| | Mission Of Burma Obliterati CD Mission Of Burma Discography of CDs
 (2 Customer Reviews)
While it took Mission of Burma more than two decades to follow up its 1982 debut with 2004's ONOFFON, the Boston-based post-punk act needed only two years to create their third full-length outing, THE OBLITERATI. As on its predecessor, this '06 album rumbles along with both heft and speed, and shows a band remarkably hitting its stride more than 20 years into its career. Core members Roger Miller (guitar/vocals), Clint Conley (bass/vocals), and Peter Prescott (drums/vocals) all contribute numerous tracks, and although fierce, highly percussive tunes are the order of the day (see the blistering "Spider's Web" and the lumbering "Let Yourself Go"), the disc also leaves room for disarmingly spare moments, most notably the melancholy, string-laden "13." Anyone under the impression that the Mission of Burma reunion was a one-shot deal will be set straight by THE OBLITERATI.
Mission of Burma: Clint Conley, Peter Prescott, Roger Miller , Bob Weston .
Rolling Stone (p.96) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Roger Miller's multilayered guitar attack buzzes and hisses as fiercely as any other band out there."
Q (p.113) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "These broiling drum-led riffs offer curdled cries, much volume and even humour..."
Alternative Press (p.204) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The sound that inspired bands like Sonic Youth -- and thus the indie-rock blueprint -- is still intact..."
The Wire (p.45) - "THE OBLITERATI is packed with energy and furious with ideas. It takes the basic verities of post-punk but twists and evolves them into songs that are immediate and vibrant."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.56) - "Refining their stripped-bare post-punk sound with an elegantly anguished sense of melody that suits the introspective, confessional lyrics..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.94) - "THE OBLITERATI finds Peter Prescott's fierce drumming, Roger Miller's whiplash guitar and Clint Conley's unequivocal bass still in rude health." Mission Of Burma Obliterati Songs | 1. | 2Wice |

Obliterati album
 $14.89   
Never one to tread the expected path, Lucinda Williams followed her big breakthrough album, CAR WHEELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD, with a pair of low-key records full of sad, quiet, fragile songs (interrupted by the occasional barn-burner). LIVE @ THE FILLMORE concentrates heavily on those latter two releases, unleashing all the intense, burning emotions that lay at their core, making plain the inherent frisson lurking below the surface of such ostensibly laconic tunes as "Lonely Girls" and "Righteously." Meanwhile, songs that already had plenty ...

| | Sonic Youth Rather Ripped CD (2006)
Obliterati music CDs
$12.59 
Sonic Youth's turn-of-the-century output has shown a marked focus on the more abstract aspects of the band's sound, as evidenced by, if nothing else, the prolific number of experimental releases on the band's SYR imprint, including the double-album tribute to avant-garde composers, GOODBYE 20TH CENTURY. And while to use the phrase "stylistic departure" is unbefitting of a band with such catholic tastes and influences, the straightforward pop element that marks 2006's RATHER RIPPED, the band's 14th proper studio album, is so pronounced and, to a certain extent, jarring, it's difficult not to focus in on it. From the Thin Lizzy-like twin-guitar interlude on "Incinerate" to the gentle ...
| | Sebadoh III CDs (1991)
Obliterati songs
$11.39 
First released in 1991, Sebadoh's III has often been described as the ultimate college rock album. Composed of hit-or-miss musical experiments like "Black Haired Gurl" and lo-fi indie rock like "The Freed Pig," with occasional combinations of both, like their oddball cover of Johnny Mathis's hit "Wonderful, Wonderful," it's perhaps the band's most enduring achievement. This remastered reissue also includes early-'90s demos and rarities, as well as their seminal "Gimme Indie Rock" EP.
Along with Pavement's Slanted & Enchanted, Sebadoh III is one of the cornerstones of '90s indie rock, establishing the dubious lo-fi style as a credible subgenre. Though the recording techniques give the album a distinctive, hazy atmosphere, the music itself is fascinating. Divided between contributions from Lou Barlow, Eric Gaffney, and Jason Loewenstein, Sebadoh III doesn't necessarily offer a coherent listen. Instead, it's a variety of unexpected detours, with each track offering something different from what preceded. Barlow immediately distinguishes himself with his folky acoustic musings, which not only have sensitivity to spare, but also strong melodies. Gaffney, on the other hand, consigns himself to the ...
| | Sonic Youth Sonic Nurse CD (2004) Enhanced CD
Obliterati album
$12.59
Since 1990's GOO, Sonic Youth has increasingly refined its edgy avant-garde noise excursions with a unique approach to traditional rock song structure. 2004's SONIC NURSE continues the trend. The guitars still squall (as one would expect from a band specializing in distortion since the early 1980s), but that squall seems carefully orchestrated now. The effect is due, in large part, ...

“Implausibly funny and entertaining. All four performers sing and harmonize beautifully and are backed by terrific band. Brilliant childlike songs and ferocious rhythm and blues ballads.” – New York Times“A miracle of topicality. A cabaret-style evening of sprightly song stylings, funky grooves and a nice boom-chicak-boom beat when Hanna Cheek strips out of her clothes. Superfast lyrics ensure we stay on our toes, just long enough to get the knockout punch delivered in Arian Moayed’s final number, a memorial to those lost in battle.” – Time Out New York“The dynamic ensemble’s energy revitalizes this ancient allegory. They exploit Iranian American Arian Moayed’s bilingualism in a hilarious Farsi song, and discover disco fever when the pimped-out King Darius returns from Hades to witness his son’s reckless destruction of a glorious empire.” – Village VoiceThis ambitious, nifty nightclub act begins with a smart Fosse-style ...
