Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Drugged Out Weird Like Watching The Guyana Tragedy Comment: Ok I first glimpsed BJM in the movie DIG. I could tell he had something so I went out and found, easily, the Tepid Peppermint Retrospective 2cd set. Awesome. So I went online and bought Their Satanic Majesties 2nd Request(still waiting on it). Not satisfied, I went out and got Give It Back and My Bloody Underground. I had the lady at the store play the first song of MBU for me. When I first heard it I thought, "the sound is weirded out for some reason". But it had some strange appeal that I couldn't forget, so I bought it. All of these cds are good but I've been playing MBU constantly. Hearing it is like you are waking up and don't know where you are and the walls are moving and moaning. Trippy. I don't much care for the piano piece, and one of the songs sounds like the exact same drums/melody as that guy last year or year before with the song about "crazy" that was popular on the radio(can't think of his name). My favorite is still the first song as far as this album goes. BJM other favorites are certainly Anemone, Swallowtail, and many others. I'd like to see them live here in St. Louis but it looks like they are on a European tour with a quick stop in NYC, probably to restock their stash. Still, one can wish. Anton Newcomb is up their with all the real greats in music with no real star status. He is the real deal, and I'm glad I found out about him and his music before any real tragedy has struck. Hope this review helps true music lovers check BJM out. I plan to buy all his products at his label(The Committee To Keep Music Evil) where prices are best and all products available. Seek him while you can for some truly deliriously droning enlightenment. Customer Rating: Summary: anton gives up? Comment: i have all of brian jonestown massacre albums. some are uneven , but all have great stuff. the great songs stick in your head and can keep you up all night grinding your teeth to the tune. this album seems slipshod and rushed. i can't say i've heard anyone tune up guitars before a song in years , if ever, on a record. i did't want to start now, but it's there on this. there are piano instrumentals and a lot of noise 'songs'. i felt that this group was on the verge of getting their act together [see the movie 'dig', which is great], and poised to take a well deserved place among the greats, but this record is more likely to sink them than any bad behavior. save your dough , and pick up any of their other albums. this one is going to lose fans. a handful of good songs, the rest are strictly stuff i erase every night when i am recording, because i know better than to let anyone hear it. Customer Rating: Summary: Fantastic! Comment: If one is a fan of The BJM and the work of Anton Newcombe, this album will not dissapoint! It follows along the lines of his mid ninties works such as "Bravery Repitition Noise" and "Give It Back!". One should also watch the documentary "DIG!" if one is a new fan! Anton never dissapoints! Customer Rating: Summary: Anton's Masterpiece Comment: The title is perfect. Sounding like an unholy union of My Bloody Valentine and the Velvet Underground (with a splash of the Jesus & Mary Chain thrown in for good measure), this is the CD I've been waiting for Anton Newcombe and Co. to make. Druggy, messy, dirty and absolutely brilliant! The kind-of-familiar (in a good way) melodies are the most consistent ones I've heard on a BJM album ever. I particularly dig the stranded-in-the-eighth-circle-of-LSD-hell vibe of "just like kicking jesus" (Anton's always had a great knack for titles, my favorite being the first one on this album), the totally out of left field piano piece "we are the n***ers of the world" (a veiled reference to John & Yoko?) and the fittingly titled "black hole symphony", an overlong harsh/mellow instrumental that's totally self-indulgent yet ends the CD magnificently. Bloody good! Customer Rating: Summary: I'm not feeling it Comment: This recording for me a is bumbling, shambling mess. I've loved this band's music for years and there was a magical time during the mid to late 90's where Anton Newcombe was in a zone and he created some incredible music. His prolificity was amazing, and so was his never sell out attitude. I have continued to see BJM play live frequently and while it's always been an adventure (often a train wreck, always with a magical moment or two), I have noticed his sense and musical sensibilities on the retreat. Still, I waited for the new album. Now that it's here, I am sorry to say that it doesn't stand up in any way shape or form to what BJM has created in the past. The band and it's frontman appear to be in a downward spiral that's bordering on total delerium. More Reviews
