An album you should get,
By alexander laurence (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: And This Is Our Music (Audio CD)
Anton Newcombe has been the leader and source of this band for thirteen years. They are offensive, toxic, and dangerous. They are on a new label and this is their tenth or so record. Let's say they are past one hundred songs into this project, BJM is as strong and meaningful as ever. Even Ed Harcourt and Kurt Heasley (of The Lilys) sing lead vocals on this album, and pay tribute to the man. Anton promised people like Jason Pierce, Will Sergeant, and The Church, but they didn't show up. So in many ways this is a tribute album to the genius of this band's history, and looks forward without fear to the future. Matthew Tow sings the first slow song "Starcleaner" which starts out with the minimal sound of a drum machine and organ. "Here To Go" recalls some of the drugged out acoustic they have done. Some of the better songs are the Dandy Warhols sounding "When Jokers Attack" and "Prozac vs. Heroin" and especially "Geezers" which is the most blissed out song on the record. Maybe there's some chill out room music here. After a few throwaway tracks, we get to the great vocals of Ed Harcourt on "Here It Comes." Then there is the Church inspired "A New Low in Getting High." After listening to this I am not sure if Newcombe is God or the son of God. This record goes in twelve different directions at the same time. Most music is so narrow. This is the best BJM album in a long time.

...And this is a great record,
By Ray O'Keefe Cruitt (Baltimore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: And This Is Our Music (Audio CD)
It is really fascinating to see how emotive the reactions are to the Brian Jonestown Massacre. It seems there's rarely a rating betwixt the one and five star rating for the BJM. And, this applies to every one of their records. This is so very telling. . . Are the reviews about the recording itself or are they about band? That said, I'll accede to my own opinion; it's from the perspective of a devoted (but, not fundamentalist!) BJM fan ...And This Is Our Music is evidence of an ever maturing and expanding BJM. I think they are Bach. In other words, they are not imposters, but great Interpreters. The lyrical as well as the instrumental songs on this recording are great. There's a reflective quality inherent in this album or, possibly it just makes me reflective. At the same time, I'm not saying that every song on this album should be elected into the canon. But, as a whole, this record rocks! Anton has the rare talent of being able to express the paradoxical nature of this sad and beautiful world through his music. This record has both sad and beautiful moments, sometimes contained within the same song. If you hate the BJM and always have, as is evidenced by some of the so-called "music fans" who gratuitously offer up negative reviews of every BJM record, then it's obvious! you will hate this album. In other words, it's no different than having Winton Marsalis (a known hater of rock) review the newest Flying Saucer Attack record? We know what the content of that review would be. The Perpetual One Star!! in other words, not valid. As for all the rest - I think you'll find that And This Is Our Music has a lot to offer.

strong album from BJM,
By Kevin Polk (Boston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: And This Is Our Music (Audio CD)
I won't comment much about other reviews except to point out that BJM main man Anton Newcombe seems to relish provoking a response from people, good or bad, and he clearly succeeds in provoking some bad feedback. Be that as it may.This album is very strong. There are lots of great tunes including Geezers, Tschusse, When Jokers Attack, Prozac vs Heroin, and others. As with all BJM albums, Newcombe's songwriting is the story and he delivers the usual number of gems this time around. You can sample BJMs music here http://www.brianjonestownmassacre.com/mp3.php. Note that the songs from And this is Our Music that appear there were early versions that have evolved slightly for the final release. Make up your own minds! My mind says: essential.
