Johnny Thunder - So Alone



Story Milo sent me this album...here's my listening experience.




Pipeline - Nice. Has a nice classic rock feel to it.

You Can't Put Your Arms Round a Memory - Not a big fan of his voice. The guitarist is pretty good.

Great Big Kiss - I'm a sucker for horns, I would love this track without all the talking.

Ask Me No Questions - God I hate his voice. Great instumentation though.

Leave Me Alone - Ok.

Daddy Rollin Stone - Really catchy track. Still can't stand the vocals.

London Boys - Same as above.

Untouchable - Great song. Easily my favorite so far. His voice actually melRAB well with the music this time. Real nice Jazzy vibe once the horns kick in.

Subway Train - Nooooooooooooooooooo. There his voice goes again. First song on the album I didn't like.

Downtown - SounRAB like Johnny's take on the blues. Not bad.

Dead or Alive - Hmmmmm. Don't know if I like this track or not.

Hurtin - Good track. His voice works well with this one also.

So Alone - Not really liking this track. Huge dropoff in tempo compared to the rest of the album. Good nominee for saddest song though.

Wizard - Another great song. Real jazzy vibe to it. Definately one I'll listen to again.


Overall I would love this album to death if it was an instrumental. Johnny (I'm assuming that's the lead singers name) voice just doesn't do it for me.
The guitarist is pretty damn good (pretty sure that's Johnny too), every track for the most part has a really catchy beat to it. The stand out tracks in my opinion
are the ones infused with a bit of jazz. The album also has a real nice classic rock vibe to it.
If you like the Vocals you'll love this album. If you don't like the vocals you'll probably listen to it and search the net for an instrumental version,
but you won't delete b/c one day you know you might want to listen to it again.

Overall - Good Recommendation.

I give it a 6.5/10 because even though Johnny's voice annoyed me to death I still enjoyed the album and will eventully listen to it again. Go figure.

If you like his voice easily an 8/10.

Yes I relate to what you say. I went mad yesterday and bought 4 albums, 2 of them doubles and a book. I have countless gig that also deserves a listen, ahve albums I can't stop playing and as much as I enjoy these reviews I just can't keep up. I don't wanna die. I might miss something

dreadnaught sent me:

Hymie's Basement - Hymie's Basement

This is a very different album if you're not acustomed to lo-fi music, which I am not. So this album was a little hard to access for me. But after a few listens, and some different listening techniques, the album has found a place in my collection. While not becoming a favorite over night, Hymie's Basement has just enough stand-out moments to grab you and keep you interested if you listen for them. The closing track 'You Die' is by far my favorite on the album, the group covers more ground on this one song than they did the entire first portion of the album. Overall, this album is mood-cast, and can only be listened to when called upon.

6.5/10

[Random Persun]

I think I will definitely check that out.

PS. Everyone who PMed to be in for next weeRAB has been added.
