Velvet Revolver - Libertad


Saya sebenarnya pertama kali agak kurang suka sama Velvet Revolver, walaupun digawangi oleh salah satu vokalis terbaik dunia, Mr. Scott Weiland. Album pertama Velvet Revolver hanya saya dengar beberapa kali saja karena kurang suka dengan musik dan kayaknya belum ada 'chemistry' antara musik ala GNR dgn vokal ala STP-nya Scott.
Atas saran seorang rockapaloozer, saya disuruh dengerin "Libertad" album barunya Velver Revolver, katanya sih beda. Dan bener.....beda!
Disini saya baru nemuin kliknya vokal dan musiknya VR, lagu2nya pun hampir seperti lagu2nya STP tapi dengan derungan musik liar ala GNR khasnya Slash dan Duff. Lagunya sendiri asik-asik dan cenderung melodius. Denger aja lagu pembuka 'Let it Roll' yang bakal jadi stadium staple song, or 'Last Fight' yang slow dan very melodius ala STP album Purple.
Kayaknya album jadi kayak gini karena ada campur tangan the master of music producer, Mr. Brendan O'Brien. Ini kutipan wawancara dengan Scott Weiland:
"We were really excited about six months ago, when we first began writing. Then we really kind of flat-lined for a while, We didn't know which way we were going. Once Brendan (O'Brien) came on board, it was kind of like a shot in the arm. It was a new energy."
Very recomended utk dibeli CD-nya.

pumpkins is back!!!

Beneran deh ini the most anticipated album in 2007! Baru aja Smashing Pumpkins merilis album terbarunya "Zeitgeist" setelah vakum sekian tahun. Berbeda dgn album sebelumnya, disini tidak ada deruman gitar dari James Iha maupun dentuman bass Melissa auf Der Mar apalagi D'Arcy! ya mrk udah di kick sama Billy Corgan. Tp untunglah masih ada Jimmy Chamberlain yg tetap menjaga keunikan musik the new Pumpkins, dan tentu saja vokal khas Corgan.
Upon listening the the whole album one-two times, saya merasa ini album Grunge banget! bener-bener seger, walaupun dengan warna gitar yang berbeda. Hampir semua lagu kuat banget melodinya, belum apal satu-satu sih tracknya. You've got to listen Yourself! Saya sendiri suka banget dengan cover cd-nya, it will make a great t-shirt!

The Smashing Pumpkins have settled on the track list for
"Zeitgeist," the first album since 2000. As previously
reported, the album is due July 7 via Martha's
Music/Reprise. A first single has yet to be specified, nor
has the makeup of the band beyond original frontman Billy
Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin.

"Is everyone afraid? Has everyone changed?," Corgan sings
on opener "Doomsday Clock," a big, loud rocker in the vein
of "Geek U.S.A." from "Siamese Dream." The set is
frontloaded with songs of this ilk, hearkening back to the
grunge era with detuned guitars and pounding drums on
tracks such as "Tarantula," "Orchid" and "7 Shades of
Black."

A more nuanced, less abrasive approach is evident on
"Never Lost," which has vibraphone and organ tucked into
the mix, while "For God and Country" is a bass-driven tune
with shades of Depeche Mode-style synth-rock. The album
closes with the mostly synth-powered "Pomp and
Circumstance," as Corgan's multi-tracked vocals take on an
angelic effect.

The band will play its first show in six-and-a-half years
May 22 at the Grand Rex Theatre in Paris. European
festival appearances will follow through mid-June; the
Pumpkins' first U.S. show will be July 7 at the Live Earth
concert in East Rutherford, N.J.

Here's one of the retails. Enjoy ripping the bonus of the
others (if there will be some!)
