Ringside: Scott Thomas (guitar, piano, keyboards, bass instrument); Balthazar Getty (programming).
Ringside's excellent debut couldn't go down any easier, and for that the duo of Scott Thomas and the actor Balthazar Getty deserve pop music's highest props. Given the pair's Hollywood connections -- a press release has mastermind Thomas designing clothes for No Doubt as a sideline while Getty's off on film shoots -- they might have made a messier, less accessible disc and gotten away with it, but theirs is a sound that's tight, immediate, and appealingly modish. It's also beat-friendly, a setup that would seem at odds with Thomas' indie rock-style lyrics but isn't (for proof, look no further than the disaffected, down-in-the-dumps exercise in uplift that is "Struggle," Ringside's first song and a precedent-setter). Genre-melding -- here, of pop, rock, and electronica -- is rarely this surefooted; paired with Thomas' wiry, Eels-like voice, each song feels at once experimental and lived-in. Given its due, the disc could propel beat master Getty on a path that's purely musical -- a career switch few might regret, considering the klunker that was White Squall. ~ Tammy La GorceVibe (p.168) - "[This] duo marries soul and futuristic rock into a seamless style."

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Love it
I can't get enough of Ringside's music. I sit and listen ot it for hours sometimes. Scott's voice is so unique. And the music he writes is intense. They sound kind of like the Eels, but its hard to classify their music. Buy this album! You won't regret it.

| | Snow Patrol Final Straw CD (2004)
Ringside
$7.45
Snow Patrol: Gary Lightbody (vocals, guitar, keyboards, glockenspiel); Nathan Connolly (guitar, background vocals); Mark McClelland (keyboards, bass instrument); Jonny Quinn (drums).
Additional personnel: Fiona McCapra, Alison Dods (violin); Bruce White (viola); James Banbury (cello, piano); Iain Archer (background vocals).
With Final Straw, Snow Patrol mainman Gary Lightbody seems to take all the inspiration he's gathered from the superstar collaborators in his Reindeer Section project and bundle it into a series of earnest bombastic rock ballads. Producer Garrett Lee deserves credit up-front for expanding the band's sound even further from the lush symphonic ...
| | Rise Against Siren Song Of The Counter Culture CD (2004)
Ringside
$8.49
Includes bonus track "Fix Me".
Rise Against: Tim (vocals, guitar); Joe (bass instrument, background vocals); Chris, Brandon.
Rise Against's somewhat sudden major label-ness has slightly diluted their direct assault on melodic hardcore, but the adjustment should only invite more sugar punkers to the Chicago combo's bittersweet party. Rise Against has moved up in the sonic nicety department -- loud rock vet GGGarth produces, and the Andy Wallace mix is a flawless cross section of thick, grit, and slick. But Siren Song of the Counter Culture is simply the band's latest statement, combining their significant yet not unwelcome Bad Religion influence with nods to the rousing choruses of peers like A.F.I. Beyond that grandiose title -- that line could've been lifted from a Crass treatise, for Pete's sake -- Rise Against seem to have ...

| | Lloyd Cole Music In A Foreign Language CD (2004) (Import) England; United Kingdom
Ringside
$11.99
2003 solo album, from the indie rock icon & former frontman of The Commotions, 10 tracks including a cover of Nick Cave's 'People Ain't No Good'. Slipcase. Sanctuary.
Personnel: Lloyd Cole (vocals, guitar, piano, programming); Dave Derby (vocals, steel guitar); Lullaby Baxter, Virginia Soledade (vocals); Neil Clark (electric guitar); Ray Mason (bass).
Recorded between 2002 & 2003.
Personnel: Lloyd Cole (guitar, piano, programming); Lullaby Baxter (vocals); Neil Clark (electric guitar); Dave Derby (steel guitar); Ray Mason (bass guitar).
Audio Mixer: Mick Glossop.
Recording information: New England (2002-2003).
Photographer: Blaise Reuterswärd.
Lloyd Cole's seventh official solo album, Music in a Foreign Language, is his most intimate and low-key yet. He retains Dave Derby from the Negatives and calls in former Commotion Neil Clark to play guitar, but mostly the album has the feel of a solo record. Drawing on the same musical palette that his "lost" album Etc. does (acoustic guitars, restrained drums, and subtle instrumentation), this record succeeds in a way that most of his over-produced previous albums fail to do. This is also the first record on which Cole seems resigned to be an adult balladeer; there are no rock tunes to be found. His voice is as deep and rich as ever, and the lack of huge rock drums and loud guitars allows him to forgo the oversinging trap he sometimes falls into. Tracks like "Late Night, Early Town" and "Today I'm Not So Sure" are beautiful, autumnal tracks that soar with sadness. Cole manages to strip down his sound without falling into the trap that many artists do, that of stripping too much away and becoming boring. There are enough bits of sonic imagination to keep the listener awake and admiring Cole's gentle touch: the strings on "My Other Life," the rippling guitars of "Cutting Out," the gauzy pedal steel of "No More Love Songs," the sweet ba-ba background vocals and bossa nova beat of "Brazil." His cutting, literate lyrics also keep the listener from becoming complacent; melancholy and bitter, the album sounds like it was written postbreakup and prerecovery. The cover of Nick Cave's "People Just Ain't No Good" certainly points toward some lingering bitterness on Cole's part. Too bad for him, but it makes for good listening for everyone else. Cole is growing old gracefully, much like Roddy Frame or Stephen Duffy. 1980s nostalgia is fun, but some of the guys who were there ended up making some of the best records of their lives in the early 2000s, and Music ...
| | Wheatus Too Soon Monsoon CD (2005)
Ringside
$14.69 
Wheatus: Brendan Brown (vocals, guitar); Elizabeth Brown (vocals); Mike McCabe (bass guitar); Peter Brown (drums); Shannon Harris, Kathryn E. Froggatt, Nicolas DiPierro.
Personnel: Kathryn E. Froggatt (vocals, tambourine); Megan Milanese, Mike McCabe, Michael Bellar (vocals); Shannon Harris (keyboards); Mark Redhead (bells).
Unknown Contributor Role: Nicolas DiPierro.
On Too Soon Monsoon, Wheatus' third full-length, self-production and engineering brings even the hugest pop melody right back down to earth. This would be a detriment to most bands, but it somehow makes Wheatus' music even more immediate, because Brendan B. Brown writes these intensely personal songs that combine ...

2006 digitally remastered edition of the Van Der Graaf Generator frontman's seventh solo album that was originally released in 1978.
