question:
This is a really good CD . I liked the other BRMC albums a lot as well, but I think those had that quality where they were initially catchy and you loved it and thought it was the greatest thing ever, but after a few listens it got kinda tired... Still good, but you'd think "oh yeah..." Howl is the opposite. It was OK the first time I listened to it, and I kinda liked it, but it didnt really dig it's claws into me. For that reason it didn't get pulled out of the CD wallet all that often. Then I put it in one day and thought "ya know, this is actually pretty good." Then I started listening to it some more and thought "man, this is really, really good!" Guess what? Now I love it... This is definitely a creeper CD, as in - it creeps up on you (yeah, that was a stoner analogy.) I think "weight of the world" is the best song on the CD, but "howl" had really grown on me too - but I don't want to harp on the songs too much, this is an album as a whole. Bands grow up and change, and I'm glad to see that BRMC has done it, and done it well. They haven't lost their muse or gotten "softer" just to try something different -- they've grown and changed and their music shows it. I remember my freshman year in college when Achtung Baby came out and there were people saying stuff like "boycott U2 cuz they're sellouts!" - not realizing that AB would be looked at as probably the most insightful, clever, and musically interesting album of their catalog. That's what the backlash to Howl reminds me of -- shortsighted and not entirely accurate. Yeah, people may fear change, and admittedly, some artists try it and look like complete idiots in the process (Chris Gaines, anyone...) but BRMC has actually grown, and if you liked their first 2 CD's I'd say give this one a shot. It's really good - and I'm proud of 'em for making it.

question:
This IS Pop,I Think! . XTC didn't start out with any remote idea of aspiring to the very stifling punk classicism of the day.The only relation 'White Music' has to punk is the simple three chord structures. Otherwise tunes like the catchy "This Is Pop" and the offbeat, quircky reggae of "All Along The Watchtower" have more relation to not only early British invasion music but to the more abstract musical experiments of American avante rockers.Neither is this in any way typical XTC-in years to come the band would develope a sound much more melodic and sweet (neither of those terms ever apply to this music) but the stuttering vocals and Andy Partirdge's clever humor are more then enough to carry this album.From a guy whose more interested in funk and fusion normally I find this album worth a listen-'White Music' will definately command your attention.And it's not too loud either

POS

question:
Too bad there's no "Zero Stars" rating . This disc is BAD!!! Right at the 2" mark the sound of the "rock water" is join by what sounds like a slow draining bathtub. This sound is more or less present throughout the entire hour. Other discs of this type that I've heard don't do this
