The Hold Steady, Hold Their Ground,
By A Customer
This review is from: Separation Sunday (Audio CD)
The Hold Steady have finally made their mark after coming out with their masterpiece first album. Every song is a pummeling mix between rock and roll and pop. The album is the strongest release of 2005 and will always be on the top of my lists. Song Highlights include "Your Little Hoodrat Friend" "Hornets, Hornets" which bring The Hold Steady to the forefront of the rock scene. If you are willing to expand your musical horizons you will find a masterpiece of rock and roll. The Hold Steady have done it again and will be my most anticipated band of 06/07.-Brilliant CD-

the hold steady - pitchforkmedia,
By
This review is from: Separation Sunday (Audio CD)
Second full-length from Minneapolis-based boozehounds the Hold Steady finds their beer-soaked party anthems honed to full bore. Ex-Lifter Puller vocalist Craig Finn comes into his own here as a lyricist, trading the name-games of this band's debut for a more personal tack, and as a sweat-drenched and drunk back-alley howler: His unhinged, marble-mouthed caterwaul might be a brief obstacle for the unprepared, but his hellbent bar band backup is a uniter (not a divider), rapturously commandeering every trick in the 70s FM fakebook with the proud passion and cocksure conviction that only comes with true devotion.

"I was seeing double for 3 straight days",
By Naive Pegasus "bobawedge" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Separation Sunday (Audio CD)
This is a highly original and suprisingly inventive (*gasp*) quasi-concept album that is full of brilliance. Once you get over the fact that the lead singer doesn't sing as much as speak the lyrics (which never bothered me- its a classic rock and roll voice, and the music is all about the rock instrumentals and the witty lyrics, anyway) you'll find one of the best albums of the year.The album basically follows Halleluiah, or Holly, who finds herself strung out, drugged out, and tries to become a born again christian. Most sentiments from any song will be seen again later in the album, and lyrically, it's brilliant. For example, in "Cattle and the Creeping Things" (one of the best songs on the album) lines include "silly rabbit, trippin' is for teenagers" while having the craziest, simply complex Bible interpretation with "I heard the one about original sin/ I heard the dude blamed the chick/ I heard the chick blamed the snake./ And I heard they were naked when they got busted/ I heard things a'int been the same since" Simply put- this is a good, catchy Rock album with a lot of meaning and humor behind it. This album is definately worth a look. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful

Poetry + Hard Rock from Minnesota (by way of NYC),
By Bart King - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Separation Sunday (Audio CD)
The songs on this impressive album reminded me of an unusual combination of Jonathan Richman, early Bruce Springsteen and the Replacements.The CD is especially noteworthy because of main man Craig Finn's thoughtful, funny, and sometimes even poignant lyrics. His motifs tend to be about Catholicism, drug use, and street angels, and are good enough to be read and enjoyed separately from the hard-hitting music. (Speaking of which, I especially appreciated the excellent arrangement of the backing hard rock as the backdrop to the intentionally clumsy phrasing of Finn's vocals.) This is good stuff; bracing and original. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful

Had Jim Carroll kicked Sprigsteen off the stage and ...,
By Chas - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Separation Sunday (Audio CD)
used the E. Street Band as backing band then you start to get the idea..Brooklyn Guitar Band pull off amazing rock opera / concept album in the vien of Born to Run but with a more Jim Carrol / Lou Reed grittier vision of life than Bruce's idealized take on street life. Whats amazing is the wall of blazing guitars slashing out power chords coupled with heavyweight punches thrown by the rythm section. Go find the free mp3s on their site, and realize that they are hitting it out of the Ball Park with *every* track. On my best-of-year list and would travel to see these guys. Would have gone to recent Philly gig but that was sold out. |
