Oh Dear Tick,
By
This review is from: Divine Providence (Audio CD)
I absolutely love Deer Tick, I have seen them a number of times, and have all of their first three albums, 'Born on Flag Day' being my favourite. However, this really is a move in a direction that bigs up the things that take away from their music rather than adds to it, but all is not lost as there are still some great tunes here and some heartfelt moments, even if they are alcohol soddenFirst track 'The Bump' seems to be a statement of intent extolling the virtues of acting like a child, but the music is totally derivative, with the only saving grace being a honky tonk piano riff. 'Funny Word' takes us no further but the playing is tight, with some riffs that any garage band would die for. 'Let's all go to the bar', is so bad I have deleted it from my MP3, it just repeats the title as a refrain after every single line. I am sure the joke will wear off after playing it live a few dozen times. Track 4 takes us to a les rock area, with McCauley taking a break from the lead mic. 'Main Street' is more of what you would expect, great melody, lyrics and delivery, with an homage to sixties drum progression. Then we get 'Something To Brag about' and if this ode to the pleasures of wine and Chuck Berry riffs is all there is, then bragging should be the last thing on their mind. 'Walkin out the door' actually could fit on a 'My Morning Jacket' album, and ain't half bad. 'Now it's your turn' is possibly my favourite, laid back yet earnest and some great lyrics, 'Electric' could fit on any of their previous offerings and I hope I will get to see them do it live, as I am sure it will be a show stopper. The last track is 'Miss K', and is a simple modern love song, with an Americana twist. Well I say it is the last of twelve songs, but no it is not. There is a run off track after about half an hour, that instead of lauding the virtues of booze, decides to champion cigarettes, well done boys, and is actually quite good. This was clearly done in one take as a bit of a laugh and is a nice addition. This then is a mixed bag of offerings, and some are great and others are much less than that, hence the rating, but if you are a fan there will be something here for you to keep you interested.

Not so good,
By Bad Dude - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I loved the past albums from Deer Tick, but I am not a fan of this album. I understand it is a "party album", but they need to do less drinking and more solid time recording. I was anxiously waiting for the release of this album only to be kicked in the sack.

SIMPLY AWFUL,
By R. Watson "Music Lover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Divine Providence (Audio CD)
I very much liked all 3 of the bands previous releases, but this album is very sophomoric and is pretty much unlistenable.I really, really hope they get back on the right track with their next effort.
