CD Reviews

Instant Classic

x51out | Arizona | 11/24/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I bought this on a hunch after reading a newspaper article about some amateur musician/artist with mental problems. This is absolutely NOT the type of music I normally listen to... yet I was completely slack-jawed and awe-struck when I first listened to this CD. In other words: I love this stuff. I didn't even have to listen to it a few times. I liked it right away. I am not saying that this is for everyone, but this material is an instant classic. You kind of have to understand this guy to appreciate the music, and if you don't then you don't... I am sure it is ok by him... he'd still ask you: "hi how are you"?"

A Bad Singer? So Is 90% of Punk...

"I almost didn't buy this or the equally as important album "The Late Great Daniel Johnston" because of a review below concerning his "amatuerish" singing. This is completely ridiculous and unjustifiable. I remember hearing David Byrne 29 years ago on "Talking Heads 77" and thinking the same thing...for about 10 seconds before I understood that his importance and truth as a songwriter had nothing to do with his ability to sing and emotionally relate honest his feelings. In truth? Daniel eclipses Mr. Byrne in every facet imaginable.

I'm still wiping away my tears...God bless this man!"

Love will never die

"Daniel Johnston is like a modern day outsider artist. He draws and plays music and seems to have a childlike view of the world. He writes love songs and bangs chords on the piano like there is no tomorrow. He creates most of the artwork for his records too. He use to record stuff on a boombox. These tapes circulated around and Johnston ended up influencing Kurt Cobain and then recording a record with The Butthole Surfers. He's been compared to people like Brain Wilson and Roky Erickson. Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse has recorded his songs in the past. Linkous and Johnston were destined to collaborate. The result seemed more layered and complex than some of those early bedroom tapes. "Power of Love" sounds like Foreigner on LSD. The song "Mountain Top" is a feel good song, meant for driving on the open road. "You Hurt Me" sounds like Biz Markee. Let love be forever or fear yourself. It's great."
