Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes (2xLP)

TV on the Radio

[Cover]

Label: Touch & Go Released: 2004
Price: $13.99

VINYL FORMAT. Pop, rock, and art songs about discordant living, misrepresentation, life, afterlife, love, and love "after hours." Scandalous. Undeniably catchy songs with incredible production, arrangements, champion crooning, and a host of extras. "They sound like Pere Ubu meets Belfegore meets The Tar Babies meets a way less chilly Notwist with a smidge of Metric thrown in"--Jane.

this album is truly one of my all-time favorites. i can't believe how inventive it is. everytime i listen to it i'm forced into a state of pure euphoria. maybe it's only because of my inferior music knowledge, but i couldn't even begin to think of their influences. it sounds completely original to me.

i LOVE this album TVOTR is now one of my favorite bands...any time you put their music on, you can relax and get work done or relax and have fun. sometimes, you put it on just to listen. if you ever feel like you need to listen to something, but you can't figure out what it is that you want to hear, TVOTR works perfectly. Aside from the fantastic experience as a listener, they're musicianship is admirable. the type of music they have created is unique in a day and age where most music is similar or at least adheres to a type. their blend of harmonies, heavy bass, and band instruments is surprisingly fantastic. i love them.

How do I even begin to describe this album. It's pretty wierd, but you might like it. It's kind of southern, gospel-influenced, psychish, prog rock? I don't know. It's a pleasure to listen to though. I'm not sure why the hype died down on these guys. For a while there "Staring at the Sun" was the JAM on Subterranean. This is a totally great record though. Hard to eloquate, but great. Nick Zinner of the YYY's make a guest guitar appearance... does that help explain the greatness? At first listen these songs are not exactly poppy alt rock, and it doesn't all sound like "Staring at the Sun," which threw a lot of people off I think. There's lots of cool deep voiced men harmonizing with not so deep voiced men. There's cool drums. There's that awesome WAHWAHWAH on "Staring at the Sun"!!! (Oh! And on the vinyl version there is an awesome etching on the 4th side [the second of the second record].) Pirate some MP3's before you get this one, just to make sure you like the style.
