Summary: Kissing and telling after a bad trip
Comment: The eleven samples for this CDs are all labeled as "EXPLICIT." Ha!
This is a remarkable album, although one I would want to keep my Ramones loving pre-teen away from - they are doing more than sniffing glue here. Yes, there is much drinking and drugging - I been there and seen that and it is a bit sophomoric and repetitive, but this band just rocks and it is funny and bright at times deadly brilliant. And, if you are bright they tell you the downside of constabnt partying.
"Citrus" is tender and accurate - soft and understated. Wonderful acoustic guitar. I am a pushover for novel love songs. And they lament the violence caused by drug traffic:
"I feel Jesus in the clumsiness of young and awkward lovers
I feel Judas in the long odds of the rackets on the corners
I feel Jesus in the tenements of honest, nervous lovers
I feel Judas in the pistols and the pagers that come with all the powders"
"Chillout Tent" is funny and sad and inspired - Hair for the new those who still have hair. I am a pushover for inventive love songs.
"they started kissing when the nurses took off their IVs,
it was kinda sexy, but it was kinda creepy.
their mouths were fizzy with the cherry cola,
they had the privacy of bedsheets
and all the other kids were mostly in comas."
"You Can Make Him Like You" is explicitly perfect - a desert island song. I am a pushover for cynical love songs.
"they say you don't have a problem
untill you start to do it alone
they say you don't have a problem
untill you start bringing it home
they say you don't have a problem
untill you start sleeping alone"
The chorus/chant on "Chips Ahoy!" is genius and for once outlines the down side of drug dependency - there are drugs, and there is lust but there is no intimacy or honest joy. It is funny and sad song and this makes it almost literature.
"wo-ah-oh-ee-ah-oh-ee-oh
wo-ah-oh-a-ee-oh-oh
wo-ah-oh-ee-ah-oh-ee-oh
wo-ah-oh-a-ee-oh-oh"
Buy this CD. Hear their live free concert on NPR's All Songs Considered Concert podcast.
Vaya con or sin drugs. Just buy it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: great album
Comment: This was one of the best rock albums of the last few years. The lyrics are stellar and thoughtful, the music is just true progressive rock and roll.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great album
Comment: Boys and Girls in America is a great album.
A little like Springsteen and E street Band, A little smaller band sound. Most songs have a strong piano lead.
I heard most of this live on NPR (All songs considered.) and then picked up the CD.
Customer Rating:
Summary: a classic now
Comment: and one of the best records from last year. refreshingly amazing lyrics and rockin' music. great live band too, i have seen them three times on the year-long tour for this LP.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Terrific
Comment: Urgent, lost, ecstatic, and weary, the Hold Steady's music holds nothing back. If this CD is, in its lyrics, a bleak ride, it is certainly an exhilarating one, and in that, perhaps, not much different than life. The state of the Republic may arguably be not all that great, but with bands like The Hold Steady, The National and Arcade Fire (yeah, I know they're Canadian, but we've always wanted to annex our northern neighbor anyway) the state of rock is just fine, thank you.
