CD Reviews

Much better than I expected
Erik | Bloomfield Hills, MI | 06/01/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Reunion albums are often so disappointing, I didn't expect it to sound anything like the Big Star I knew. But it's remarkable how they managed to keep the essence of the Big Star power-pop sound alive with just half the members. Is it another #1 Record/Radio City/Third? Of course not. But I still would have recognized this as a Big Star album just by listening to it. And what's the point in a group making another one of their old albums? Groups that put out the same thing over and over again get stale fast. Big Star's albums and Alex Chilton's albums are all considerably different from each other, and that's how they always managed to stay fresh. If you want to hear the same albums over and over again, that's what the old albums are there for."

"I mean for god's sake it's most of Big Star after 30 years! We should be groveling at the feet of Alex Chilton in fanatical thanks! Those Posies are incredibly lucky and they know it.



Listen to Love Revolution again - they are cracking up the whole time. They're having so much fun with that song, how can you not LOVE IT?? I usta have a Disco Sucks tee but I've been referring to myself as Disco Fox lately.



I'm just so glad Alex wasn't washed away in his New Orleans home during Katrina - he was one of the first folks I axed my N.O. peeps about. I'm happy to hear him doing ANYTHING.



PS: There's a Love Revolution mp3 RINGTONE at this site:

I'd love to get it but am suspicious - I assume there will be tons of hidden fees and resulting spam.... But if anyone buys it, email me and let me know if the company sucks or not. tcassin@emory.edu
