Another attempt at combining traditional and pop musics with skillful handlings of Celtic instrumentation and mainstream rock songcrafting. Nevertheless, Great Big Sea's sound has begun develop a staleness here due to each new album's thematic and sonic similarities. The album runs the gamut of tempos, from ballads to rollicking chanteys, and it's closing track, "Fortune," is an energetic reel in the manner of crowd-pleaser "Mari-Mac." ~ Travis Drageset

| | Great Big Sea Something Beautiful CD (2004)
Sea Of No Cares
$13.39 
On Something Beautiful, Great Big Sea starts putting more emphasis on the "rock" in folk-rock, and the results are impressive. The departure of bassist Darrell Power led the remaining three founding members to add bassist Murray Foster (of Moxy Früvous) and drummer Kris MacFarlane to their lineup for these recording sessions, and the resulting sound is more muscular than has been typical of their studio work in the past: "Shines Right Through Me" and "When I Am King" are both straight-up rockers that open the program with a bang, and there is also a fine cover version of Runrig's "Pride of the Summer" (here titled "Beat the Drum") as well as a gorgeous rendition of ...

| | Great Big Sea Hard And The Easy CD (2005) Special Edition
Sea Of No Cares
$13.65
This set includes a special 45-minute DVD featuring an informal session with the band, complete with reflections, laughs, false starts, and stripped down songs. The CD includes all-acoustic tracks of traditional and local songs of Newfoundland.
If you think you've figured out Great Big Sea's formula, you're right: take sea shanties, fishing songs, and the odd original tune that sounds like a folk song and deliver them all with lusty energy on acoustic instruments. If the Pogues had come from Newfoundland and treated alcohol as a peripheral rather than a central concern, and if their singer were big and burly rather than dissolute and disgusting, you'd have something very much like Great Big Sea. That formula has been pretty consistent over the preceding 13 years, so how much you'll enjoy their ninth album will depend largely on how much you enjoyed their first eight, although there is a difference: this one relies less on fishing and seafaring ...

On Mary Black's seventh solo album, CIRCUS, the usually upbeat singer explores the complex themes of isolation and loneliness within relationships. Still sticking to her Celtic roots, but with a decidedly modern twist, she opens up vocally in a deeper way than previously, making the album an empathetic experience for anyone who has ever felt the pain of ...
