No other band so effectively combines the romance and heartbreak of the Christ-haunted life as The Choir. While I expected excellence, Shadow Weaver has become one of my most-listened-to albums of the year. The Choir returned with yet another stellar collection of poetic songs.
He confronts the compromise and hypocrisy that spills from our individual hearts and soaks into the fabric of our culture, all without forgetting that his primary job is to rock. Petty is defiant, encouraging, humorous and socially conscious without being the slightest bit preachy. Tom Petty may not get on the radio with his new songs the way he did in previous decades, but Hypnotic Eye is a barnburner nonetheless. Hypnotic Eye - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers “Gimme Something Good” is his prayer and mine.ħ. He settles for Americana rock precision and knocks this one out of the park. Innovation can sometimes be a tool used by artists to disguise their inability to deliver what audiences want. The production is lean and powerful and Adams' voice is insistent and direct. This is Adams at his sober, fulfilled and yet still hungry best. His lyrics are as cryptic and oddly narrative as ever, though with even deeper connections to his Catholic roots. Lazaretto is everything you could want from a Jack White joint, unless you’ve grown weary of his manic determination to represent the roots of American rock music.
Jack White returned this year with yet another slice of his wonderfully tweaked blues-based rock and roll.
Besides, you already have it on your phone. Songs of Innocence may have been born under less than ideal conditions, but to miss this level of artistry would be a shame. Under the cloud of misplaced hype, one of the most important bands in the history of rock released one of their most vulnerable and deeply spiritual records.
