Product Description
Re-press. Torquil Campbell of Stars writes: "Nightsongs" was a loving pastiche, but a pastiche nonetheless; "The Comeback" e.p. is easily the best, most original music we've ever made; it is a reaction to the mundanity of some people's reactions to our work; and we like it very much. We love Montreal, but we are very poor and very bored with that; the only way to make a comeback is not give a shit about being made fun of! We don't give a shit! Don't make fun of us! We are very serious people! Amy and Chris are in love! Evan and Chris are in love! I hate all of them! vive la revolution douce! "Krush" (Amy calims this is about me making her move from Toronto to Montreal, but i think it`s about her having a crush on Sully. Whatever, it's a hook and we believe in hooks) "Violent" (Let's just say that sexuality is a powerful artistic tool; Sully really sounds like he needs to get off in this song) "The Aspidistra Flies (This is a love song for lovers and people who have hope about the world; we wanted it to be very very beautiful; Eric Hove is a genius and plays the most wonderful saxaphone) "Cote des Neiges" (We all wanted to write an instrumental, so I came up with the idea of a snowfall, seeing as that the sole sensory experience you have in Montreal between november and April; Cranner and Sully wanted it to sound like spiritualized; I wanted it to sound like Losaida from Joe Jackson's Body and Soul lp (there i go with that 80's obsession again!) so i wrote that theme) "The Comeback" (When U first wrote this, I thought it was a character study of a washed up rock star; then I realized it was the most autobiographical song I've ever written! Maybe it's both! A band favourite). Le Grand Magistery.

5 out of 5 stars Elvis on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-06-20

Elvis is a man possessed in this rockin' classic. You can tell he woke up out of his Hollywood-induced coma provided by his manager and hit the ground running, launching his late 1960s and early 1970s revival and re-established himself as a viable musical artist again after spending years recording average movie soundtracks.

Where can you start and where can you stop. These songs are excellent from top to bottom and you can feel the energy just oozing out from everywhere. It makes you want to just get up and dance and crank the volume up all the way! I would recommend this album to anyone who loves raw and unplugged rock.

Elvis just rocked big time and sang his heart out in this -- reviving his image. What more can you say?

5 out of 5 stars 68 Comeback Special-Elvis.......2007-06-14

I was completely pleased with the purchase

5 out of 5 stars Welcome to NBC and the Elvis Presley Special!.......2007-01-08

This is a two CD set by Elvis Presley devoted to what is popularly known as "The '68 Comeback Special". It was a television special that aired on NBC in 1968. The "comeback" part refers to where Elvis' career was prior to the special. He had been making a lot of bad movies, and he hadn't had a Top Ten hit since "Crying in the Chapel" three years earlier. The special featured a mixture of production numbers and live performances in front of a small studio audience.

Disc 1 begins with the show's opening production number, a medley of "Trouble" and "Guitar Man". Then we get the songs from the "stand up" performances. No, this isn't Elvis doing stand up comedy. It is a live performance of Elvis singing some of his biggest hits with a full orchestra. There were two of these "stand up" shows, and the CD features the "best" performances from them. For the most part, these are great, but "Blue Suede Shoes" doesn't really work with the big arrangement it's given here. Next, all nine minutes of the production number called the "Gospel Medley" is featured. Then we get "Memories", which was the second single released from the show. Next, "A Little Less Conversation", which was recorded for the show but not used (a remix of this song became a big hit just a few years ago). Then the production number called the "Road Medley" is featured, appearing for the first time in all it's 15 minute glory. The first disc closes with "If I Can Dream", the great first single from the special.

Disc 2 leads off with three songs from the "dressing room rehearsals", where Elvis and his friends work out what they want to do for the "sit down" shows. Speaking of which, one of the complete "sit down" shows is next, and makes up the bulk of the disc. There were two "sit down" shows filmed, and the other one is featured on a CD called Tiger Man. These shows were designed to feature Elvis in an intimate setting, playing songs with his buddies and joking around. The instrumentation is sparse, with Elvis on guitar supported by his original guitarist Scotty Moore, his first drummer D.J. Fontana (banging on a guitar case), his pal Charlie Hodge on guitar and his movie stunt double Lance LeGault on tambourine. Elvis is clearly having fun here, and it's a real treat to listen to, mistakes and all. The CD ends with the version of "If I Can Dream" that Elvis sang live to end the show.

This set features some of the best performances of Elvis' career. He sounds invigorated throughout, and his enthusiasm shines through to the listener. This is truly a "must get" for any Elvis fan.

5 out of 5 stars Wow!.......2006-06-02

At 28 I discovered Elvis and I'm hooked now. I had never seen him perform "live" before so I rented the '68 Special DVD. I was blown away - - especially by the uncut sitdown shows on the '68 Special Edition DVD set.

I did some research and learned about this CD set and I had to get it! If you're not an Elvis fan before you listen to this, you will be afterwards.

Disc 1 is great - I love all of the previously unreleased material that didn't make it into the aired special but the real treasure is disc 2 - the fist sit down show. Elvis demonstrates his vocal ability - he can go from a raw "One Night" to a smooth ballad - "Memories". I also love the fact that he really rocks out on the guitar. The "oh yeahs" and the "one more times" from his original bandmates - Moore and Fontana - make this CD even better. They are all having a blast! This is an imtimate look at the "real" Elvis - a downhome, funny guy who loves making music. You really feel like you are listening to an informal jam session in one of their homes.

I will say, that if you've never seen the '68 Special with the uncut sit down shows you really need to. You can appreciate the banter between bandmates a little more once you actually see what they are laughing about.

All in all Elvis this proves why Elvis was and always will be The King!

4 out of 5 stars Elvis 68 almost the best he ever got.......2006-05-28

It's late I should be sleeping, but I made a mistake. I tried, I really tried. I went to listen the 68' Elvis comeback special on Cd, released in 1998 as Memories: The '68 Comeback Special. Simply listen to it, and return it to the library, but I became distracted by track 14, and then track 16. Let's limit ourselves there.

"Trying to Get to You" stretches far back, 12 years worth to the beginning as Elvis explains earlier how they used to record. His yearn for the past almost makes it, and he has just the right ingredients in Scotty Moore on guitar to his left, and a mock gospel setting propelling him on, most notably in Charlie Hodge, saying things like "you got it!" The intimate crowd has Elvis feeling relaxed and comfortable and the growl in his voice shows why he truly was one of the great (the first?) rock singers. "One more, One more, one more time," he pleads for another verse.

"Sounds like your goin' up." Response: "Aww get dirty baby". On "Baby What You Want Me To Do," Elvis begins again, starting all over again, especially next to "Tryin to Get To You," where he went backwards. It's the simplest 3 chord pattern, but Elvis tears up on guitar adding just the right oomph, a malicious inflection until he rises in unison with a series of vocal "hup, hup, hup".

The early Sun recordings of Elvis, recorded with Sam Phillips were so good, that the '68 comeback special can only fruitlessly grasp to gather it's magic. In that sense, this is a disappointment, but Elvis was never to sound any better. Skip the over produced first side that includes one to many medleys and comes across as soulless.

2 out of 5 stars eh.......2007-07-03

The production is on par with a lot of other stuff going on, but if you're looking for something as engaging as the first two albums, especially Wake the Dead, don't expect it from Broadcasting. Scott Wade defined the front-end sound of Comeback Kid, and, while sometimes bands can move forward after changing singers, I believe Comeback Kid just moved in a different direction. Not altogether bad, but not the earlier Comeback Kid.

4 out of 5 stars Out with the old and in with the new..........2007-03-17

The vocalist change-up is probably the single most important progression for Comeback Kid. My biggest gripe about these guys was Scott Wade's terrible monotone crow-like vocals. With Andrew now on the mic, the vocals are very dynamic, from screams, yells, and not-whiny clean singing. This guy is a very talented vocalist (in addition to song writer). In the past he has written and recorded all the songs. This album sounds like he gave a little more creative power to the other band members (which isn't such a great thing). Musically, this definitely is a slight regression from Wake The Dead (which had an awesome Skate Punk musical feel). The song structures are more interesting with some experimental feel, reaching into more broad territory than in their past. The setback is the speed has dropped considerably (less than half of the album is fast), replaced with a majority of mid-tempo hymns, and dabbling with emo passages. All the fast songs slow down about 30% into the song and have the same slow outro. Wake The Dead was one of the few totally amazing Blasting Room sounds (with an amazing bass sound). Broadcasting has the typical flat Blasting Room sound (which sounds like a glorified garage Pro-Tools studio), with dull felty kick drum, and low-gain, low-volume guitar, and terrible P-Bass sound (after a ripping bass sound on Wake The Dead). So in some ways, this is a milestone better, and in other aspects its a step-down. Either way, I'd recommend buying this record. The track order starts with two relatively mellow songs, before exploding the energy. And to me, track flow really affects the feel of the album. So I recommend only listening to this on random mix. Highlight tracks are Give'r, In Case of Fire, and In/Tuition (which is a really strong snappy closing song). If the tone were nearly as biting and thick as Wake The Dead, and the ratio of fast to slower songs was greater, this could have been 5 stars.

5 out of 5 stars wow.......2007-03-05

Very surprising turnaround for this band. I loved Scott Wade's vocals, but I never thought that this band could replace him with better vocals, more interesting post hardcore elements, and still keep that fast paced classic hardcore sound. Excellent CD. Every bit as good as Wake The Dead, and definitely not a repeat. Listeners who don't know that Scott left probably won't notice a difference, which is amazing. The new guy (former guitarist) actually sounds remarkably like Scott, but with more range and variety.

2 out of 5 stars YAWN!!!!!.......2007-03-02

COMEBACK KID'S LAST TWO ALBUMS WERE FILLED WITH GREAT HOOKS, CATCHY SING-A-LONGS AND SOME PRETTY GOOD BREAKDOWNS. THESE QUALITIES HELPED SET THEM APART FROM A MUCH OVER-LOADED GENRE. SO WHAT HAPPENED? FOR ONE, THE LOSS OF THIER ORIGINAL SINGER REALLY HURT THEM BECAUSE FOUNDING MEMBER ANDREW NEUFELD(ORIGINALLY A GUITARIST) HAS A WEAK DELIVERY. SECONDLY THE HOOKS AND SING-A-LONGS ARE JUST PLAIN BLAND. LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE MUSIC IS FAIRLY UNINTERESTING AND SOUNDS LIKE A THOUSAND OTHER "OLD SCHOOL MELODIC HARDCORE" BANDS THAT CLOG UP THE SCENE. THE ONLY REASON I GIVE IT TWO STARS INSTEAD OF ONE IS THE PRODUCTION FROM JASON LIVERMORE AND BILL STEVENSON IS STELLAR (AS USUAL}. DISSAPOINTING TO SAY THE LEAST!

5 out of 5 stars One of the greatest hardcore albums in years.......2007-02-28

When I heard the news Scott Wade was leaving Comeback Kid because he felt he was holding back the band, I- along with many CBK fans- were surprised and disappointed. I was sure if they put out another album it would never be the same as the outstanding albums Turn It Around and Wake The Dead. It turned out I was right. Broadcasting is different than Turn It Around and Wake The Dead... it's phenomenal.

Scott Wade might have had a point when he felt he was holding back the band because Andrew Neufield has better range as a vocalist and his lyrics are very, very well-written, although they're much darker and often times read like something Wes Eisold could've written if Give Up The Ghost was still active.

CBK's instrumentals have always been excellent and they step it up even further on Broadcasting. They do tend to use very similar breakdowns at times; that's the only knock I can think of on this album, and even then it's not much of a knock because the breakdowns never seem repetitive.

Perhaps the most impressive piece of Broadcasting is the production. CBK worked in the Blasting Room with Bill Stevenson for this album (just like they did for Wake The Dead) and it shows.

Overall, this is one of the best hardcore releases in recent years. Old-school hardcore will live on forever as long as these guys are playing music. 5 stars out of 5.

Album Description

COMEBACK KID have gained more momentum in the heavy musicscene this year than most bands do their whole career. With the 2003 release of their debut album, Turn It Around, and tours in North America,Europe, Australia, and Japan under their belts, the world is learning that COMEBACK KID are a force to be reckoned with. Originally formed as a side project to the Canadian hardcore act, FIGURE FOUR, the passion and energy of COMEBACK KID quickly took precedence and made them a full-time priority. Metal/Hardcore website Lambgoat.com stated, "these guys know how to play proficient, rewarding hardcore...this is one of the most solid releases I've heard in a long, long while." With a full-time label behind them, COMEBACK KID are unstoppable, and their debut album on VICTORY RECORDS, Wake The Dead, is a must-have for every fan of hard music with a message.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars ARE YOU INTO GOOD PUNK???.......2007-06-07

Well I am and if you are into good punk rock, then you will surely like this CD. I've listened to cd so many times now, that I still like it. It is great to be headbanging to, and breaking walls. I see some commentors, compare this band to SUM41, and I can see why, because there style does sound similar. Though I have to say, this album is nothing like SUM41's album CHUCK, in my opinion (I'm entitle to my opinion too!) it is way better than the album chuck. Its also a good album to be working out with also, because it is very energetic! As I said all the songs are good, it is hard to say which song is the best from the album.
If you are a punk rock fan you will like this album, I know you will. If you like metal and hate punk rock, then you should be looking at other cd's cause this band will surely not be fitting your taste!

4 out of 5 stars It's interesting.......2006-07-21

It's interesting how several of the past reviews say this band isn't like Underoath and several other labeled Hardcore bands. Few seem to know what pure Hardcore music sounds like. This is a totally Hardcore band. Completely fits into this genre. And concerning the review a few past "yelling" is more of the idea than "screaming." I enjoy screamo music. It is one of my favorite genres, but it is pretty disappointing that you have to be a screamo band to be hardcore anymore. That is not what hardcore is.

4 out of 5 stars Hardcore, not Metal or Metalcore, there is a BIG difference!.......2006-07-19

Anyone who reviewed this and said it isn't hardcore doesn't have the slightest clue what hardcore is. Hardcore is not As I Lay Dying and it certainly is not Underoath like the reviewer "January" claims. Comeback Kid on the other hand is very much hardcore. Hardcore is Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Sick of It All, etc. and while Comeback Kid isn't that good yet, they certainly can be one day and this album is a good step in that direction. If you want to get into hardcore, check out this record and their first album "Turn It Around."

5 out of 5 stars They own so much!.......2006-07-05

This cd is just pure intensity. From the start to the finish it never slows up and Im glad it was short because hearing it live is a trip. Whoever tried to compare CBK to Underoath and As I Lay Dying, your an idiot. I love both of those bands but they are not in the same sub genre as CBK. They are old skool hardcore.

And if mr im busy and dont wanna register wants to step into a CBK pit thinking they suck as much as Sum 41 he'll get knocked down and trampled. Those pits are insane because the guy has such a great voice and the band goes crazy.

If you like old skool hardcore or bands like Bane and With Honor pick this up. You will not be disappointed.

1 out of 5 stars I dont see how these guys are so good!.......2006-05-30

some people say these guys rock and they are totally hardcore. Whoever says that is wrong. These guys dont even sound like As I Lay Dying or Underoath, and I cant believe people relate Comeback Kid to them. Comeback Kid is just a wanna bee screaming hardcore band. They think they are cool but they really arent. There music is full of yelling. Its like this guy wants to scream, but he cant. What kind of a band substitutes screaming for yelling? If you ask me, these guys suck!! As I Lay Dying and Underoath are real metal and hardcore and are way better than these wimps!

Brian Setzer is not what you'd call a forward-looking guy. For this veteran guitarist and vocalist, the question is how far back he directs his attention. After having spent a major chunk of the '90s delving into the jump-blues and swing of the '40s and early '50s, Setzer returns to the revved-up rockabilly that first earned him a following when he fronted the Stray Cats in the early '80s. Originality has never been Setzer's forte and here the inclination to borrow extends to his songwriting: "5 Years, 4 Months, 3 Days" lifts generously from Dave Dudley's trucker anthem "Six Days on the Road" and Heart fans will recognize the riff that ushers in "Hell Bent." Still, Setzer is ideally suited as a player and singer to stand-in for rockabilly pioneers Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran, which he proves here with the high-energy likes of the title track, "Hot Rod Girl," and, especially, the punky album highlight, "Get 'Em on the Ropes." "I guess I'm behind the times," he sings in "'59." With each album, Setzer confirms that's where he belongs. --Steven Stolder

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars IGNITION!.......2007-03-15

This is one of my favorite CDs of all time. It's an energized rockabilly extravaganza, with the commanding presence of Setzer's Gretsch, and his strong vocals leading the way. From the opening song, "Ignition", to the final song, "Malaguena", it doesn't let up. The stellar lineup includes Brian Setzer on vocal/guitars, Mark Winchester on stand-up bass, and Bernie Dresel on drums. For me, this is a CD I can listen to where I enjoy both the music and the stories being told in the songs. I can picture a rebel dude driving his hot `50s car or Harley with his babe by his side! My favorite tunes are, well, all of `em! Some highlights for me are: "Ignition", a straight ahead rockabilly rocker. "Hell Bent", a cool, Johnny Cash type tune with some really hot and fast rockabilly licks. I saw Brian perform it on Conan O'Brien and, my God, he was smokin'! "Hot Rod Girl", an upbeat rockabilly tune with some very tasty licks and probably one of my favorite solos by Brian. The CD closes with "Malaguena", a revved up version of the Spanish-classical tune. I remember learning the classical guitar finger picking version of the song from the book "Solo Guitar Playing" by Fredrick Noad, when I was beginning to play guitar, so I was surprised and happy to hear this song on the CD.
I did get the privilege of going to one of the live shows for this tour, and Brian and the guys were incredible.
So, if you like Brian Setzer, the Stray Cats, and `50s rockabilly with an updated energy, I think you'll love this CD.

4 out of 5 stars Think Stray Cats with more conviction.......2006-11-12

After being an integral part of the swing revival with the Brian Setzer Orchestra, Ignition! is a return to Brian Setzer's rockabilly roots. While the sound on this album is similar to his days with the Stray Cats, the performances have a lot more fire and passion. In fact, Setzer's playing has never been better than it is here. As for the songs, several of them are top notch as tracks like "5 Years, 4 Months, 3 Days", "Hot Rod Girl", and "Santa Rosa Rita", and the smoking title track would have fit right in on the Stray Cats' Built for Speed album. Other superb tracks include the nostalgic "Dreamsville", the rave up "Get 'em On the Ropes", and the very catchy and melodic "59." However, the album's greatest tracks are the faster ones where Setzer gets to wail. "Hell Bent" is a wicked tune where Brian starts solo with the vocal over some nasty licks before the band kicks the song into overdrive. "The Legend of Johnny Kool (Part 2)" outrocks its predecessor on the Brian Setzer Orchestra's Guitar Slinger album while the closing instrumental "Malaguena", with its roller coaster ride of moods, is another gem. Other tracks like "Rooster Rock", "Blue Café", and "8 Track" are pretty decent although the latter would have worked better without all the yodeling. All told, if you liked the Stray Cats but wished they rocked a little harder, Ignition! is the album for you.

5 out of 5 stars Grab your Gretsch 59!.......2006-06-20

This is Brian Setzer showcasing his over the top guitar wizardry and witty lyrical ability in near peak form. After spending most of the 90's with his big band orchestra, he takes a left hand turn back to his Stray Cat roots. Although 68CS is a three piece band, the comparison to the Stray Cats ends there.

From his snarling lyrics in "Get em' on the ropes" and "hell bent" to his country chops in a self parody like tune, "8 Track" to his blues influence in "Hot Rod Girl" and "Rooster Rock" this record is packed with creativity. He even manages to sneak in a little influence from south of the border with "Santa Rosa Rita" and the killer instrumental in "Madaguena" as the final curtain drops.

Brian's real genius is his ability to mix the styles of blues, swing, country, and jazz right on the fly. Add some light hearted lyrics and a nice supporting cast in Bernie Dresel and Mark Winchester, and you've got yourself a great rockin disc.

Although this should be on the shelf of every hard core rockabilly fan, it's friendly enough for casual to sit up and take notice. Brian Setzer continues his quest in keeping great rockabilly alive.

The only thing I wasn't too thrilled about is Brian seems to have no interest in creating another project similar to "Ignition." His follow up record, "Nitro Burnin Funny Daddy" was very personal, almost too bluesy, and the lyrics were a bit dark. In his next solo project, "Rockabilly Riot" Brian takes a whole other direction strips everything down, and gives us nice history lesson on the pioneers of rockabilly.

Although "Nitro Burnin Funny Daddy" and "Rockabilly Riot" have nice highlights, I still hope he taps the creativity he used to make "Ignition" to create another great rockabilly experience. So grease your hair, grab your Gretsch 59' and let Brian Setzer drive us and rockabilly into the future!

Album Description

Torquil Campbell of Stars writes: "Nightsongs" was a loving pastiche, but a pastiche nonetheless; "The Comeback" e.p. is easily the best, most original music we've ever made; it is a reaction to the mundanity of some people's reactions to our work; and we like it very much. We love Montreal, but we are very poor and very bored with that; the only way to make a comeback is not give a shit about being made fun of! We don't give a shit! Don't make fun of us! We are very serious people! Amy and Chris are in love! Evan and Chris are in love! I hate all of them! vive la revolution douce! "KRUSH" (Amy calims this is about me making her move from Toronto to Montreal, but i think it`s about her having a crush on Sully. Whatever, it's a hook and we believe in hooks) "VIOLENT" (Let's just say that sexuality is a powerful artistic tool; Sully really sounds like he needs to get off in this song) "THE ASPIDISTRA FLIES (This is a love song for lovers and people who have hope about the world; we wanted it to be very very beautiful; Eric Hove is a genius and plays the most wonderful saxaphone) "COTE DES NEIGES" (We all wanted to write an instrumental, so I came up with the idea of a snowfall, seeing as that the sole sensory experience you have in Montreal between november and April; Cranner and Sully wanted it to sound like spiritualized; I wanted it to sound like Losaida from Joe Jackson's Body and Soul lp (there i go with that 80's obsession again!) so i wrote that theme) "THE COMEBACK" (When U first wrote this, I thought it was a character study of a washed up rock star; then I realized it was the most autobiographical song I've ever written! Maybe it's both! A band favourite).

5 out of 5 stars Probably the bands best yet........2002-01-29

Watch out for this band because they are on a move. Sad to hear about their less than ideal current record deal, but I'm sure a few more record sales would help them get out of the contract (hint.) This is the bands most provoking release yet. Their influences (one of which being The Smiths) are becoming weaker in the wake of their own emerging style.

Mellow pop finds beautifications in instrumentation and electronification. The bands sound is truly unique and innovative. The vocals bring a unique life to the music in slightly nasal, basic harmony. Their music makes me think French people who wish they were from British and then moved to the US. This is a must listen for lovers of mellow pop and those venturing into more electronic forms of music. My lack of ability to think of comparisons leads me to believe this band is doing something truly exciting and unique.

5 out of 5 stars another amazing record.......2001-10-11

on their second release, stars prove that they will continue to grow in new and beautiful ways. even though their debut album, nightsongs, was released not too long ago, stars have already refined their sound. the hooks are even more perfected and the lyrics enticingly move from color to color and with great intensity.
the fist cut on the ep, the comeback, is a clear pop dance song, full of bittersweet hooks. the second track, violent, explores sexuality in a dark yet somehow loving way. the aspidistra files is simple and very acoustic love song. then stars give us our first instrumental, cotes des neiges, a song that was written to evoke winter. the ep then finishes with the comeback, another hook-filled number that reminds me of a cut off of nightsongs.
This ep is a beautiful addition to this band's small discography. A must have for fans of low key, beautiful electronica. The guy/girl vocals also add to the overall mood of the piece. A great album.

Jordan: The Comeback is Prefab Sprout's crowning moment, a pop album whose ambition--and achievement--challenge and ultimately top those of, say, XTC's Skylarking. Group mastermind Paddy McAloon covers the gamut here, ranging from incisive takes on American legends (Elvis and Jesse James) to love songs both wistful ("We Let the Stars Go") and self-assured ("Looking for Atlantis"). Jordan climaxes with "One of the Broken," a singular plea for compassion in which McAloon assumes the character of none other than God. --Rickey Wright

Album Details

Paddy Macaloon is Arguably One of England's Finest Modern Songwriters, and this 1990 Release was a Gloriously Overlong Melange of Styles, Bound Together by Some of his Most Inspired Melodies. The Nineteen Tracks Cover a Typically Diverse Range of Subject Matters, Including a Quartet of Songs About the Rise and Fall of Elvis Presley that Provide the Album with Its Thematic Core. Elsewhere, on Songs Such as "we Let the Stars Go", "All the World Loves Lovers" and "Doo Wop in Harlem" Macaloon's Songwriting Hit New Peaks. Never Gaining the Commercial Success it Deserved, "Jordan: The Comeback's" Heady Brew Even Appeared to Be a Step Too Far for Macaloon, who Did Not Release Another Album for Seven Years.

5 out of 5 stars Even more brilliant than others have claimed.......2005-06-13

Great Beauty. Mastery. Breadth. Depth. Integral Balance. Humour. A dark streak. On and On and On.

And it came from that golden time: when alternative music was truly alternative and not a commercial peg; when the legacies of psychedelia, the singer-songwriter tradition -- and just about anything else you can imagine, had the opportunity to allign itself in the practiced, collective geniueses of McAloon and Dolby; there must have been hell to pay.

The album may prove to be hermetic though; it's references may resonate for relatively few lucky people. Count yourself lucky.

5 out of 5 stars Just Adding To The Accolades.......2004-10-30

I know of no other band which I've turned on to so many other people as Prefab Sprout. We always try to get others to dig what we're digging, and sometimes it works. But whomever I've had listen to either "Two Wheels Good" or "Jordan: The Comeback," they've left blown away. McAloon is one of the premiere songwriters of this generation, hands down. And those years from "Two Wheels" through "Andromeda Heights" are the finest in pop music. "Jordan: The Comeback" never loses its freshness, and I've listened to it dozens upon dozens of times. It's just an incredibly beautiful album. Nothing else like it.
You won't know what hit ya.

5 out of 5 stars Prefab' climax.......2003-07-25

Great, great album, though Steve McQueen is still my all time fave. Plenty of great ones here though. Don't forget "Protest Songs" either..

5 out of 5 stars More diverse than "Langley Park", and still great........2002-05-27

"From Langley Park To Memphis" is a masterpiece of lyrical literacy it is difficult for me to imagine anyone surpassing. However, McAloon in his heyday (1985-1990) was so skilled at writing lyrics that thrill me with their literacy that he attempted to outdo himself yet again.
Though the opener "Looking For Atlantis" is a slight misstep with its self-indulgent lyric, the music and playing are more impressive even than on "From Langley Park to Memphis." The next four songs are delicate pop, except for the dense funk of "Carnival 2000", a brilliant track highlighted by powerful horns and percussion. "Machine Gun Ibiza" is the most accessbile song on the whole album, but contains yet another wonderfully literate chorus in "Well you've earned the right to hang out with/Machine Gun Ibiza - Voodoo up rollmo' down/Machine Gun Ibiza/Hanging' ten with the hurrican sound.
The next four songs relate to the life of Jesse James and Elvis Presley, and are highlighted by the brilliant "Moondog" with its wonderful piano line and great lyric ("We chopped down a billion trees to print up eulogies" and ""And Daddies shook their fists/At hidden Communists"). The next group of songs include the beautiful ditty "All Boys Believe Anything" and "The Ice Maiden", a tribute to ABBA [I'm not a fan myself] that shows McAloon at his most literate. "Paris Smith" is a dream of a bad marriage for McAloon's vocal partner Wendy Smith, a theme continued in the next song "The Wedding March", their sparsest song ever.
The next three songs represent a plea for mercy from God and include the beautiful "One Of The Broken" with its semi-spoken vocal, and "Michael" (a reference to the archangel) on which McAloon's vocal sounds quite like Tori Amos (before Amos' time!), but manages to pull it off with some brilliant lines like "Ambition took me speed of light/To God's exclusion zone". "Mercy" is another short and beautiful ballad, and these tracks show him distancing himself from the fascinations with witches and idolatry he showed on previous albums.
The record then takes a sharp turn with the hard-rocking but wonderfully tuneful, even beautiful "Scarlet Nights", with Neil Conti's most powerful drumming since "The Golden Calf", and Wendy Smith making more prominent vocal contributions than on previous albums. The final track "Doo Wop In Harlem" continues the themes outlined in "From Langley Park To Memphis"' "Hey Manhattan", but is an extremely slow piano-driven ballad.
On the whole, this is a more diverse set than the two previous masterpieces, and is probably not the best introduction to a band whose best music is essential for any music fan. However, no flaws can be found with "Jordan: The Comeback" - it further solidifies McAloon's wonderful songwriting skills.

4 out of 5 stars For Collectors: ***** / For Casual Fans **.......2006-11-24

The packaging is exquisite, including the attractive framing of the songlist, but "Collectors" and "Casual Fans" beware: "Blue Moon", "Young Love", "Oh, Happy Day", probably the titles mostly likely to entice buyers are small fragments, not even long enough to be considered parts of a medley. The longtime Collector will get some enjoyment from "Blue Moon"; "Oh, Happy Day" doesn't sound like much more than the song title itself. It looks great in print, but for the uninitied it could be a serious disappointment.
Another title "I Found That Light" is not the "new" song buyers who are not familiar with Gospel music might expect. It's actually a medley element - "Up Above My Head" apparently should have been listed as "Up Above My Head"/"I Found That Light" on the original release. Having said that, it's still a stirring number.
Previously unreleased "Dressing Room" performances of "I Got A Woman" and "When It Rains, It Really Pours" are two of the most exciting things Elvis ever cut - and these tunes were for *personal reference*! For the serious fan/collector, these two tracks are worth the price of the whole CD.
Add "Memories" to that. It's an "alternate vocal" to the familiar music bed. The shoulda-been-number-one-Pop Valentine should be included in any future Presley collection where his "art" is the theme. It's quite an experience for a fan who values a tune over time, to be moved *again* by the same song (with a different "feel").
The CD title tune is another amazing alternate of the E.P. semi-hit from '68; the backing isn't as tight but the lead vocal is even stronger than on the TV Special remake. The famous B-side, "It Hurts Me", another shoulda-been, is at least as good as the original from the show (originally not included in the first two telecasts).
Most of the rest have their "moments" - the tracks are for those who just love to listen to Elvis. Example: an outtake of "Trouble" will leave you "Breathless"! JLL might agree!!

Fat Come back is definitely different from the first CD Simple & Funky but Fat Come Back is all that. This one was co-produced by De La Soul. They along w/ Biz Markie, Common, Kamel and Youssou N'Dour make guest appearances on this CD that are really tight. Alliance Ethnik is definitely one of the best hip-hop groups on the planet. Songs I like are: "A La Poursuite Du billet", "Tu Sais Quoi", "Creil City", "Jam", "Wake Up", "Je Ne Regrette Rien","5 Heures Du Mat", and "Un Enfant Doit Vivre". Okay, I like most of the Damn CD.

Those into Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Saxon, Budgie, Angelwitch, etc.....check it out!!

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars More than just another rock album.......2005-09-26

Legend have really put something together special here, whether this is the result of 20 years out of the limelight I don't know, but this is one of the best pieces of original material I have listened to in long time and like many other reviews, they are without of a different calibre.

5 out of 5 stars One of the most original bands I have heard in years.......2005-05-30

Where can I start? If you want to listen to a band that makes catchy serious songs with an original progressive metal sound then I have to recommend buying this album. All the tracks on this record are good and some of the guitaring is comparative to Joe Satrioni and Uri Jon Roth, but with a freshness that is away from the mainstream grunge and death metal thats appearing on cable all the time.

4 out of 5 stars Different.......2005-03-10

Apart from the synthesiser drums (no mention of a drummer on the sleeve)and the high pitched vocals this is a pretty good album. The tracks are catchy and the musicianship is good.

5 out of 5 stars Legend - Flying the flag for the NWOBHM movement........2004-08-06

The tracks on this record are very catchy. My favourite has to be 'Eden Massacre', but they all have something to offer. It's also surprising that this band has manged to produce such a fine quality follow up album since their last work way back in the early 80's. It's almost as if they had never stopped playing. The NWOBHM movement with Legend is truely alive.

5 out of 5 stars Cool Hard Rock.......2004-07-28

I really like this band, Legend have a unique style that is freshly away from all the Nu-Metal and Death Metal crap that's out there at the moment. There is also nothing neo-classical in this which makes a change, just hard rock similar to Sabbath. I was interested to read on Legend's Website that Lars from Metalicca use to listen to them back in the Eighties. So all I can recommend is go out and buy it!
