Product Description
Japanese-only taster with seven of the rare or unreleasedtracks included on his 1998 six CD Blue Note box set.Contains alternate takes of 'Riot' (two versions), 'Blind Man, Blind Man', 'Mimosa', 'Goodbye To Childhood', 'The Prisoner' and 'Firewater'. Standard jewel case. 1999 release.
Its not that i dont like the cd, but everytime i hear a song from the Riot cd (Misery Business, Born For This and Fences) it reminds me of a better song on the AWKIF cd.. this irritates me a little bit and im a little disappointed that their style have changed so little.
Of course i think that a band should stick to whats working for them at most points and the guitar play is also very paramore recognisable.
but unfortunately i feel that this cd is just a slower and poorer version of All We Know Is Falling.
At the end of the day this is good music for teens who THINK that they're rockers (fans of the Academy Is, Cute Is What We Aim For, etc) but are actually good pop kids. Skip this if you listen to real music.
The only complaints I have about Riot! are:
a.) "We Are Broken". It's a good song, you get attached after awhile, but it's a bit sappy and isn't at Riot!s best.
b.) Riot! sounds more like a follower, not a leader.
Overall: If you were a fan of Paramore before there's a very good chance you'll love this album. New fans'll also love it. Buy Riot! you won't be dissapointed.

The boys want to marry her, & the girls want to be her. Hayley Williams, and the darlings from Franklin, Tennessee are back with one of the most anticipated releases of the year, "Riot!".
These guys popped out of nowhere in 2005 to give the world a top notched produced record with "All We Know Is Falling", it sparked an ongoing debate if this band was a product of a major corporation as band. Though the band has denied the claims, it was unoften you see such a young band to come out of no where to release a near perfect release was far too perfect. I don't think anyone in the band was legal; their drummer was 14! Ever since then, they have kept growing. I loved their first record, and really was looking forward to this record, but i still havent gotten a final verdict on this record.
The growth of the band is present. The record starts off with the heart pounding "For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic". The guitars are at the best the band has ever been. Vocally, Hayley is stunning on the amazing, "Hallelujah", and "Let The Flames Begin". Her vocals remain solid all the way through. Lyrically, one of the most "heart on sleeve" record's i've ever heard. Hayley obviously has been doing a lot of searching and questioning in her life, and it comes through in the songs. It's common knowledge that the band are Christians, and she sings it on her sleeve. But unlike other bands that do so, they appoarch it in a manner i think the only word to decribe is it, real. She doesn't candy coat it, and talks about a lot of emotions and situations many people go through; Christian or not.
I do like the record, but i honestly feel they played it somewhat safely. The album started off very strong, but it got a weak as the album went on; almost a generic, formulae type. I was looking for a little more rawness, and the guys to have more vocal parts.
The record is catchy; too catchy to not like and i have a feeling it will eventually grow
When I speak of claustrophobia, I mean it as a production vaue, and it's something evident throughout the record. There's a density to the record, even on the looser and less arranged pieces, that really sets the tone for the album. And while not all the album's songs have a message to match this claustrophobia, it does have a tendency to make even the optimistic material sound like you're trying to remember a dream after you've woken up. Take single "Family Affair"-- it's loose, based around a gentle pop vocal hook and is presented with a smooth baritone lead, but it sounds like "Stand!" dragged through the mud. It works out fantastically. All of this is accentuated by the tendency to move towards funk vamps for everything-- sometiems as much as seven minutes of the same riff feeds into this feeling of density.
But really, it's dark funk that dominates the record throughout-- wah wah guitars, dirty basslines, snapping horns, and Sly Stone vocalizing and singing all over the map, fierce and at times nearly out of control-- opener "Luv N' Haight" and Brave & Strong" are two fine examples of this. Along the way, he manages occasional moments of delicate beauty with a hint of melancholy that keeps the album from being a bit too bleak ("Poet", "(You Caught me) Smilin'") and closes things up with a recasting of "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" as a slice of slow funk that somehow manages to be as intriguing as the original.
This reissue remasters the record, appends a handful of bonus tracks (a single mix of "Runnin' Away" and three instrumentals leftover from the sessions) and includes a nice liner notes essay. The remastering alone makes this a worthwhile pickup, all the dark beauty of the record really comes forth and the feeling of the record is, if anything accentuated by it.
Truthfully, "There's a Riot Goin' On" may not be for everyone, it's a pretty dark record, but it's also the kind of thing that can really reinvent someone's opinion of Sly & the Family Stone (it certainly reinvented mine). It also serves nicely as a companion to "Stand!", they are very much opposite sides of the same music. I give a slight edge to "There's a Riot Goin' On" as Sly Stone's masterwork. This is essential listening.
Many people regard Courtney Love as someone that is a bad role model and many call her a gold-digger and no, she did not murder her late husband Kurt Cobain as many would suggest. Aside from the consipracy theories and her frequent bad image care of the media, I regard Courtney as a very talented rock musician. A talented writer and a superb vocalist.
All of the latterly mentioned factors are factors that contribute to this album being so enjoyable. Courtney's vocals are very harsh, yet can still carry a good melody, also her vocals drew me in far more than Kurt's vocals ever did.
From first listen this album was amazing, clear standouts are "Violet", "Doll Parts", "Asking For It" and "Miss World". However, all the songs are on equal par with each other.
Overall, Hole are in a way the perfect band. They have a superb lead guitarist in Eric Erlandson whose riff carrying is superb, Courtney Love whose vocals are enchanting and pure rock, Patty Schemel who reminds me of a female Dave Grohl and finally Kristen Pfaff who sadly died shortly after this album was released, she was a brilliant bass player and superb back up vocalist.
Don't let Courtney's public perception deter you from indulging in this album, because once you do, you will be a Hole convert. This is easily one of the best albums I have ever heard in my lifetime.
Hmm... I'm not a Nirvana fan, as many Hole fans (and even more Hole haters) seem to be, although I should have been. My great generation-defining moment: I was 16, it was near the end of Grade 11, I was chatting with some friends (a very angsty "chat") while cutting class and smoking in a school stairwell, and some overexcited guy we didn't know came running down the stairs and shouted at us, "They're playing 'THAT SONG' in the gym and EVERYBODY's dancing to it!!!!!! Come on - YOU HAVE TO COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" And from where we were we could hear it now that we listened - it was "Smells Like Teen Spirit." If I'd heard the song before I hadn't paid attention to it. Anyway, this should have been a moment of all different cliques coming together and merging as one to the joyous angst of an era-defining song. But while my two friends 'into it - it can't be good," and stayed where I was. Um, alone. As the punchline, a few days later one of these friends (now an ex-friend) showed up at school in full grunge regalia - plaid shirt, jeans, army boots, no makeup. She looked horrible. There you go, my two reasons for not becoming a Nirvana fan: everybody liked them; and the style was horrible. (On the other hand, I loved Courtney's kinderwhore look - which was close to how I was dressing at the time anyway. Yes, that's right - Courtney stole her look from ME!)
I got to know 'Nevermind' (or was it 'In Utero'?) from hearing my younger sister play it over and over. This was a very baffling experience. I thought the music sounded good (nothing that would explain the hysteria though), but my sister had never displayed any interest in anything dark or "alternative" in her life - that was my area. Nirvana was simply the trendiest thing in the world for those years and I didn't want anything to do with it. Nope, I wasn't strong-minded enough to make it "about the music."
Although maybe I would have if Nirvana had been Hole. Although I occasionally noticed and was always intrigued by Courtney (videos, or interviews - where she said she'd read Camille Paglia's masterwork "Sexual Personae," which I'd also just read - and I have no trouble believing that Courtney has a genius IQ), and when I was briefly married my husband actually recommended "Live Through This" to me, for some reason I waited until I was 23 to check it out. It immediately shot into my all-time Top 10. Now I'm 31, and it sounds as good as ever, and the experience of listening to it just gets richer - now I respond more to the pain than to the rage, although don't get me wrong, I still love the rage.
Basically I would just endorse the most enthusiastic comments made by the other reviewers. Yes, the songs are great - pop/punk/rock/folk with just enough twists to them. Yes, the lyrics and Love's vocals are even better. And although it's a masterpiece no matter who you are, if you're a woman these lyrics will speak to you even more. Nobody gets it as right as Courtney - nobody. (Only a handful of Kate Bush lyrics come close.)
I'm on a big Hole and Courtney kick right now. In fact I'm so into Courtney, I might actually finally overcome my prejudice and get into Nirvana...
"Riot on an empty street" is their sophomore disc and is simply brilliant! With beautiful delicate guitar strumming pushed to the fore, and subtle piano, banjo and string fluorishes, opening cut "Homesick" and the delicate "Cayman islands" represent this fully.
"Misread" is a lilting piano sprinkled jazzy piece which is simply awesome!
As pared down as the general sound is, there is (subtle) variety: "Stay out of trouble" is a horn sprinkled waltz, "Know how" (lovely scratchy guitars) is a Bossa nova styled piece featuring Canadian folkstress Feist harmonising midway through (she appears again on the more mellow "The build up"), while "Sorry or please" (nice jazzy piano and bass, sweeping strings, great horn break) is one of those rare songs (on this disc) featuring audible percussion.
"I'd rather dance with you" is more upbeat, and reminds me of UK singer Chris Rea. "Surprise ice" is a tender spare acoustic ballad with ethereal harmonies in the chorus.
Perfect!!! 6 stars out of 5.
the disk grows better and more nuanced with each listen. the lyrics are outstanding throughout. in this genre of music, it is really difficult to find a better disk (though 'quiet is the new loud' is in the running)
But, it was lacking a little. "Mister White Keys", "When I Change Your Mind", and "Come Back to Me" were't the greatest tracks I've heard. I didn't care for them.
It could have also been a little longer. I would have liked to have seen "Irish Whiskey", "Suicide Kings", and "We'll Always Have Paris" on there. =)
To me, it just doesn't qualify as a Greatest Hits album for this. It's good, but not for a Greatest Hits album.
Now, I can't help but admit that I've dug the Stray Cats since day one -you might even say that they were an early, unseen hand nudging me towards this retro rockin' lifestyle. "Rockabilly Riot! Volume One: A Tribute To SUN Records" brings Brian full circle back to those early inspirations as he headed back to the hills -the Tennessee hills actually, to record a heartfelt, sparse and authentic paean to those artists and the songs of Sam Phillips little/big studio on Union Avenue in Memphis. Using just piano, sax and acoustic guitar (when necessary) to augment the traditional "SUN" rockabilly sound (electric guitar, standup bass and simple drums), Brian has not only created a near perfect rockabilly primer, but also a heartfelt testament to the quality and timeless brilliance of SUN Records. His commitment to the album's concept was even carried over to the equipment used: strictly vintage mics and reverb/echo created by an old 1800's era water cistern found behind the house! This is a superb record that you wouldn't mind handing to a stranger or friend who wants to know what all this "rockabilly" fuss was about.
Generous quantity of material here -23 tracks! Great selection of straightforward standards and brilliant obscure-o-billy nuggets: you can't have a SUN tribute without BILL RILEY'S "Red Hot" & "Flying Saucer Rock And Roll," CARL PERKINS "Blue Suede Shoes" or JOHNNY CASH's "Get Rhythm." But what makes this album really rev right are all the rarely heard numbers like ROY ORBISON's "Rockhouse," "JACK EARL's "Slow Down," JERRY LEE LEWIS's "Real Wild Child," DEAN BEARD's "Rakin' And Scrapin'"," KENNY PARCHMAN's unissued "Get It Off Your Mind," and TOMMY BLAKE's "Flatfoot Sam" -all performed with wild abandon and informed flair by some of the best musicians in Nashville.
STAND-OUT HOT ROD TUNE: Dig the rowdy rollin' and rockin' "Peroxide Blonde In A Hopped Up Model Ford," unissued '57 track by SUN alum "Jumpin'" GENE SIMMONS. One of the coolest hot rod tracks ever, finally completed & committed to tape with a powerful `jived up' overhaul. That's Mr. Simmons himself on backup vocals and heard muttering at the end: "Think about it, killer!"
"Rockabilly Riot!" has lots of comfortable SUN covers, but also plenty of powerful surprises hidden deep under the hood. This is the album we all knew that Mr. Setzer could make if he ever got back to his roots. Now let's see if he leaves them Hollywood hills to tour in support of this rockabilly gem...!
-Del Villarreal, MOTORBILLY RADIO, del@motorbilly.com
**WARNING: This CD might make you search out and collect many obscure and unheard of artists in the Amazon Archives! May be hazardous to your financial health.**
I did not heed the warning and am happily collecting artists I'd never heard of.
It's not until well after you've graduated do you really appreciate the experience.
Riot seems a lot like that to me. The high level of detail in recreating some popular tunes of the 50's sounds initially interesting, but my first impression was one of disappointment. I was hoping Brian would kick it up a notch, add a little Ignition style fire into the recordings, but Mr. Setzer, like a school teacher had a certain agenda and he stuck with it. "That kind of style didn't exist in that erra," he would lecture the class.
I stick to my guns and really, really want Brian to make another over the top guitar record like Ignition, but at the same time, I have learned to appreciate this record for what it is. It is honestly a record that is unlike anything else in my collection.
I will probably begin to appreciate this record more as I grow older. For now, I never get tired of Brian's over the top mixture of jazz/blues/country/swing that has me dropping my jaw. I'm not interested in a tamer scaled down version...just yet. Maybe I will later.
So, whenever I feel like enrolling in Rockabilly school, I just pop this disc in.
The album captures the energy and emotion of the Sun Records rockabilly classics, stays true to it, but improves on it with updated recording technology. The paradox is that the recordings are so clean, they lack a bit of the rawness of the 50's recordings.
Being a collection of covers, it has built-in limitations. When trying to pull something like this off, the artist is trapped between trying to bring something fresh to the material without straying too far from what made the songs great in the first place. Inject too much of yourself into someone else's song, and you're accused of heresy, betrayal. Introduce nothing new to the songs, and you're panned as boring and unoriginal. Setzer avoided the horns of that dilemma by revitalizing without ruining these classic songs.
Fans of the original Sun Records artists should be glad that the material is being re-introduced to the public in a very reverential way. Setzer fans should be pleased by the fire in his playing and singing. The songs are a lot of fun. Listening to this album reminded me of why early rock n' roll was so stirring, inspiring, energizing to that first generation of fans - something 50 years later we tend to take for granted.
Brian gathers a nice selection of rockabilly standards and covers them wonderfully. The Jordanaires join him on several songs, which really add to them. There isn't a song on here I don't like. I sense that Brian would have been perfectly content to have been around when rockabilly was being born.
THE DISC: (1983) Originally 10 songs clocking in at approximately 41 minutes, this remastered version gives you 2 bonus tracks and almost 52 minutes worth. The bonus tracks: "Danger Zone" (unreleased studio cut), and a live version of "Slick Black Cadillac". Included with the disc is a 10-page booklet containing song titles/credits/times, original artwork and additional black & white photos, a brief 3-page intro, and thank you's. Recorded at The Pasha Music House in Hollywood, CA. Originally released on Pasha's label, this digitally remastered version is on Sony/Portrait/Epic.
COMMENTS: Disco was officially out a few years prior. New Wave was popular. Hard rock was coming back in. To many, American metal was still a question mark in the early 80's. The British/European invasion of heavy metal was in full force (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and the Scorpions to name a few big acts). In 1983 though, bigger albums than Def Leppard's "Pyromania", Motley Crue's "Shout At The Devil", or Iron Maiden's "Piece Of Mind"... was Quiet Riot's "Metal Health". 6+ million units sold and growing. As quickly as "Metal Health" rose (the first metal record to hit #1 on the Billboard album charts), the band fell from grace. DuBrow's antics were fairly well documented (difficult to get along with)... with other bands as well as his own. "Metal Health" was a solid album, and it's still a classic... but, it hasn't stood the test of time as well as any of the other albums mentioned above. For me, Quiet Riot was the definition of "pop" hair metal. "Metal Health" created the standard formula that all successful pop/hair metal bands seemed to follow... 1. Some aggressive hard rocking songs (""Breathless", "Run For Cover", "Love's A Bitch"); a couple of hits ("Metal Health", "Cum On Feel The Noise"), and a power ballad ("Thunderbird"). Quiet Riot's cover version of Slade's "Cum On Feel The Noise" hit #20 on the Billboard charts (#5 on the pop charts), as the title track hit #31. "Slick Black Cadillac" had minor success on the radio as well. Cavazo's "Battle Axe" is a short guitar solo - in the same vein as Eddie Van Halen's "Eruption". A brief history of the players is documented in the disc booklet - Quiet Riot being formed by guitar-god Randy Rhoads and singer DuBrow in the mid 1970's without much success; Rhoads and bassist Sarzo leaving QR to play with now solo Ozzy; Rhoads killed in a plane crash; Sarzo returns with Banali joining on drums and Cavazo on lead guitar. Some truly great songs here - my favorites are the title track, "Don't Want To Let You Go", and "Breathless". The ballad "Thunderbird" (though an ode to Rhoads) is musically weak. The bonus tracks - "Danger Zone" fits right in with the rest of the album (good stuff), but the live "Slick Black Cadillac" is absolutely horrible (sounds like an out-of-breath high school band doing a cover tune). The potential was there to continue (and more albums being released), but Quiet Riot never again achieved the success it had in '83. "Metal Health" is a classic in the "pop" arena of metal (4.5 stars).

Album Description
After gaining hordes of enthusiastic fans worldwide with their debut All We Know Is Falling, Paramore is poised to breakthrough to new heights with their newest offering Riot! Their sophomore record, produced by David Bendeth (Hawthorne Heights, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus) is due in stores everywhere June 12th. Lead single Misery Business, in addition to other album tracks, deals with issues of shame and self-discovery as lead-singer Hayley Williams discusses. I've been ashamed, she says. I've felt hate, jealously, lust, fear, pride, self-consciousness... You hear a lot of this on the record. I feel like I need to talk about it. It is not uncommon for Paramore to expose their emotions and allow fans to have such an intimate look into their lives. While recording the track Born For This, the band invited a handful of fans into the studio to sing back-up vocals on the song. Fans have responded by voting Paramore as the #1 Best New Band in Kerrang! magazine, beating out Panic! at the Disco among others, and Alternative Press magazine has named Riot! as one of their most anticipated releases of 2007. Brothers Josh and Zac Farro (on guitar and drums respectively), as well as Jeremy Davis (on bass), round out the enthusiastic Franklin, TN based quartet. This year finds the band bringing their energetic live show to fans in cities worldwide. This spring the band will embark on a 20+ date sold-out headlining club tour, including the now-legendary Bamboozle festival. Following a stint on the European club circuit, the band will return to the States this summer with a coveted main stage slot on the Vans Warped Tour.Customer Reviews:

The hazy hints of dystopia from Sly and the Family Stone's fabulously successful 1969 hit album Stand! turned full-force on its follow-up, There's a Riot Goin' On. By 1971, Sly had his Hollywood mansion and legions of droppers-by laying down parts of Riot, many of them later overdubbed by Sly himself. The resulting album is entrancing, backed often by an austere, early drum machine and featuring dope-glazed vocals, paranoid shadows and, of course, a stewing funk groove. Horns are here, thinned out so they jab harder, and the keyboards gleam and shimmer and icily coat the beats, which sound in today's parlance simply lo-fi. And the beats, they've slowed menacingly, with voices dropping in, dropping out. Drugs were flowing freely by this point, complicating Sly's sound, inadvertently making an album that indelibly matches its maker's psyche-in-time. --Andrew BartlettCustomer Reviews:
Sly Stone's dark masterpiece........2007-05-16
When I speak of claustrophobia, I mean it as a production vaue, and it's something evident throughout the record. There's a density to the record, even on the looser and less arranged pieces, that really sets the tone for the album. And while not all the album's songs have a message to match this claustrophobia, it does have a tendency to make even the optimistic material sound like you're trying to remember a dream after you've woken up. Take single "Family Affair"-- it's loose, based around a gentle pop vocal hook and is presented with a smooth baritone lead, but it sounds like "Stand!" dragged through the mud. It works out fantastically. All of this is accentuated by the tendency to move towards funk vamps for everything-- sometiems as much as seven minutes of the same riff feeds into this feeling of density.
But really, it's dark funk that dominates the record throughout-- wah wah guitars, dirty basslines, snapping horns, and Sly Stone vocalizing and singing all over the map, fierce and at times nearly out of control-- opener "Luv N' Haight" and Brave & Strong" are two fine examples of this. Along the way, he manages occasional moments of delicate beauty with a hint of melancholy that keeps the album from being a bit too bleak ("Poet", "(You Caught me) Smilin'") and closes things up with a recasting of "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" as a slice of slow funk that somehow manages to be as intriguing as the original.
This reissue remasters the record, appends a handful of bonus tracks (a single mix of "Runnin' Away" and three instrumentals leftover from the sessions) and includes a nice liner notes essay. The remastering alone makes this a worthwhile pickup, all the dark beauty of the record really comes forth and the feeling of the record is, if anything accentuated by it.
Truthfully, "There's a Riot Goin' On" may not be for everyone, it's a pretty dark record, but it's also the kind of thing that can really reinvent someone's opinion of Sly & the Family Stone (it certainly reinvented mine). It also serves nicely as a companion to "Stand!", they are very much opposite sides of the same music. I give a slight edge to "There's a Riot Goin' On" as Sly Stone's masterwork. This is essential listening.

This whole album is filled with scathing fury, mostly directed at the impossible situation that confronts women when they are asked to be both wild sources of pleasure and unblemished mother figures. Live Through This uses the same recipe of punk and metal wrapped around pop melodies that made Nirvana so captivating, but Hole uses the methodology in a more conventional manner. The metal ingredient tends to dominate, perhaps because it's the simplest to master, and too often the album resembles early Heart or late Joan Jett--particularly when Courtney Love opens up with her big, wailing voice. Love externalizes her anger, blaming all her problems on the rest of the world. Self-confrontation makes for far more interesting songs. --Geoffrey HimesCustomer Reviews:

The Perfect Combination..........2006-12-02
Many people regard Courtney Love as someone that is a bad role model and many call her a gold-digger and no, she did not murder her late husband Kurt Cobain as many would suggest. Aside from the consipracy theories and her frequent bad image care of the media, I regard Courtney as a very talented rock musician. A talented writer and a superb vocalist.
All of the latterly mentioned factors are factors that contribute to this album being so enjoyable. Courtney's vocals are very harsh, yet can still carry a good melody, also her vocals drew me in far more than Kurt's vocals ever did.
From first listen this album was amazing, clear standouts are "Violet", "Doll Parts", "Asking For It" and "Miss World". However, all the songs are on equal par with each other.
Overall, Hole are in a way the perfect band. They have a superb lead guitarist in Eric Erlandson whose riff carrying is superb, Courtney Love whose vocals are enchanting and pure rock, Patty Schemel who reminds me of a female Dave Grohl and finally Kristen Pfaff who sadly died shortly after this album was released, she was a brilliant bass player and superb back up vocalist.
Don't let Courtney's public perception deter you from indulging in this album, because once you do, you will be a Hole convert. This is easily one of the best albums I have ever heard in my lifetime.
Hello Amazon, Your Editorial Review is Embarrassing.......2006-11-22
Hmm... I'm not a Nirvana fan, as many Hole fans (and even more Hole haters) seem to be, although I should have been. My great generation-defining moment: I was 16, it was near the end of Grade 11, I was chatting with some friends (a very angsty "chat") while cutting class and smoking in a school stairwell, and some overexcited guy we didn't know came running down the stairs and shouted at us, "They're playing 'THAT SONG' in the gym and EVERYBODY's dancing to it!!!!!! Come on - YOU HAVE TO COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" And from where we were we could hear it now that we listened - it was "Smells Like Teen Spirit." If I'd heard the song before I hadn't paid attention to it. Anyway, this should have been a moment of all different cliques coming together and merging as one to the joyous angst of an era-defining song. But while my two friends 'into it - it can't be good," and stayed where I was. Um, alone. As the punchline, a few days later one of these friends (now an ex-friend) showed up at school in full grunge regalia - plaid shirt, jeans, army boots, no makeup. She looked horrible. There you go, my two reasons for not becoming a Nirvana fan: everybody liked them; and the style was horrible. (On the other hand, I loved Courtney's kinderwhore look - which was close to how I was dressing at the time anyway. Yes, that's right - Courtney stole her look from ME!)
I got to know 'Nevermind' (or was it 'In Utero'?) from hearing my younger sister play it over and over. This was a very baffling experience. I thought the music sounded good (nothing that would explain the hysteria though), but my sister had never displayed any interest in anything dark or "alternative" in her life - that was my area. Nirvana was simply the trendiest thing in the world for those years and I didn't want anything to do with it. Nope, I wasn't strong-minded enough to make it "about the music."
Although maybe I would have if Nirvana had been Hole. Although I occasionally noticed and was always intrigued by Courtney (videos, or interviews - where she said she'd read Camille Paglia's masterwork "Sexual Personae," which I'd also just read - and I have no trouble believing that Courtney has a genius IQ), and when I was briefly married my husband actually recommended "Live Through This" to me, for some reason I waited until I was 23 to check it out. It immediately shot into my all-time Top 10. Now I'm 31, and it sounds as good as ever, and the experience of listening to it just gets richer - now I respond more to the pain than to the rage, although don't get me wrong, I still love the rage.
Basically I would just endorse the most enthusiastic comments made by the other reviewers. Yes, the songs are great - pop/punk/rock/folk with just enough twists to them. Yes, the lyrics and Love's vocals are even better. And although it's a masterpiece no matter who you are, if you're a woman these lyrics will speak to you even more. Nobody gets it as right as Courtney - nobody. (Only a handful of Kate Bush lyrics come close.)
I'm on a big Hole and Courtney kick right now. In fact I'm so into Courtney, I might actually finally overcome my prejudice and get into Nirvana...

Album Description
Their second album, 'Riot On An Empty Street' picks up where 'Quiet Is The New Loud' left off. Recorded over the last six months in Bergen, with periodic visits from ex-patriot Erlend - Riot contains more complex arrangements tWith You', 'Know How,' 'Love Is No Big Truth' or first single 'Misread', every track sounds like an old friend coming home to you."It's quite style schizophrenic," adds Eirik "We're each inspired by different things so it can be a little confusing, but that seems to be a modern phenomenon, people don't know what genre to put themselves in."
"I'm looking forward to everyone saying it's not as good as the first album," laughs Erlend, "It's funny because two of the songs are from 1998, so it's us, covering us from five years ago," he adds.
The Kings were joined in the studio by hotly tipped Canadian songstress Feist, who appears on two of the albums twelve tracks, the bossa-fuelled 'Know How' where she assists Eirik, and the album's closing track 'The Build Up'- where she duets with Erlend in what is one of the Kings' most stark and beautifully emotive tracks, a rare moment captured in time. Both were big fans of her much-fabled "Red Demos" and she melds perfectly amidst them, bringing an air of added suspense and emotion and of course her majestic voice. "Her voice is amazing", gushes Erlend, "I'm very proud of the 'Build Up', for the first time ever we managed to do something spontaneous, Feist wrote the words an hour before she sung them, and it doesn't sound like anything else we've ever done."
So there you have it. Kings Of Convenience - 2004. A therapist and a superstar singing DJ, an odd couple, but still the best (old) new acoustic band in the world. 'Riot On An Empty Street,' forms their very own republic of two, principality of Eirik and Erlend. A great place to visit again and again.
Customer Reviews:
6 stars out of 5!!.......2007-06-19
"Riot on an empty street" is their sophomore disc and is simply brilliant! With beautiful delicate guitar strumming pushed to the fore, and subtle piano, banjo and string fluorishes, opening cut "Homesick" and the delicate "Cayman islands" represent this fully.
"Misread" is a lilting piano sprinkled jazzy piece which is simply awesome!
As pared down as the general sound is, there is (subtle) variety: "Stay out of trouble" is a horn sprinkled waltz, "Know how" (lovely scratchy guitars) is a Bossa nova styled piece featuring Canadian folkstress Feist harmonising midway through (she appears again on the more mellow "The build up"), while "Sorry or please" (nice jazzy piano and bass, sweeping strings, great horn break) is one of those rare songs (on this disc) featuring audible percussion.
"I'd rather dance with you" is more upbeat, and reminds me of UK singer Chris Rea. "Surprise ice" is a tender spare acoustic ballad with ethereal harmonies in the chorus.
Perfect!!! 6 stars out of 5.

the disk grows better and more nuanced with each listen. the lyrics are outstanding throughout. in this genre of music, it is really difficult to find a better disk (though 'quiet is the new loud' is in the running)

But, it was lacking a little. "Mister White Keys", "When I Change Your Mind", and "Come Back to Me" were't the greatest tracks I've heard. I didn't care for them.
It could have also been a little longer. I would have liked to have seen "Irish Whiskey", "Suicide Kings", and "We'll Always Have Paris" on there. =)
To me, it just doesn't qualify as a Greatest Hits album for this. It's good, but not for a Greatest Hits album.

Album Description
This is the first of a multi-volume series where Brian will pay tribute to the music that influenced him, and in turn, made him one of the most influential musical figures of the last 25 years. Here are 23 amazing rockabilly songs (some hits, some obscure gems) that helped define an era. Setzer is determined to do whatever it takes to reach as many people as possible so they too can discover the music that has gone underappreciated for too long.Customer Reviews:
"Suprisingly Authentic Record From Neo-Billy Kingpin Setzer!".......2007-06-18
Now, I can't help but admit that I've dug the Stray Cats since day one -you might even say that they were an early, unseen hand nudging me towards this retro rockin' lifestyle. "Rockabilly Riot! Volume One: A Tribute To SUN Records" brings Brian full circle back to those early inspirations as he headed back to the hills -the Tennessee hills actually, to record a heartfelt, sparse and authentic paean to those artists and the songs of Sam Phillips little/big studio on Union Avenue in Memphis. Using just piano, sax and acoustic guitar (when necessary) to augment the traditional "SUN" rockabilly sound (electric guitar, standup bass and simple drums), Brian has not only created a near perfect rockabilly primer, but also a heartfelt testament to the quality and timeless brilliance of SUN Records. His commitment to the album's concept was even carried over to the equipment used: strictly vintage mics and reverb/echo created by an old 1800's era water cistern found behind the house! This is a superb record that you wouldn't mind handing to a stranger or friend who wants to know what all this "rockabilly" fuss was about.
Generous quantity of material here -23 tracks! Great selection of straightforward standards and brilliant obscure-o-billy nuggets: you can't have a SUN tribute without BILL RILEY'S "Red Hot" & "Flying Saucer Rock And Roll," CARL PERKINS "Blue Suede Shoes" or JOHNNY CASH's "Get Rhythm." But what makes this album really rev right are all the rarely heard numbers like ROY ORBISON's "Rockhouse," "JACK EARL's "Slow Down," JERRY LEE LEWIS's "Real Wild Child," DEAN BEARD's "Rakin' And Scrapin'"," KENNY PARCHMAN's unissued "Get It Off Your Mind," and TOMMY BLAKE's "Flatfoot Sam" -all performed with wild abandon and informed flair by some of the best musicians in Nashville.
STAND-OUT HOT ROD TUNE: Dig the rowdy rollin' and rockin' "Peroxide Blonde In A Hopped Up Model Ford," unissued '57 track by SUN alum "Jumpin'" GENE SIMMONS. One of the coolest hot rod tracks ever, finally completed & committed to tape with a powerful `jived up' overhaul. That's Mr. Simmons himself on backup vocals and heard muttering at the end: "Think about it, killer!"
"Rockabilly Riot!" has lots of comfortable SUN covers, but also plenty of powerful surprises hidden deep under the hood. This is the album we all knew that Mr. Setzer could make if he ever got back to his roots. Now let's see if he leaves them Hollywood hills to tour in support of this rockabilly gem...!

Education in Rockabilly.......2007-01-01
**WARNING: This CD might make you search out and collect many obscure and unheard of artists in the Amazon Archives! May be hazardous to your financial health.**
I did not heed the warning and am happily collecting artists I'd never heard of.
"History of Rockabilly 101" little bit of a bore.......2006-05-24
It's not until well after you've graduated do you really appreciate the experience.
Riot seems a lot like that to me. The high level of detail in recreating some popular tunes of the 50's sounds initially interesting, but my first impression was one of disappointment. I was hoping Brian would kick it up a notch, add a little Ignition style fire into the recordings, but Mr. Setzer, like a school teacher had a certain agenda and he stuck with it. "That kind of style didn't exist in that erra," he would lecture the class.
I stick to my guns and really, really want Brian to make another over the top guitar record like Ignition, but at the same time, I have learned to appreciate this record for what it is. It is honestly a record that is unlike anything else in my collection.
I will probably begin to appreciate this record more as I grow older. For now, I never get tired of Brian's over the top mixture of jazz/blues/country/swing that has me dropping my jaw. I'm not interested in a tamer scaled down version...just yet. Maybe I will later.
So, whenever I feel like enrolling in Rockabilly school, I just pop this disc in.
A rockin' tribute .......2006-05-16
The album captures the energy and emotion of the Sun Records rockabilly classics, stays true to it, but improves on it with updated recording technology. The paradox is that the recordings are so clean, they lack a bit of the rawness of the 50's recordings.
Being a collection of covers, it has built-in limitations. When trying to pull something like this off, the artist is trapped between trying to bring something fresh to the material without straying too far from what made the songs great in the first place. Inject too much of yourself into someone else's song, and you're accused of heresy, betrayal. Introduce nothing new to the songs, and you're panned as boring and unoriginal. Setzer avoided the horns of that dilemma by revitalizing without ruining these classic songs.
Fans of the original Sun Records artists should be glad that the material is being re-introduced to the public in a very reverential way. Setzer fans should be pleased by the fire in his playing and singing. The songs are a lot of fun. Listening to this album reminded me of why early rock n' roll was so stirring, inspiring, energizing to that first generation of fans - something 50 years later we tend to take for granted.
Wow.......2006-05-12
Brian gathers a nice selection of rockabilly standards and covers them wonderfully. The Jordanaires join him on several songs, which really add to them. There isn't a song on here I don't like. I sense that Brian would have been perfectly content to have been around when rockabilly was being born.

The rise and fall of Quiet Riot in a single album.......2006-09-20
THE DISC: (1983) Originally 10 songs clocking in at approximately 41 minutes, this remastered version gives you 2 bonus tracks and almost 52 minutes worth. The bonus tracks: "Danger Zone" (unreleased studio cut), and a live version of "Slick Black Cadillac". Included with the disc is a 10-page booklet containing song titles/credits/times, original artwork and additional black & white photos, a brief 3-page intro, and thank you's. Recorded at The Pasha Music House in Hollywood, CA. Originally released on Pasha's label, this digitally remastered version is on Sony/Portrait/Epic.
COMMENTS: Disco was officially out a few years prior. New Wave was popular. Hard rock was coming back in. To many, American metal was still a question mark in the early 80's. The British/European invasion of heavy metal was in full force (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and the Scorpions to name a few big acts). In 1983 though, bigger albums than Def Leppard's "Pyromania", Motley Crue's "Shout At The Devil", or Iron Maiden's "Piece Of Mind"... was Quiet Riot's "Metal Health". 6+ million units sold and growing. As quickly as "Metal Health" rose (the first metal record to hit #1 on the Billboard album charts), the band fell from grace. DuBrow's antics were fairly well documented (difficult to get along with)... with other bands as well as his own. "Metal Health" was a solid album, and it's still a classic... but, it hasn't stood the test of time as well as any of the other albums mentioned above. For me, Quiet Riot was the definition of "pop" hair metal. "Metal Health" created the standard formula that all successful pop/hair metal bands seemed to follow... 1. Some aggressive hard rocking songs (""Breathless", "Run For Cover", "Love's A Bitch"); a couple of hits ("Metal Health", "Cum On Feel The Noise"), and a power ballad ("Thunderbird"). Quiet Riot's cover version of Slade's "Cum On Feel The Noise" hit #20 on the Billboard charts (#5 on the pop charts), as the title track hit #31. "Slick Black Cadillac" had minor success on the radio as well. Cavazo's "Battle Axe" is a short guitar solo - in the same vein as Eddie Van Halen's "Eruption". A brief history of the players is documented in the disc booklet - Quiet Riot being formed by guitar-god Randy Rhoads and singer DuBrow in the mid 1970's without much success; Rhoads and bassist Sarzo leaving QR to play with now solo Ozzy; Rhoads killed in a plane crash; Sarzo returns with Banali joining on drums and Cavazo on lead guitar. Some truly great songs here - my favorites are the title track, "Don't Want To Let You Go", and "Breathless". The ballad "Thunderbird" (though an ode to Rhoads) is musically weak. The bonus tracks - "Danger Zone" fits right in with the rest of the album (good stuff), but the live "Slick Black Cadillac" is absolutely horrible (sounds like an out-of-breath high school band doing a cover tune). The potential was there to continue (and more albums being released), but Quiet Riot never again achieved the success it had in '83. "Metal Health" is a classic in the "pop" arena of metal (4.5 stars).
