CD Reviews

Review from the Synthesis

Synthesis_jason | Chico, CA | 07/20/2005

(3 out of 5 stars)

"As a bizarro-rock wunderkind, and modern purveyor of the genreless melding of limited vocalization over flurried acoustic folk music, Danny Cohen has probably seen more criticism than praise in his 30-plus-year career. However, were it not for his latest album, We're All Gunna Die, this pressing malady would probably haunt Cohen for all eternity. Following the theme of death, the album peaks with songs like "Cousin Guy," a drawling, melancholy opus discussing everything and nothing in the way that only Cohen can. "Among the Cows" reveals the creepiness with which Cohen can deliver his visions as he sarcastically frets over love and peace. This certainly isn't an album for everyone. But I'd venture to guess that Cohen really wouldn't care what you thought anyway.

A LARGE CHEESE BALL COMING AFTER ME

thedre | San Francisco | 09/05/2008

(2 out of 5 stars)

"Actually, after hearing a number of cuts on this album, I can hear a kind of breathing limitation that Danny inflicts on himself that actuates into short tough phrasing. The only problem with this inforced style is that it's like a hole in a fishing net...only some fish get caught, and some will always get away. It's like staying in a certain key for many years....you think you're continually mining new material but after a while, it's just diamonds...never food or drink.

Gotta move now...here comes that cheeseball."

Nice breath of fresh air

D. Wagoner | Portland, OR United States | 09/05/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"You have to be in the mood to actively listen to music that will make you uneasy. This stuff isn't on an even keel, and you probably have to be a bit insane to appreciate it. Buy this album if you want a complete change of pace."
