Леньчик | 29.04.1999 14:21 | MV - мнения Взято из Tom Waits Mailing List AKA Raindogs Mailing List. Вот что говорят его обитатели про этот альбом: " It's strange how he's suddenly flavour of the month, and I don't want to be the one who starts the backlash but...Seems like Tom ought to get out and about a bit more (perhaps a European tour of club venues". "For some reason one always expects the latest album to be the best...But eh I know I shouldn't say this but eh I think it's a bit tame(d). It's more of the same It's a great album, won't be listening to anything else until autumn. But eh, keep thinking of these words " finely tuned"". " ...that these songs don't break any new ground, and don't even seem to try to. I'm more than a little bit frustrated by that, to be honest, and it makes me wonder what the man's been up to for so long (other than being a good daddy, which is fine)...He continues to write about the same things over and over again". " But I think, after many listenings, that there is more depth here than apparent and the album will be worth listening to time and time and time and time again... Christmas morning and all the presents is never quite as good as the expectations of the child, after the newness of the toys wears off". " I'd like to see some groundbreaking as well, but let's face it, almost every album since 1982 (?) has been groundbreaking in one way or another, except the best-of that came out recently. Who knows if he'll be braking ground in the future?... It's got to be hard to have set up the expectations he has and try to live up to them". " Although many of the songs share a striking family resemblance to another song on another album, I do believe that Tom spirals the staircase on Mule Variations to reach new content --> mainly the theme of HOME... and even though substantial similarity exists to previous work, he's viewing life from an elevated perspective". " Agree Tom doesn't break any new ground on MV except for the fact that it's the same ground that he already broke.." Цитаты подбирал не я, а Peter Artmans [phnl@HOTMAIL.COM] |
