Product Description
Amazon.com
When Sam Roberts released his heavily-acclaimed full-length debut We Were Born In A Flame in 2003, the Montreal rocker received high praise from fans and journalists alike; his second CD Chemical City, however, was considerably more psychedelic and garnered less adoration from the masses. Five years after his debut, this third disc Love At The End Of The World appears to have achieved a solid balance between radio-friendly rock and rootsy jams, and is more than capable of pleasing both palates. For the most part, ‘Born’s commentary is divided into two topics: love and politics. Lyrically, Roberts is subtle and sharp throughout; his first single “Them Kids” is done in a sing/talk style that evokes the spirit of Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues” and reflects on music’s past and future; overtop of an up-tempo melody, Roberts’ emotes “the kids don’t know how to dance to rock and roll.” “The Pilgrim” is another standout, including a musical invocation to world leaders that asserts “I hope it’s clear as crystal/That the man with the pistol/Is calling all the shots these days.” There are trademark Roberts instrumental rock-outs throughout as well; noteworthy points in that regard include the folksy “Words & Fire” -- featuring fellow Montreal singer Angela Desveaux -- which has the languidness and warmth of a backstage-at-Woodstock jam, and disc closer “Detroit ’67,” a track that resonates with bluesy piano and old school rock ‘n roll sing-song style. --Denise Sheppard
