![]() ![]() | Hospital Music Release date: 2007-08-06 List Price: Catalog: Music Manufacturer: Universal Int'l Product Description & Reviews: Album Description - 2007 album from the Canadian singer/songwriter and leader of the Matthew Good Band. Hospital Music, his seventh album overall, was inspired by Matthew's divorce, his battle with bipolar disorder and his eventual overdose. Features a new batch of originals plus cover versions of songs by The Dead Kennedys and Daniel Johnston. Universal. From Amazon.com - Matthew Good's seventh studio release Hospital Music is based on a premise that no one would wish to be inspired by: Good's overdose, spurred on by a nasty divorce and his ongoing battles with bipolar disorder. As a result, this disc is a dark, deeply intimate collection of music from a singer who has always been clever, but not always this lyrically direct. Sonically, Hospital Music is equally candid; opening track "Champions of Nothing" is a monolithic 9 and a half minutes of passion and processing in which keen-eared listeners can hear Good hyperventilating at the song's end. "She's in It for the Money" is as direct a journal entry as Good has ever penned, singing "I'm in love with your pills/I tried to get rid of myself" in a voice shaking with passion. Smatterings of sound bytes throughout the disc--akin to whispers of madness--keep it hanging in a perpetual state of unsettledness. There are certainly classic Good tracks, including "99% of Us Is Failure" and "The Devil's in Your Details" while "Born Losers"--the CD's first single--comes with a surprising country twang. Equally noteworthy is Good's unique choices of cover tunes: "Moon Over Marin" a gorgeous take on a punk rock classic by the Dead Kennedys and the closing number "True Love Will Find You in the End" from Daniel Johnston, a musician who has himself struggled with manic depression throughout his life. --Denise Sheppard Buy from Amazon.com! |
![]() ![]() | The Audio Of Being Release date: 2001-10-30 List Price: Catalog: Music Manufacturer: Umvd Import Product Description & Reviews: Album Description - 2001 album for the Canadian alternative rock act. The followup to their breakthrough 1999 album, Beautiful Midnight. Highlights include, 'Anti-Pop' & 'I, The Throw Away'. 12 tracks in all. Amazon.com - There's no doubt Vancouver's Matthew Good can write the kind of hook-filled rock song that immediately imprints itself on the listener's consciousness. Ultimately, though, even if he and his band were able to fill a record with riff-monsters of the caliber of "Hello Time Bomb" (a hit off 1999's Beautiful Midnight) it would probably become a little tiresome. The Audio of Being has its share of big shiny rock tunes, but Good and his cronies want it all--commercial success and artistic credibility. So for every rock & roll blast like "Carmelina" there is an "Advertising on Police Cars," in which the band incorporates a few musical and lyrical ideas from British art-rock icons Radiohead. This subversion of Good's formula doesn't always work, though--the blustery singer still sounds more convincing warbling away on bull-headed tunes like the tense, explosive "Man of Action," say, then he does playing the paranoid android in the aforementioned "Police Cars" or album finale, "Sort of a Protest Song." Still, the Matthew Good Band's fifth studio album contains enough great moments--Dave Genn's guitar in "Man of Action," "Truffle Pigs," and "The Rat Who Would Be King," the chorus in "The Fall of Man," the new wave synth hook in "Carmelina" (even if it does echo "Hello Time Bomb" a little too closely)--to satisfy fans and bring a few new listeners to the fold. It might not make anyone forget Radiohead's OK Computer, but at least The Audio of Being dares to push a few envelopes, and successfully more often than not. --Shawn Conner Buy from Amazon.com! |
