CD ReviewsMid 1970's legends-Sparks J. Owens | TEXAS,USA | 02/17/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "Propoganda is impressive and a great example of "real" songwriting,although quirky and WAY off-beat. I first saw the Brothers Mael on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert on a Friday night in 1975 and was an instant fan,although I was in to way heavier music at the time. Being a musician, I "got it",as far as what they were doing musically and lyrically. This is a classic album from the 70's era,a multi-tracked master-piece with classic hooks,guitar licks,piano fills and melody galore. Some VERY witty tracks on this CD,folks,and proof there was some artistic,humorous rock and roll of the highest order made in the mid-1970's. If you can only understand 3-chord rock,don't buy this CD,but if you savvy what a recording artist is all about,turn yourself on to the work of two near-genius brothers. You will not regret it,I promise..." At Home At Work At Play Harold G. Meeks Jr. | raleigh nc | 05/14/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "This is the followup to the brilliant glam-rock excess of Kimono My House, which is an essential 70's album. Propaganda was written in the studio, a sort of brain-dump by Ron Mael of all the stuff that sticks in his head -- appropriation of british music hall and classical music themes, pun-filled juvenile/clever sexual innuendo. It has the same production values (bombastic excess), and a really really strong opening. But, if you want to buy just one Sparks album, get Kimono My House. If you want to buy a second one, get Angst in My Pants. If you want a third....well, you have a bunch of good ones to pick from, including this one. --hal " Quite simply.......a masterpiece Elizabeth R. Murphy | Yukon,Oklahoma | 10/23/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album is,without a doubt,one of my desert island top 5.
As good as Kimono My House is,this is even better.The production has a warmer,natural feel to it,and the musicianship is top notch. Not to mention the fact that Ron Mael's songwriting was the best it had ever been.I've owned this album on every format available.In fact,I've got four vinyl copies of it alone.I met Ron and Russell once.They were,at the time,ignoring their past and wouldn't play any of this live. They've since seen the light.Buy this now." |
