dark, yes. too dark? i think not..,
By kedamono (seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dead Inside (Audio CD)
i bought this cd after reading the lyrics to "holy" and having them stuck in my head for weeks. the album was a million times better than i'd imagined, especially after reading reviews that claimed it was "too dark" and you "wouldnt want to listen to it more than once". i completely disagree - and to those who say it isn't catchy - i think it is! i am always running around with lines in my head... it may not be melodic, but it is rhythmic and driving and intense. my best friend was murdered, and "victim" is very difficult for me to listen to, but "holy" is worth the price of the album, "ride" is genius, and "metal eye" is entrancing.. everything on this disc is art.

Golden showers of praise!,
By Full Badger (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dead Inside (Audio CD)
This slab of GPs is very different from PURE, but equally as good. What's good about this album (for me) is it's ability to make you set the words and music to an imaginery film that gets projected from your innermost self across the back of your eyelids. Something Kubrick-esque? Same ballpark ... depends on you imagination. You'll really like it if you get on with Recoil (who Blackman has also worked with) - the same raw story telling over a meticulously crafted soundtrack. Broken loops, luscious pads, fragments of narrative and foley. This album is a selfish affair - by that I mean you need to listen to it alone - a great album for the personal stereo or long journey. You almost want to keep this album a secret. Wish that only you were privy to it's content, but it won't be long before you can't help but want to share it with your friends. They'll love it too.

A Little TOO Dark For My Taste....,
By
This review is from: Dead Inside (Audio CD)
After the phenomenal, sultry masterpiece that is "Pure," Golden Palominos drummer/mastermind Anton Fier said bye-bye to singer Lori Carson, and hello to spoken-word artist Nicole Blackman. The resulting album, 1996's "Dead Inside," is a cold, creepy, disturbing blend of Blackman's poetry & verse with Fier's "sound collage" accompanyment. It's a brave 180-degree turn from the Palominos' previous albums, and it certainly starts off promisingly enough with the opening track, "Victim," Blackman's chilling tale of a shooting victim's thoughts just before her life is ended. But the album ultimately gets pulled down by it's own dark weight, as the pitch-blackness of it all becomes really off-putting after a while. Albums like Pink Floyd's "The Wall" & Peter Gabriel's "UP" are also very dark, but at least they're still very TUNEFUL. But "Dead Inside"....would you really, truly want to listen to this ice-cold album more than once? That's very difficult to say.The Golden Palominos are/were known for the different musical directions they would take from album to album, from line-up to line-up (Fier was the only constant member). "Dead Inside" was obviously meant to be yet another musical avenue for the group to travel down, but it just doesn't work. The Golden Palominos have not been heard from again since the release of "Dead Inside," some recent "Best Of" compilations notwithstanding. I'd hate for this album to be the Palominos' final musical statement, as Fier & company have made MUCH better, warmer, friendlier-sounding albums than this one, such as "Pure," "This Is How It Feels," and "A Dead Horse." I'd like to think that they can definitely do it again. Please come back, Anton Fier, wherever you are.
