Member CD Reviews Tompee Z. (tompee) from CASTAIC, CA Reviewed on 4/19/2008... AWESOME cover of black sabbath's paranoid! you have to hear this to believe it!
CD ReviewsPleasant, but boring Anthony Taylor | Sitka, AK USA | 06/10/2003 (3 out of 5 stars) "Gus' first album, "Gus," was an inventive mix of driving beats, emotional lyrics, and oddball sounds thrown in at precisely the right moment. It was unpredictable and interesting."Word Of Mouth Parade" was mellower, more accoustic, more subtle. The tunes tended toward pop without going over the edge into silliness."Gus" is by far one of my top-ten albums of all time. "WoMP" is decent, but not quite great."Uncivilized Love" follows the downward trend. For me, the sound lacks the vibrant inventiveness of his first album, or the candy-like pop quality of his second. There are some jewels, to be sure; "Cadillac Tears" is worth the price of the album just by itself. The inventiveness isn't sustained, though, as demonstrated by "12345," which borrows Muddy Waters' lyrics, "Got my mojo workin', but it just don't work on you."Overall, the album seems rather... boring. Although the sounds are pleasant, and I enjoy listening, there's nothing engaging, nothing to involve me as a listener.But, of course, your milage may vary. There will be a lot of people who find this is his best album, while his first is too noisy and his second too adolescent." Not Boring! Quite the Contrary. F. Salido | Rogers, AR | 08/17/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "I don't understand how another amazon reviewer found this album boring. One listen to "Never Before Our Time" should persuade you to turn the volume up to ten. Let's put it this way: if you don't like Grant Lee Phillips' ever evolving folk-rock music, then you probably won't like Gus Black's album. (Gus Black's "When you go" is most reminiscent of Grant Lee's best songs.) However, if you adore textured, acoustic-guitar driven melodies, American-heartland songwriting, achingly tender singing, then you might (you just might) learn to love this album.While there are many outstanding songs on this album, I suggest you listen to the entire album while driving at dawn or dusk toward a new destination."
