Pros: 14 songs. Nice variety. Several potential singles. Dark and eerie vibes. Cons: Just a few stinkers, a little rap, whining, swearing. That's about it.
=================================
Ladies and gentlemen, Live is back!!! With their fifth and current album, aptly titled V (as in, the Roman Numeral for "five"), Live stand poised to take over the universe. What...
Pros: One or two songs aren't so bad Cons: boring, uninspiring, feels "throw together" for the sake of releasing something
How is it that a band goes from selling millions of records to this, where the only way I knew the new Live album was coming out was via my weekly new release email from Newbury Comics? I had known Live was in the studio prepping their fifth...
Pros: The good tracks are really good. Cons: The bad tracks are really bad.
One of the few backlashes (besides losing my job) of the dotcom downturn has been the reduction in timely information available online in multiple locations. Just yesterday I was sadden to learn of the shutdown of Mr. Showbiz.com which had been “the”...
Pros: Several brilliant, colorful, wild and wacky numbers. 'Overcome' Cons: It's far from anything definitive
Live’s career so far had been one of violent lurches up and down, both in style and on the charts, and the new millennium was a time when they found that nearly every aspect of themselves was fading into obscurity. ‘Nu’ metal was dominating ...
Pros: Brilliant balladry, interesting sound experiments, attitude and aggression. Cons: Some stuff just doesn't click, couple of throw away tracks.
Live showed that they were ready to mix their classic power chord-based sound with a more modern edge on parts of 1999's "The Distance to Here". They went for the jugular two years later when the edgy-looking "V" hit the stands. The grainy, alternative ...
Pros: Experimentation makes for some of Live's best songs. Cons: It also makes for some of Live's worst songs.
Actually, more like second-best. Anyone who's been following York, PA natives Live know that with each album, they've changed their sound. Their sound changed dramatically in 2001 with the release of V, the band's fifth release. There's a ...
Pros: Some Good Tunes That Remind You Of Why Live Is A Great Band Cons: Weak Compositions, Hateful, Cynical Lyrics, Ed's Sudden Fixation With Rapping
Live has always been a band that stuck to what it did best, no matter what the current trends were. When they first exploded on to the scene, almost straight out of high school, Nirvana and other brooding, depressed bands were the order of the day....
Pros: Overcome and Nobody Knows are Live at their finest. Cons: Doesn't have a "complete" feel; a few too many songs sound like B-sides.
Let me just say that I'm a huge Live fan who was greatly disappointed with V. Perhaps the simple fact that I am such a diehard may be the reason why I didn't like the album. After all, it is very experimental, even more so than Secret Samahdi. But, I...
Pros: Crisp, well produced, many good songs, a fine example of 'new/underground' alt. music Cons: Some swearing, some strange vibs, dark, definitely not like Live's previous efforts.
Live's most recent effort, V, was at first the strangest thing that I had heard from them in a long time. This album is a strange trip through their previous albums, as the influence of all of their previous efforts shine throughout this album....
Pros: Incorporates new styles while maintaining their classic alternative sound Cons: Sometimes too much of a new thing is bad.
Ever since I saw the band Live, in concert, they have been my favorite band. Because I consider them my favorite band, I have become both a huge supporter of the band, and also a critic of their work. Live has experimented with different styles over...
Pros: Live is back... Cons: ...but with new producers??? WHAT????
Alright! Live is back! After the huge success of their last album, Ed Kowalchyk (vocals), Chad Taylor (lead guitar), Patrick Dahleimer (bass guitar), and Chad Gracey (drums) have teamed up with new producers Railo and Alain Johannes... which may have...
Pros: Talk about a sudden shift in sentiment time to find the definitive Live. Cons: CD got a real working this weekend, but I am glad I made the effort.
My initial review of V was not totally positive and my one saving grace was that I allowed for some growth through increased radio airplay and a slow acceptance of this piece of work which differs greatly from Live's previous efforts.
I thought...
Pros: The most underrated album of 2001, experimental in a great way. Cons: Some songs contain crappy lyrics but most are solid.
The bottom line is the new live CD is bumping and beautiful. As a lifelong fan of live i have noticed 3 things. The first of which is that none of their releases sound anything like each other although they all have that dark undertone i love so dearly....
Pros: Haven't listened enough to really tell... probably wont Cons: Live's gone hardcore Christian... I heard tamer sermons back when I went to church
There's not much to say here... As a fan of Several of Live's previous albums and songs, I was very excited to hear that they were coming out with a new album. Now, I have never had a problem with the Fact that they were Christian and Musicians, and...
