One or two songs from these guys a week would be enough, but to listen to the entire cd?  “That’s All” was all I could take.

Allman Brothers Band – ABB –  4

Awesome, I actually listened through the entire cd and didn’t get sick of it once.  I don’t think I ever really appreciated the chemistry and talent that these guys had. I never expected to really enjoy a southern rock cd but this was one of those cds that does pretty much everything right. 

Ghits – The Cult

I’ve liked the Cult since “Love” and with very few exceptions, believe it or not “Elektric” and “The Cult” cds I like every album.  Ciao Edie and Brother Wolf and Sister Moon are two of my favorites.  Ian Astbury’s voice has changed over the years, like more rock vocalists, but I’m glad he’s still on his game.
