The Best and Brightest/ Darkest.......2004-06-05
Sosobra........2004-04-24
I don't, however, rank this album amongst Floater's finest work, as it has some missteps in such tracks as "Colorblind", "Equinox", and a rework of an old classic, "Alcoholic", which doesn't carry the dark atmosphere of the original demo version found on their Danny Boy EP. The cover of the Doors' "Waiting For The Sun" is also a bit flat after a few listens, and probably should have been captured and released in its live form.
Floater burns their demons!.......2002-11-15
This is Floater's fourth album. Continuing along their progression from the previous _Angels in the Flesh and Devils in the Bone_ , Floater masters the art of song composition. When compared to Angels in the Flesh... this album has a stronger, more heavier sound, yet doesn't come off like their earlier albums Glyph or Sink. The album has a slight raw feeling, that grasps the energy of the songs in their entirety. But don't let that rawness fool you, this album has real good production values.
1. Here Comes the Dog - The opening track starts the album off with a bleak story. It makes you feel sad, but jumpstarts into Floater's signature chunky rock.
2. Watched Over By Crows - This meandering track winds it's way through serenity and oblivion. "We don't speak, we don't hear... nothing at all...."
3. I Know - Probably the lightest rock song on the album. It's sort of upbeat. I nice little number.
4. Queen of the Goats - In my opinion the first real POWERFUL song on the album. It's long episodic vision charges forward and searches the far reaches of your soul, and even beyond.
5. Exiled - A CLASSIC! Very original with a middle eastern flavor, as you hear Dave Amador's fingers grace and dance about the guitar frets, you are taken away to lands where the few have been exiled.
6. Independence Day - Another really great song. A sing along in fact. This song is mellow song with some really great lyrics such as "I'm stone jumping, looking at the ocean. I've got no direction, but I'm in motion."
7. King Rabbit - This is the albums bruiser song. It's fast and hard and pummels you. It bounces between being in limbo, to hectic-paced racing.
8. Milk of Heaven - A gentle number, personally a favorite of mine. First your wading through a field, the next your catapulted into the sky, looking into your dreams.
9. Albatross - Another overall really good Floater song.
10. The Marriage of the Black Sheep - This song is a story about a couple with their apparent differences getting in the way. Yet undoubtedly joined at the hip. It's an odd combination of hard and subtle sounds.
11. Colorblind - Acoustic classic. This song has some really catchy lyrics coupled with some nice acoustic strumming and solos.
12. Waiting for the Sun - A cover of The Doors classic song. But Floater style! Introducing Floater's up-and-down emotional ride into the song, this is also a fan favorite.
13. Alcoholic - Out comes the B-side from the Sink recording sessions... only this time it's a new recording! This is my least favorite track on the album. It's definitely dated.
14. Equinox - The final track is a warm little number. To the beat of some bongo drums, Floater finishes up the album in style... "Time is heard in the ticking of the clocks, as you and I make love to the equinox."
The producer for this album really pushed Floater as musicians. And you can tell. The guitar riffs on Queen of the Goats, Exiled, etc. are really perfected. The overall sound of the album is great! The bass is in harmony with the guitar, and the drums are at the right volume level. Burning Sosobra may not be as slick as an album like Glyph, but in terms of performance Floater has outdone themselves.
Another turn for the NW's best band.......2002-09-13
Up until the May 2002 release of Floater's 5th album, "Alter," "Burning Sosobra" was Floater's best effort. An easy 5 star rating.
