Amazon.com

Some music is celebrated for its elegant subtlety; Pink's slams you over the head. Four albums in, she's not changing her formula. I'm Not Dead touches on bulimia ("Stupid Girls"), war-mongering politicians ("Dear Mr. President"), teen angst ("Conversations With My 13 Year Old Self," "Runaway"), overheated pickup artists ("U + Ur Hand"), and gross materialism ("I Got Money Now"). None of it, in other words, is for featherweight listeners. Then again, none of it suits eggheaded college tastemakers either. Where this translates, then, is with those willing to man up and embrace what makes Pink Pink: her spellbinding ability to render rebelliousness in all the many colors of the rainbow. Neil Young-inspired acoustic guitar is sketched into "The One That Got Away," but it's just as quickly scribbled over by Joan Jett-style ranting (on "Long Way to Happy") and Janis Joplin/Joss Stone-fueled howling (on "Who Knew"). Even R&B gets its turn ("I Got Money Now"). The album also includes appearances from the Indigo Girls, who duet on "Dear Mr. President," and Pink's father, who joins for the hidden track "I Have Seen The Rain." Pink pulls all of this off, and probably without even breathing hard. She's not dead. --Tammy La Gorce

Fantastic discovery!.......2007-06-28

I never was a fan of hip hop/dance/rap music, so I never really paid attention to Pink. I'll be the first to admit that was a big mistake. I heard "Who Knew" on the radio and was absolutely bowled over! I immediately went out and bought the album based on that one song. Turns out the album is full of fantastic musical gems. I didn't realize she changed her style to more of a rock/pop style. "Stupid Girls" is a great social statement (and totally made me think of Paris Hilton). "Who Knew" is one of my favorite songs of all times. "Long Way to Happy" is so catchy and awesome, it's my 2nd fave on the album. "Nobody Knows", "Dear Mr. President" and "I Got Money Now" are all great slowed down songs. I almost cried the first time I heard "Dear Mr. President". Extremely political and so very true, beautifully sung and deserves a lot of attention. "U + Ur Hand" and "Leave me Alone" are fun and full of attitude.

I'd like to add that not only is this album awesome, but I finally found out that Pink is an incredible vocalist and performer. Based on that, I ended up buying Misunduztood and there are several songs on that album I loved as well. I just wish I had noticed Pink long before this! Buy the album, you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic.......2007-06-10

Great album! Pink has really shown some great range! This cd is way beyond some "Stupid Girls".

AH! SHE OUT DID HERSELF!.......2007-06-06

EXCELLENT. EXCELLENT. EXCELLENT. A PINK MUST HAVE.

Intelligent, thoughtful, inspiring!

Wow! I know I'm late but this album is excellent!.......2007-06-05

"Stupid Girls" and "U + Ur Hand" got the attention but "Who Knew" and "Nobody Knows" really are great standouts as well. Pink has great vocals and she's versatile (her acoustic songs sound great as her pop/rock songs). Pink is really talented and I'm really late in finding this out. But I will be checking out her "artistic" debut "M!ssundaztood" (her proper debut was "Can't Take Me Home"). The best thing about this album is that it has personality. I know that sounds silly but what I mean it's fleshed out. It's probably the most entertaining album I've heard all year.

Wow.......2007-05-31

Don't be put off by the explicit rating, and don't buy it from Amazon despite the great price. You owe it to yourself to go to the store and buy this album right now. Pink finally deserves to be lauded as an artist.

There's a rule in commercial pop: don't bite the hand that feeds you. Translation? If you're getting love on TRL, it's best leaving well enough alone and tinkering only slightly with the sound that pays your bills. So you have to give Pink a whole heap of credit. The Philly-raised songbird may have made her rep with infectious and rugged pop-R&B hits like "There You Go" and the remake of "Lady Marmalade," but like the fuchsia coif she once sported, that sound is gone. In its place is a more driving alt-rock attack, liberally laced with some late-night blues and heartfelt lyrics that, while they sometimes come off like diary entries (the simplistic bon mot "Your pain is painful" in "Family Portrait"), are clearly Pink's thoughts, as opposed to words someone put in her mouth. Helping Pink express her inner Alanis are Dallas Austin, who produced the insistent rocker "18 Wheeler," and former 4 Non Blonde Linda Perry, who Pink has resurrected from one-hit-wonder status. Mixing up thumping beats, ("Get the Party Started"), with folksy confessionals, Pink's potent vocals and her honest determination make this a risk worth hearing. --Amy Linden

Latest album is much better.......2007-06-28

I LOVE Pink!! The first album I bought was the latest one - "I'm Not Dead", and I love it. So I decided to investigate her earlier work. While I am glad I have "Missundaztood", I didn't find it as compelling as her latest work. Good to see where she has come from though.

understood and admired.......2007-06-12

what a sharp lady...love her latest cd...so thought I'd give her older, breakthrough cd a try...great sound. fresh and original collection. smart, sassy, interesting, sophisticated but fun. love the lyrics. love the variety of different musical styles. pink is cool, and honest and real. and she makes fantastic, memorable tunes....already a classic

One of my favorite albums of all time. She is an amazing songwriter. .......2007-03-26

Not only is Pink an amazing singer, but her lyrics are soo deep and personal. I love people who write about the sad times because a lot of people needs to hear something they can relate to. Family Potrait speaks to a lot of people, including my brother, who overhead the song and keeps requesting me to replay track 7. The whole album is a work of art so it's hard to choose, but if I had to choose, my favorites are Don't let me get me, Just Like a Pill, Family Potrait and Lonely Girl. Pink's voice is soo raw and real that you can actually feel the pain in her voice. Once you listen to this album, you will want hear more. So I will go ahead and let you know that her third album is Try This and her fourth, which is her best thus far is "I'm Not Dead". So please give this album a chance. Pink is a real artist and she will be around for a long time because she is true to herself.

out of the gate and running hard.......2007-03-26

This is Pink's first album to my knowledge. It has some raw studio tape footage that is cute and rough. I loved it. The segments give a good hint of what this ballsy little girl is about, and a preview of the bold, strong woman she became. She has fun with this release and you get to hear it. It is cool to listen to the inside track banter between Pink and the recording engineer. She is a force to be reckoned with; and a sweet lady all in one.

Pink.......2006-12-31

I kind of like this CD. I don't listen to it as much anymore for some reason, but I think I'm overdue to listen to it again. One of my favorite songs on this album is "respect" which talks about how girls should act around guys and how they should not let boys push them around any time the boy thinks it's convenient for them "no freebies in the limosouine that's not what it's about. let 'em know just what to do give it up he won't call you respect is just a minimum, go on girl and get you some" Another song about not letting men push girls around that I really like is "can't get me down". Which talks about getting ready to face the day and anything that might come one's way. I love encouraging songs like that... they really help you face your problems in life. I don't like to many of the songs on here because of the swearing content but I do listen to "Mizundastood" constantly. She only says one swear word in the song but I don't mind. Otherwise I avoid songs on here that have swearing on them. I like this CD otherwise... but if you're under sixteen, I wouldn't recommend it because of the swearing. I forgot to add that another one of my favorite songs is "Don't Let Me Get Me".

The contrivance level is high on this debut by an R&B singer named for her out-of-bottle hair color. La Face Records' latest female discovery is positioned midway between mainstream hip-hop soul and poor imitations of Kelis-style anger. Producer-writer She'kspere brings out his trademark machine beats for "There You Go," a pale copy of "You Oughta Know"; still, that single's more artful than "Split Personality," which clumsily attempts to acknowledge three-dimensional human reality but really sounds like a fit of whining until Pink unleashes the inevitable melisma over the song's coda. Elsewhere, she makes nice on standard-issue ballads ("Stop Falling") and lite-reggae proclamations of love ("Private Show"). "I just wanna make you feel things," Pink sings at one point. Unfortunately, the emotion the cynical Can't Take Me Home inspires most is annoyance. --Rickey Wright

Another fantastic performance by PINK.......2007-06-10

Once again another beauty album by Pink. They just keep getting better and better!

good second album.......2007-03-26

This album builds on lessons learned from Pink's first release "Misunderstood". It has some more polish and finese, but still maintains that hard edged "I'm gonna tell it like it is" style that makes Pink, Pink. I really love her bold confidence and pure scrappy attitude. She is a good performer and has a strong sultry voice. I am collecting her work in reverse order starting with "Try This" and finding the early albums great glimpses of what was to come later in her career. She is a strong person and will be around for a long time.
Go Girl! You kick major A## Pink !

great... i suppose .......2007-01-18

i heard all the stuff that pink has done since lady marmalade and i was curious about this album.
First of all, i was prepared for hear some r&b stuff but i was really suprised with this album.
I'm not a r&b fan, i'm a pop fan but pink makes something special with this rythms... she demostrates once more that she rocks for real!

Okay, but nothing special.......2006-11-10

I purchased Pink's later three albums before I picked this one up. I really like Try This and I'm Not Dead, both are really solid albums and show how Pink has matured as an artist. Can't Take Me Home is not a bad album just doesn't compare well with the later work.

Can't Take Me Home .......2006-09-06

I really dragged me feet on getting this disc because I have a real pet peeve about music artists who debut singing a particular genre of music then switch up on their sophomore releases saying "THIS IS THE REAL ME - THE LABEL MADE ME SING THAT OTHER STUFF". I was disgusted by Pink's switcheroo but remained curious enough about her debut cd that I finally decided to buy it.

After a few listens, I am decidedly underwhelmed by the disc mainly because Pink's voice is unrecognizable on most tracks and also to me there are no real stand out tracks. The only tracks I enjoyed listening to are:

HELL WIT YA - love her quick almost talking vocals a la Beyonce

MOST GIRLS - although the lyrics are monotonous, Pink sounds fantastic along with the interesting beats

LET ME LET YOU KNOW - beautiful ballad

LOVE IS SUCH A CRAZY THING - honestly, the music production & background harmonies are more interesting than Pink's solo vocals

STOP FALLING - very pretty ballad that showcases her voice

I really wouldn't recommend this disc because it's pretty generic "hip pop" with no truly standout songs unless you're really curious about Pink's debut to the music world (and can get the disc real cheap).

It's no surprise that a group named after something said during a baseball game would title an album after something said during a basketball match. It is a bit of a surprise that this band remains so incredibly good, and capable of surprising even longtime listeners. This one's so diverse and such a mixture of different styles, it's reminiscent of the group's all-request on-air shows they play annually to support New Jersey-based radio station WFMU. Book-ended by two long, droney tunes, you've got garage-rock rave-ups, country-pop, horn-driven R&B, little gorgeous atmospheric songs, some brilliant falsetto singing, and... this list could go on and on. Who else would think to pair conga-style percussion to a Suicide-esque synth drone? Or even to work with longtime Dylan collaborator and strings arranger and violinist David Mansfield and have genius illustrator Gary Panter do the artwork at the same time? It's the little things that matter, especially when you mastered the big ones twenty-plus years ago. --Mike McGonigal

Amazon.com

This bold, eclectic, 80-minute album is the pinnacle of the band's twenty-year career. From eleven-minute guitar jams to gorgeous ballads to winsome horn-drenched pop songs, this album is all over the map, in a very good way. Features the talents of longtime Nashville producer Roger Moutenot, violinist Dave Mansfield of Dylan's Rolling Thunder Review, and the jacket artistry of Gary Panter (Raw, Jimbo).

They made a fan out of me.......2007-06-03

Now I am not going to pretend to be an expert on Yo La Tengo. This is the first CD of theirs I have bought and I bought it primarily because of the greatest album name in history. OK, I had heard good things about them as well. Now, on first listen, I can see how some might think some of the songs are filler. But, when listening to the album in its entirity, you start to realize that all of the songs are brilliant and in their right place. I have listened to this album four times in a row today already and can not seem to stop. There are so many hypnotic hooks mixed in with the dreamy instrumentals and vocals. Just a very unique band that is hard to describe. They have made a fan out of me and I plan on getting their other CDs as well.

Not What it Seems.......2007-05-22

I rated this right away but after listening to it again I really like it. It deserves 5 stars but I can't seem to change that. You might think it has a latin sound with a name like Yo La Tengo, or maybe thats just me, but it's got that "indy" sound and if thats what you like you will like them.

They are afraid of singing.......2007-04-30

I like this record a lot, but I agree with others here who think the vocals are subdued. That's too bad--the vocal melodies are good, very catchy, but Ira and Georgia aren't loud enough. Can't really tell what they're singing. You can hear James just fine on "Mr. Tough." Ira already sounds like Lou Reed / Roger Waters at times, so he needs to really eat that microphone or dig down. You too, Georgia. We know you can sing. Get it on the tape next time!

Hmmm..........2007-03-28

I'm being generous with the 'four stars' rating. This album didn't actually stick with me as much as I thought it would. I bought it for the wonderful album title (which was worth it, just to say I have it) and was expecting the rest to be as humorous. I don't really get all of it - not that all songs are to be "gotten" - but the most of the songs didn't really grab enough of my attention for me to really enjoy them.

I can totally chill to most of it and so it makes a pretty good background CD, but the opening track "Pass the Hatchet, I Think I'm Goodkind" is only good if you want to freak out for over ten minutes and the repititious nature of the song makes me sick.

I haven't heard any of the previous Yo La Tengo records, so I'm not a die hard fan and therefore probably didn't enjoy it as much as I should have. Maybe I'll pick it up a little later and like it better.

Yo la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Tengo.......2007-03-18

This album fails on every level. The first track is a stand-up rocker which shows that this band can piss with the big dogs. Then, they proceed to make wee-wee with the poodles. Either they have the actual heart of a poodle, or they have complete contempt for their fans. Neither motivation appeals to me. If a band has no competent vocalist, and can't bring itself to make a change in the line-up, it has limited options: 1) make the material suit your voices (the Dylan gambit); 2) damn the torpedos (the Grateful Dead tactic); 3) tweak your weak vocals electronically (most everyone) or 4) submerge the vocal into the production and hope no one notices. Yo La Tengo succeeds so perfectly with strategy #4 that not one word of the lyrics is even understandable. You can use your voice as an instrument if you're Roy Orbison, but everyone else should have something to say or shut up. Finally, rock, like every great body of work, sees into the future by standing on the shoulders of giants. However, if you take your instrumentation, phrasing, and production completely from the giants' actual songbooks it had better be a send up (Frank Zappa) or it better achieve the speed of camp (The Darkness). Otherwise, you're a rip off. If I want to hear The Beatles or Santana, I'll put them on. When I want something fresh and original, I'll listen to something besides this album.

As a follow-up to her 2005 Latin Grammy win, Mexican-American diva Lila Downs has chosen to release a loving tribute to canciones rancheras, the heartfelt ballads ubiquitous in cantinas throughout Mexico. With their merry accordion riffs and perky snare-led rhythms, the tunes can be reminiscent of Cajun music or Colombian cumbias, but even the cheeriest numbers harbor fate-haunted undertones. The singer's darkly sweet, resonant voice interprets each the fifteen tracks to a fare-thee-well. Her fiery South-of-the-border exhibitionism and touches of dry humor are mirrored by assorted comedic whiz-bang sounds that surface amid the mostly acoustic mix. Third generation accordionist Flaco Jimenez, the doyen of Tex-Mex conjunto (a working class style descended from an older but still extant groove known as norteño,) weaves in and out among bass, harps, mariachi-like fiddles and assorted guitars. Peppered with antique-sounding bytes, dramatic spoken poems and even an in-your-face rap (during "Tu Recuerdo Y Yo", track four), the album plays like a slightly surreal movie that is no less affecting for being nearly untranslatable. --Christina Roden

Customer Reviews:

Lila Down's la cantina.......2007-07-03

I love Lila Down, but not being mexican, this is not my type of music. My mexican friends of certain age (not very young) give it 5 stars.

Absolutely fabulous.......2007-07-02

I can't recall the reason I originally placed an order for this Lila Downs CD. I had never heard about the artist nor had any knowledge about Mexican language. I presume I read some reviews and just tried it.

But no regrets I can honestly say. At the moment La Cantina is one of my mostly played CDs and it seems I'll never get bored with it - though I still have just a hint what the songs are about. But the FEELINGS are there; sometimes sorrow, sometimes happiness, sometimes something in between.

No use in praising Lila's voice as it has been done in so many reviews before. So I settle to my headline comment: Absolutely fabulous. Now I have already five Lila Downs CDs but I still consider this as the best one. Whatever your taste in music is - this is good.

soulful, beautiful music.......2007-05-22

Love this album. Lila Downs is wonderful - I wish I could own all of her albums but I had to choose just one for now. I chose this one - and I was not disappointed. It is a mix of soulful balads and upbeat even dancable tunes. I especially love "la cumbia de mole" in both spanish and english. I challenge you to listen without singing along and moving. Buy this - you will have no regrets other than that you didn't buy it sooner.

Lila Downs is just amazing on this album,her powerful vocals and energy are just incrediable.

Mark Knopfler isn't afraid to drop names. The heavyweight Cassius Clay laid low, the man who made burgers and fries into big business, the kings of rock & roll and skiffle are among the motley assortment who pass through Knopfler's fourth solo album. Recorded in Malibu with a tight crew of steadfast Knopfler sidemen, Shangri-La (the title comes from the studio where the entire set was recorded) chronicles the foibles of the acclaimed and the adrift, all delivered with the nonchalant grace that has marked Knopfler's music since Dire Straits emerged in the late '70s. Seven of album's 14 originals clock in at between five and seven minutes. That's Knopfler in a nutshell--don't rush things, but don't loose the thread, either. As a songwriter, Knopfler has a storyteller's eye for minutiae, which he delivers with practiced nuance. He overreaches here and there ("Song for Sonny Liston" fails to capture the pathos of the menacing fighter), but also pulls off a few career highlights (the understated crime-drama opener "5.15 a.m."). --Steve Stolder

Album Description

The fourth solo excursion from acclaimed singer-songwriter-guitarist Mark Knopfler, Shangri-La is perhaps his most rocking album since his halcyon days in Dire Straits. A four- time Grammy winner who has sold some 110 million albums worldwide with that group and solo — and whose signature guitar sound, instantly recognizable vocals and smart lyrics have made him one of rock's most admired artists — Knopfler offers an idyllic earthly refuge for the sophisticated rock fan with Shangri-La.

Customer Reviews:

Shangri-La.......2007-06-18

I love Mark Kopfler and Dire Straits. I like this CD. I am especially fond of "Boom, like that", "The trawlerman's song" and "Back to Tupelo".

Mark's trademarked tone and sarcastic wit are fully in tact........2007-05-19

I've read that much of Mr. Knopfler's work is too derivative of other artists. I had to laugh because when I heard the opening keyboard riff to "Everybody Pays", I immediately thought of "Whiter Shade of Pale". But, at the end of the day...so what?? All popular music is derivative-this is a fact of life.

This album illustrates what the maturation of a great artist/musician is really about. The themes are more weighty, the music more subtle and textured, the mood somewhat laid back. When you listen to this recording, you are listening to the voice of experience. Mark understands his vocal limitations and doesn't bother to push the boundaries. He also understands that a few well-placed hammer-ons, bends and pull-offs are all you need to state your case on the guitar. Too many musicians have a tendency to over-play their instruments...like a chatty salesman whose afraid that he might not close the deal (he keeps talking to avoid any uncomfortable lulls in the conversation).

If you begin to disect this record, you will find shades of J.J. Cale, Chet Atkins and Bob Dylan (as usual). Mark has a somewhat nasal, raspy delivery in his singing, as well as a certain wry wit and literacy in his lyrics. This is where the Dylan comparison comes from. But Mark is a better musician, and that's that (although Bob's a better poet,not to mention a 60's icon/innovator). Now, Mark's finger-picking style does owe a debt of gratitude to Chet Atkins-a great country/blue-grass guitar player. However, Mark takes it to another level, and also shows an affinity for blues and rock which Mr. Atkins simply never possessed. J.J. Cale, another great artist with similar sensibilities, seems to lack Mark's accessibility and overt sarcasm (see "Industrial Disease", "Money For Nothing", "Heavy Fuel", "My Parties", "Don't Crash the Ambulance", etc.). And, again, Cale cannot match Knopfler's virtuosity on the guitar either (he's pretty good, but never played ANYTHING on par with the solo/fills heard on "Sultans of Swing"-to name one example).

This record is a subtle, relaxed (and sometimes brooding) affair which focuses on moral decay, lost opportunities, lost innocence, bad business deals, tax dodging, physical illness, bad politics, class injustice and various other absurdities of life...the essence of the blues. It doesn't burn like Dire Straits' "Making Movies" or aim for the market sweet-spot like "Brothers In Arms"...it just smolders. Give it a listen. You'll find some tasteful, rootsy guitar work, and some folk-rock style songs featuring interesting narratives. Warning: don't look for any jolly songs about love/sex, syncopated dance rhythms or nifty synthesizer/drum loops-Britney Spears has this covered already.

Simply awesome.......2007-05-07

I am an unabashed fan of Mark Knopfler and was looking forward to the release of this album. Mark has exceeded even his high standards with this album with every track a winner. If you can listen to this album and not feel better for the experince you should probably book yourself into a funeral home as you are probably dead. Fantastic.

Nobody does mellow like Knopfler.......2007-03-10

I don't often write reviews about music, but after listening to this one for two years, I feel it's become a part of me. This is Mark Knopfler at his mellow finest: some of it soothing and tuneful, some of it gritty and bluesy, all of it down-to-earth and honest, and none of it boring or pretentious. The lyrics are always intriguing, and the guitar, though not as flashy as his earlier work, is unmistakably Knopfler (with a hint of Carlos Santana in the closing number). The CD flows beautifully, the backing musicians are top-notch and the sound quality is flawless.

Very Enjoyable Album.......2007-01-12

As a guitar player myself for almost 40 years now, I could enjoy a Mark Knopfler album for just the guitar playing alone.

I've said it in other reviews that while there are players around who are technically better players than Mark (they can play 1,000 64th notes in the span of 2 seconds or tap out an entire tune with ten fingers and 8 toes), I don't believe there is a more tasteful player on the planet than Mark Knopfler.

But the fact is that he's not only a great player who's a joy to listen to (and to try and emulate), he's also a great songwriter as well who surrounds himself with some of the best musicians around.

I have to confess that when I originally bought this CD within hours of its release, I listened to it several times in my car as I would drive to and from work and initially, I wasn't too impressed. My first impression was that it was "slow" - seemed to lack "passion" and just lacked pzazzzzz.

After all, this album came out after Sailing To Philadelphia, which I instantly loved and literally played over and over and over again.

However, it's now 2007 - a few years after its release and I honestly have to say that this is a great and very "easy on the ears" cd to listen to. And it's very interesting, but my wife and young son vacationed a few months ago in southern California and spent some time in Malibu (where this album was recorded) and I can better understand the laid-back quality of it. Malibu is a nice community on the Pacific Coast Highway with the ocean on one side of you and these hills / cliffs with palatial multi-million homes) on the other side. It doesn't exactly exude the same type of "energy" you might feel walking down 5th Avenue In NYC.

This album is alot like Mark as a person or Mark as a performer. I've seen him many, many times in concert and you would never confuse his shows with Elton John or Madonna.

In fact, my wife and I have butted heads about this as she says that his shows are "boring". My response is that if boring is great songs being performed by consumate musicians without firey pyrotechnics or women running around in lingerie is boring, then she's right - he's "boring".

Let me close by relaying a personal story about Mark Knopfler, the person.

In 1994, my wife committed suicide. While the grief and guilt, at times, seemd overwhelming, I managed to keep my "sanity" by pulling out an older Mark Knopfler / Dire Straits CD and trying to figure out how to play a particularily difficult passage. For 1 or 2 or 5 hours each day, I could put aside my "pain" and just focus on how to paly, for example, the solo in Once Upon A Tiem In The West or Tunnel of Love.

I always wanted to thank Mark personally for "helping" me get through a particularily difficult time in my life - but I am a terrible procrastinator. Even after his motorcycle accident, I still put it off.

Finally a few weeks before Christmas this year, I sent an email to Mark Knopfler via a friend of his whose email address I knew.

A couple of weeks later, I received two autographed pictures of Mark - one made out to me and one to my new 15 month old son, Brandon (I was married again a couple of years ago).

Some day when Brandon is older, a guitar player and as big a fan / admirer of Mark Knopfler as his pop is, I'm going to present him with the framed picture.

Thanks, Mark - for both the pictures and your body of work over the last 20 years.

And thanks for Shangri-la, it took awhile, but I eventually came around and now really enjoy this album. It's kind of like Scotch whiskey - an acquired taste..!

It's not a bright and sunny day in the land of Brazilian Girls anymore. That's the message one might take from "Jique," the opening track of this, their second album. In concert, they've performed "Jique" more playfully, but on Talk to La Bomb, a snarling bass-line and juggernaut drum riff drive this piece of post-industrial squall as singer Sabina Sciubba maintains her sophisticated cool against the electronic storm surge. There are no more cute songs with choruses that go "Pussy pussy pussy marijuana" like those that appeared on their first blast of joyful noise. This is a darker album full of Babel language, post-war rage, and techno-hysteria. "I always have an orgasm when the tanks are rolling, crashing through the borders," Sciubba declares on "Never Met a German." Brazilian Girls maintain the same kinetic thrust and hook-laden melodies as before, but they've turned up the rhythmic aggression and electronic squelch to 11. Attitudes that were bemused in "Lazy Lover" are now pissed off in "Sexy Asshole." Even when they start off sultry, like in "Rules of the Game," it turns into sardonic, synth-fuzzed anger. There is a stridency to some of the tracks, including the title piece, which starts out echoing Miles Davis's "Bitches Brew" before launching into a militaristic rhythm and sloganeering chorus. Only "Nicotine" has that seductive, late-night rendezvous mood of their first album, and even that has a bit of the Residents' zombie groove happening. On Talk to La Bomb, Brazilian Girls move from seducers to provocateurs. --John Diliberto

Another "Must Have"!.......2007-07-03

A friend of mine ownes this album. I borrowed it and fell in love with it immediately! So much so that I didn't even consider copying it, I bought a full retail version!

There is nothing to dislike about La Bomb. Give it a listen then buy it! If the Brazilian Girls continue with albums like this one, they will be very successful!

Impressive.......2007-06-15

Had never heard of this group before, but got it as a recommendation from someone who had it recommended to him. Listen to the samples, if you like this style of music, get this and their other CD. Very well done.

Cool delivery........2007-03-08

This is the second album for the eclectic, multi-lingual New York band that, despite its name, is largely male and definitely not from Brazil.
The Brazilian Girls return with another mix of upbeat electronica, organic rock, jazz and world music. This is nonstop erotic dance music for jet setters, with the proudly Euro-trash Sabina Sciubba riding the grooves like an old, charismatic pro.
What separates these non-Brazilians from the pack is that they are old school musicians with real ability and they've gelled together as an unbreakably tight unit.
Sabina has a voice clarified and honed by years of singing jazz that enchants the listener without overwhelming bandmates Didi Gutman, Aaron Johnston, and Jesse Murphy. The band's melodic and rhythmic synergy makes their music at once danceable and memorable, and worked to great effect on their eponymous debut. Melody dominated "Brazilian Girls", but their live performances and their remix of Blossom Dearie's "Just One of Those Things" on the third Verve Remixed compilation showcased an underlying yet relentlessly driving beat.
"Talk to La Bomb" is more effective than "Brazilian Girls" was at bringing this melodic but powerful energy to a studio album, perhaps because the new album's mood is darker and sharper.
Languages roll off Sabina's tongue with the same sexy insouciance that genres spring from her bandmates' fingers.
On "Jique," she mashes up Spanish, French, German, and oh yeah, English.
This New York-based band of vagabonds makes multicultural, cosmopolitan, intellectual dance music: Ibiza meets punk, dub goes tango, trance gets smart. And with her tongue-in-chic costumes and cool delivery, Sciubba could be the 21st century's first superstar-style siren.

Just Listen!.......2007-02-23

I read some of the other reviews and thought it was kind of silly for people to try and analyze which BG album is better....what does it really matter? This is a great(band)and they create thoroughly terrific music. I happen to think that Talk To La Bomb is pretty fantastic, unlike anything else that is out there. Let's remember just how horrible and bad the music industry is right now and let's just enjoy talented musicians like BG that go unnoticed for the most part,except by critics and nobody listens to them anymore either!

damn good music!.......2007-02-08

actually got to see these guys live on new years eve, nyc, 2006.

"Talk To LaBOMB" is a great new album. smart, sexy, angry and totally different to their first offering "Brazilian Girls" which was still different, but soft round the edges and melodic with great words. this one is protest, it's hard, sometimes fast and rude but bloody entertaining!

listen to "sexy a**hole" and tell me you don't like it? weirdo!

TMV.......2007-07-05

Before you base your judgment of this CD soley in comparison to any of The Mars Volta albums you need to realize that it isn't a Mars Volta album. It is a Soundtrack for a film and Omar is even quoted by saying it is a reaction to the film. If you're a die-hard Omar fan then you'll love it. Rapid Fire Toll Booth is now one of my all time favorites and all the other songs sound great in my opinion.

I don't usually write reviews because it's so painful for me to read someone elses review especialy ones that contain the following examples. I only like their older stuff, they keep changing their style, the guitar player is too self induldgent,they should use the same producer as on their first album, there's too much ambience, there's too much guitar noodling, they've become snobs, they're not as good without the old drummer, they're progressive, they're experimental, they took a riff from some other band, I like them less with each album they put out,etc. That was in reference to all bands not just The Mars Volta.

That kinda review irritates me because it's a bunch of garbage. I wish those kinda people would just stick to their MTV lifestyles and leave the real music to those who are true fans and are more open minded. I don't know why it bugs me so much it's not like I'm defending them because I know them on some personal level it's just that some people just don't get it. I'm tired of everyone disecting the music and the musicians. All they want to do is entertain us, not create some sort of musical doctorine that should be discussed as though one was attending a seminar. As a musician I understand the need to experiment and branch out so the music making process doesn't become stale. Do you really want your favorite band to constantly repeat themselves and never evolve. People please I beg of you quit writing these cliche pointless reviews. As for me I'm through writting about this subject for as long as I live. Omar & Cedric have been making music for quite some time now. Let's allow the professionals to do their thing and the rest of you can either tune in or tune out.

They did it again.......2007-06-13

The Mars Volta puts out some of the most complex, thought-provoking, and lyrically charged music that I have heard in the last 10 years. The beauty of their style is that it can't be criticized, because they don't claim to be a part of any genre...it is simply music at its rawest core element.

In line with this description, Amputechture delivers just as much, if not more, than their previous offerings. It's style is unpredictable, yet captivating. The jazz influence can be heard in almost every track. Some songs verge on becoming monotonous, until a slight riff change or new vocal is thrown in at exactly the right moment, and makes it perfect.

Their total disregard for "what sells" and making chart-topping music is probably what keeps their music fresh and innovative. This is easily the best album of 2006 if you're into non-mainstream, real music. Otherwise, go buy Incubus/Maroon 5/Weezer or something.

These guys were "punk".......2007-06-13

Sounds like the singer got his nutz caught in a meat grinder. I love high pitched singers voices but this guy has to go. Music is o.k. but super wanky without enough substance to make it worth the while. Take 'em or leave 'em kids, you know where I stand.

Welcome back, Mars........2007-04-17

This album redeemed them for Frances.

A continuation of The Mars Volta's stunning innovation, while not straying too far from their classic style. There is a stunning new touch in this album: "Asilos Magdalena", a heart-wrenching, tragic, spanish ballad, as tonal as they come, with the strongest cadential points heard in any of the albums thus far.

The album is a continuous study of Cedric's impressive (awe-inspiring) range, the band's famous stepwise bass lines, super-rhythmic melodies set to abnormal meters, and beautifully incoherent (though barely dissonant) guitar riffs.

The lyrics continue to shock, strewn with raw physical imagery of both human and animal body parts (see: album title "amputechture", song titles "viscera eyes" and "vermicide", and cover art), and Christian-dogmatic references/commentary (see: song titles "vicarious atonement" and "day of the baphomets").

Deloused set our expectations high, but the true fan will not be disappointed in Amputechture.

Good Album.......2007-02-17

I like this recording very much. The Mars Volta has a fantastic approach to music making. They are creative with effects and have long jam sessions with very good playing. Like a modern, more heavy metal Pink Floyd, innovative and slow burning. Doesn't get boring or start sounding the same half way through the album.

If one needed further proof of the contemporary revival/reassessment of the ambitiously overwrought sensibilities once so reviled in '70s rock, this aggressively mindbending second album by the Mars Volta offers it up in spades. Band mainstays Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala insist that labels like "prog" don't interest them, and that this is emphatically not a "sequel" to 2003's De-Loused in the Comatorium. What it is was thematically inspired by a stranger's diary allegedly found by late bandmate Jeremy Ward, the basis for an expansive, often amorphous musical head-trip that brews psychedelia, trance, hard-rock and free-jazz into a daunting new whole. The dozen tracks here represent but five "songs" proper, though the band's disdain for conventional track banding inspire it to sound more like a stream-of-consciousness soundscape from Can--or a dark, lyrically inventive, if decidedly troubled corner of their ids. On the "Umbilical Syllables" portion of "Cygnus.." and "The Widow" Bixler-Zavala invokes the wailing, Led Zeppelin II & III spirit of Robert Plant set against a feverish, swirling melange that's anything but the blues. The vocalist coaxes "L' Via l'Viaquez" en Espanol, while his band indulges its space-mambo conceits with an evocative spirit that recalls Latin Playboys at their most mischievous. It's an album that loops back on itself in a haunting ellipse--and one whose boundless ambition makes Pink Floyd sound like three-chord bar punters by comparison. --Jerry McCulley

If you want to hear some amazing song structures, melodies and all around great rock musicians Jon Theodore to Omar Gonzalez and even John Fruscante, get this album. Once you get through the few dead spots and few moments of senseless noise, this will be placed in your heavy rotation of favorite music. Cedric Bixler is one of the most amazing modern rock singers out there today.

very cool.......2007-03-08

i reviewed de loused in the comatorium and thought this deserved a review as well. the mars volta is so different from most other music out there and the first time i heard them i was hooked. i would suggest listening to some tracks before buying because the vocals aren't for everyone. i once heard someone say, "the vocals are like nails on a chalkboard", and i will admit they are not for everyone. i personally took to them and consider TMV one of my favorites these days.

musicians from mars.......2007-02-20

Put together Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew", Led Zeppelin's "II" and "III", and King Crimson's "In The Court of King Crimson", and you get "Frances The Mute". My favorite Mars Volta album so far, but all of them are amazing. Could be very very strange for listeners who never listened to this kind of music. To me, this album resembles "Bitchs Brew" alot (not just in the music itself, but the way it was received by the public - you either hate it or love it).

The closest you will get to the best music ever invented........2007-02-15

The Mars Volta has an uncanny way of taking old rock styles, jazz, even metal in some light, and making it new, better and more amazing than it could've ever gotten without them. They have brought Pink Floyd back together metaphorically speaking, as well as led-zeppelin, countless jazz bands, and anything else holy in music except for a low voice and brought it to the public. Ever instrument played is played to its fullest in some form or another, and even the computerized parts tie it all together. This album is a monument to what is good in music, and its a damn shame they had to take it all apart for "Amputechture."

I never liked opera before. I guess it's all about how the music is presented. The performances are top-notch, and taken from real operatic classics, but the way it is done makes it very nice to listen too. If you can only get one album of this genre, this is the one to get!!!!

Great CD.......2007-03-16

I enjoy this different kind of opera music. Very nice and still giving you the feeling of the opera it self but in more modern way.

I love this CD. I have it in my car, and now know practically all of the Italian words by heart. Infectious and uplifting. Good tears and fun listening.

I love music. I especially love classical music. When I find musicians who have taken classical music and presented it in a new way, I'm always excited. EVOC has done exactly that with these tried-and-true opera classics. The orchestrations are wonderful and the musicians obviously very talented. The vocalists, however, sometimes really don't deliver. All in all, it's a fun CD and I will certainly enjoy listening to it again and again.
