 (1 Customer Review)
If there was any question that Jakob Dylan is more than merely the progeny of his legendary father, REBEL, SWEETHEART, the fifth album by The Wallflowers, should put those questions to rest. Produced by Brendan O'Brien, (who also toured with the band as a guest guitarist for a month prior to the start of recording), this collection is a well-crafted batch of songs about time and its inevitable passage. Not surprisingly, there is plenty of existential second-guessing, whether it is the questioning of faith at the heart of "God Says Nothing Back" or the renewal of faith that is "All Things New Again." Throughout the Wallflowers career, Rami Jaffee has been the band's unsung hero, playing a pivotal role as a creative counterweight to his more famous frontman. On SWEETHEART Jaffee's contributions are even more apparent, providing-- on songs like "The Beautiful Side of Somewhere" and "Days of Wonder"--the kind of keyboard-driven nuance reminiscent of Danny Federici or Roy Bittan's contributions to Springsteen's vintage work with the E Street Band. With REBEL, SWEETHEART, Dylan and his Wallflowers strike that perfect balance between an energetic full-band sound, clever lyrics and well-crafted hooks.

| | Toog Lou Etendue CD (2004)
Rebel, Sweetheart CD music
$13.45
Toog's third album is actually both a collaboration and an inspired idea brought to life -- as Toog himself described it, he drew the idea of Lou Etendue from the work of French poet and World War I victim Guilliaume Apollinaire, combined with how he felt open meeting actress and film director Asia Argento around the time of the 9/11 disaster. With Argento contributing some singing and lyrics and Apollinaire's work providing the lyrics to "Les 9 Portes," Toog also brought fellow French musician Digiki on board as co-producer, resulting in a strikingly electronic/pop album at once sparkling and sorrowful. The sense of elegant play that marks Toog's earlier work isn't abandoned by any means, but whether it's the two-note piano part at the heart of the aptly titled "Opening" or the calm descending notes on ...

Rebel, Sweetheart music CDs
$16.09
After releasing a EP of 6 songs on Acuarela the past year, this quintet - with residence between Boston and New York returns with a work that seems to have been recorded with a knife between the teeth. Direct, intense, tribal, cathartic and even hallucinogen, Spirit strikes with the force of a band which handles masterly the ingredients of the most unorthodox post-rock, late post-punk and, of course, psychedelia in ten songs which do not leave any doubts: this is one of the debuts of 2006. APSE consist of five lads from the East Coast who have been playing together with slight changes in line-up-during the last 7 years, creating one of the most serious and inspired sounds today: the ...

| | N E R D Seeing Sounds CD (2008) Edited
Rebel, Sweetheart CD music
$12.59
Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo, and Shay Haley are back for more genre-bending funk rock and experimental hip-pop on SEEING SOUNDS. The album title reportedly refers to synesthesia--a rare neurological phenomenon that results in a mixture of the senses--but, like all of N.E.R.D.'s sonic excursions, album three might be better named after schizophrenia! The boys continue to expand on their already eclectic musical foundations, each song defying the standards established by its predecessor. Pharrell does his best Lil Jon impression on "Anti Matter," as fevered shouts of "What!" pepper the marching-band drum track. "Spaz" meshes a Beastie Boys-esque rhyme scheme with a hyper Drum `N' Bass background. "Yeah You" is a leisure-suit lounge take on Cake's brand of deadpan rock, while "Sooner or Later" works like a tongue-in-cheek lampoon of a tear-jerking Brit-Pop ballad. From start to finish, SEEING SOUNDS is an audible rollercoaster that refuses to be classified.
Singers and rappers looking for hits don't go to Pharrell Williams for power pop pumped full of steroids, elaborately arranged baroque pop, mosh-inducing guitar assaults, songs about women doing coke in bathrooms, or philosophical ruminations. Williams, along with fellow Neptune Chad Hugo and longtime associate Shay continue to use N.E.R.D. as an outlet for all the stray ideas that leave sales and airplay considerations in the dust. But it's not as if what they have produced as a trio has been inaccessible, and that goes for their third album, Seeing Sounds, as well. In Search Of... went gold, despite being re-recorded into an inferior band-driven version of the synth-and-drum-machine-heavy original (released outside the U.S. in 2001), while the ambitious and occasionally downright bizarre Fly or Die apparently moved roughly 100,000 fewer units. Those numbers aren't bad, but it was apparent that the average Neptunes fan was thrown (or merely not won over) by the stylistic shifts and seemingly out of character lyrical concepts. Seeing Sounds nonetheless goes down the same route as the previous N.E.R.D. album, and there aren't any crossover feature spots, à la the Madden brothers on "Jump," to push it. The only other changes are that Williams gets three quarters of the songwriting credits alone, whereas Fly or Die was Hugo/Williams all the way, and Shay is put to a little more use. Once again, it is evident that they put all of themselves into ...
