CD Reviews

One of Junoon's best!
lumiere316 | Wooster, OH USA | 04/26/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is probably the album that got me hooked on Junoon two years ago. Although I'm American and do not speak a word of Urdu (well, not too much in any case), I find their music a refreshing mix of rock and traditional. The percussion and guitar parts are great, and I get the songs stuck in my head despite the fact that I don't understand them. (There are lyrics in english translation online however.) This is a bit of soul-searching album, and a good look at what Islam is really about. Enjoy!"
Great Blend of Styles.

"This flight of Obsession is a great blend of styles for anyone that enjoys Urdu/Hindi music. This album is a must have for listeners interested in Urdu/Hindi music or western rock styles. Parvaaz is very different compared to typical Urdu/Hindi music that comes from movies, i.e: the music in Parvaaz is not repetitive as most hindi movie music is. Parvaaz offers feelings of love, peace, religion and reality about the world around us, and the world to come. The lyrics in the song Pyar Bina (Without love) is very similar to pop and movie songs in this same language with a unique twist. Aside from this, the album offers songs like Aleph and Mitti, which make us, think of God and where we all are going when this life is over. There are also fast love songs like Sajna that add to the unique styles in this album. I think this is the best album so far from Junoon and I look forward to their upcoming album."
Somethings from the East are not Bad
Paul Janes-Brown | Makawao, HI United States | 01/24/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This band is the anti-dote to the Taliban. You do not need to understand the language to appreciate the feelings expressed by these artists. They are a true blend of the best of the western music and eastern music. They rock! Their percussion and vocal style is eastern, but their guitar work, is very western. There is not a clunker in the whole lot, and the repeat of the opening cut, "Bulleya" is great, because this is clearly the anthem of the cd. These guys deserve a world tour. Their use of classic sufi poets,for their lyrical inspiration grounds their work. Other bands might want to emulate this fount for their lyrics. Poets for lyrics, musicians for music. What a concept!!! BUY THIS. U-2 fans will particularly like this cd."
