 (4 Customer Reviews)
Anhedonia is the chronic inability to perceive pleasure. (It was the working title of the Woody Allen film that eventually became Annie Hall.) It's such an on the nose title for an emo album that it's only surprising that no one thought of it before. The debut album by the Graduate is certainly a fitting candidate for the title, given the persistent moping of lead singer Corey Warning's teen angst lyrics and his unpleasantly whiny, at times truculent, vocal style. This is a real shame, because with a better and less irritating lead singer and lyricist, the Graduate would be a lot more interesting to listen to. Musically, they're on the more placid end of the emo pool, favoring chorused guitar sounds and simple arpeggiated riffs that occasionally blur into shimmers of pealing high-register tones. For example, opening track "Sit & Sink" sounds like what might have happened had U2 and Brian Eno spun off and elaborated the first 45 seconds of "Where the Streets Have No Name" into its own little song. But Warning goes and spoils the mood with his deeply irritating lyrics which seem to pretty much boil down to the idea that the friend he's singing to shouldn't commit suicide because that would, like, be a drag 'n' stuff. Whatever. The Graduate deserve a better frontman than they have, but those who can overlook the problem might find something appealing regardless. ~ Stewart Mason

Anhedonia Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   maybe next album
this album has some great moments. Though it's every three songs which makes a 12 song album have three or four pretty goods songs. songs 1, 4, 5,and 11 are pretty good. Graduate remind me of the Lost Prophets. They had to get this one under their belt to get the next album out which will problably be better

let me dance you a storywith pictures in soundlet me tug at the edge of your timethere's a moment of truth we can stealwhen we're partners in crimeThose are the first lines I sing on my new CD "Another Season." I wanted to begin with that song, "Dance You A Story", because it serves as a statement of purpose for my music--on this, my first CD and in all that's still to come.Because however much this frenetic, high-tech-obsessed, force-feeding, sensory overload culture might try to dictate the rules, I believe that together we can take a stand for a different way. I still believe that an intimate, personal acoustic performance of a good song has the power to change our pace and perspective... ...to invite us to spend some time in a place where humanity, thoughtfulness, and imagination are respected and given room to roam......maybe even to discover something new about ourselves and each other.That's the kind of place I tried to create for you with "Another Season."As I selected the material to include on this recording, I wanted a project that was more than simply a collection of assorted songs. I wanted a record that could be listened to and taken in as a single unit from beginning to end. I wanted lyrical and musical variety, a sense of no song sounding like another, yet all of them fitting together in a unified, coherent whole. So what I give you on "Another Season" is ten songs, presented with just my voice, and my guitar, recorded with a warm, inviting, intimate sound. Ten songs of searching...and being found.Won't you join me? There's a moment of truth we can steal.--Tim Helmen"Tim Helmen's CD gives you exactly what you get when you go to hear him live: voice, guitar, original, thoughtful songwriting. Hopefully you are paying attention to the lyrics as you're listening. Tim's lyrics offer insightful looks at the people and world around him, with a touch of inspiration."--Wendy V, Local Blend (www.wendyv.com)A reveiw from The Phantom Tollbooth (www.tollbooth.org):Minnesota has brought us some amazing songwriters and musicians over the years. From Dylan to Prince, the state has offered a wide range of abilities, styles, and talents. Lately, there has been a plethora of underground singer/songwriters that have formed a loose community ...

The new Green Light CD, Patient Like the Moon, is now available. The 15 tracks range from funky and raw to deep and meditative. Those folks who have heard advance copies say it is the band's finest work yet. Together for five years, Green Light has forged their own unique sound full of Deep Grooves and Telepathic Improvisations. They have been described as Radiohead meets Herbie Hancocks Headhunter's or John Scofield meets Pink Floyd. Here is what the critics are saying about Green Light---Green Light has created a trademark sound that serves as a root to their music. From there, the musicianship shines far and wide, and the compositions grow perpetually and completely without a net.- Jamie Lee, Hittin' the Note MagazineA trio creating quite an eclectic sound of instrumental jazz/fusion with splashes of rock. If Green Light’s agenda is to create a mood filled spacey aura, they succeed quite smashingly.- Samir Shukla, Creative Loafing - Charlotte, NCI’m hearing the slow wah-wah jams of Hendrix, dressed up in the tones of The Meters, or the looseness of John Coltrane, tied up by the precision of Carlos Santana. All you music scholars, funk fans, guitar gods and gearheads, get your act together and hear some music you’ll appreciate.- Ben Brown, Encore - Wilmington, NCInstrumental ...
