How Is It Getting 5 Stars?.......2006-06-18
congrats.......2006-02-11
THIS IS AWESOME.......2005-12-12
I definately believe that if they really wanted to, LBC could become just as popular as any of those other bands out there, but because they do not stray from their topic of real life and life in their area, they just can't reach all auidiences, but those they do reach should praise them.
All the songs on this album are good, with favorites being Mr. Wilmington, Atari, Sunday Afternoon, South Union, and Ordinary. The bonus track is also good, being an extention of the first opening track, Champions Dub (you notice the same chorus in the songs, and a very similar rhythm)
With good music and great songs, I hope to see more albums by these guys, they RULE
Great CD by a Great Band.......2005-10-24
Lucky boys confusion - commitment.......2005-10-23
LBC's commitment isn't groundbreaking musically, but the hooks and melodies are what make this record so good. Each song has a strong sound, and none of them sound too similar to the next. For example, "sunday afternoon", "Atari" and "champion" are all at the opposite ends of pop-rock music, yet they don't sound out of place on the same record, written by the same band. Hint's of third-wave ska, reggae and punk can all be heard on "commitment", but they're all brought together by a strong pop sensible sound.
If bands like mest and fall out boy can become popular, than so can LBC. I bought this record early in 2005, and it still gets played to this day. usually when a band puts 15 songs on a record, things can get stale; but not with LBC's commitment. If you like the stuff coming outta chigaco these days, you should make yourself familar with LBC.
I. Champions dub...intro n/a
II. Hey driver...good first song, features aj popoff from Lit 4/5
III. Broken...(no comment) 4/5
IV. Mr. Wilmington...deep song about suicide sung in pop form. gotta love it 5/5
V. Beware...the closest thing to "pop-punk" on this record. very catchy, and wouldn't sound out of place on a dance-rock record 5/5
VI. Commitment...(no comment) 3/5
VII. Atari...a little formulaic sounding, but good 3/5
VIII. Sunday afternoon...A reggae, hip-hop style song. good ish 4/5
IX. Closer to our graves...morbid, but catchy. LBC can do songs like that 4/5
X. Something to believe...song about religion, or not having any, i guess 4/5
XI. You weren't there...(no comment) 3/5
XII. Blame...this song can get you pumped like no other on the record 5/5
XIII. South union...short and sweet acoustic song 4/5
XIV. Ordinary...(no comment) 4/5
XV. Medicine and gasoline...great closer, lots of energy 5/5
[HIDDEN TRACK I]...another reggae song, pretty okay 3.5/5
It would be very easy to give this record a 4, because that is what most of the songs average, but because this record never seems to get old, that makes it a 5. Get it today if you like pop-rock.

An under-rated classic. .......2005-08-16
Although I love "Concierto" as much as anybody, I personally enjoy "Commitment" as least as much. Although it's a relatively slickly-produced CTI recording, it nonetheless has a very live and intimate feeling to it. The intent was to showcase Hall's playing and compositions in a variety of relaxed settings, playing with friends. And it works admirably. The result is a series of thoughtful, occasionally playful and consistently engaging performances from all of the superb musicians on the album. The tunes range from lush ballads to lightly-but-definitly-swinging standards to an accoustic guitar and drum calypso duet to the beautiful "Lament for a Fallen Matador", Don Sebesky's arrangement based on Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor" included as a follow-up to the "Concierto de Aranjuez" arrangement on "Concierto". I've heard at least one critic complain about Hall's wife's singing on "When I Fall in Love". (A simple voice-guitar duet give to listeners a peak into the casual music Hall and his wife make at home.) Look. She's not a professional singer and that complaint entirely misses the point of why this piece was incluced here. And really, for an amatuer, her singing is much better than 90 some percent of us could do. I personally really liked her phrasing. (Critics can be such jerks.) Finally, I think Jim's performance on "My One and Only Love" with Tommy Flannagan is as good or better than any Jim Hall balad playing on record, bar none. I cannot fathom why it wasn't included on "Balad Essentials".
Admittedly, I'm biased. This was my first Jim Hall album and it turned me into a life-long fan. About 27 years ago I bought it (in vinyl) on a lark based on the beautiful D'Aquisto on the back. I was about 17 or 18 and my guitar instructor then was all about Pat Martino and I was looking for something more to my own tastes. After hearling Jim Hall play on this album, I was hooked for life. So this album has sentimental value to me. Still, I think it's a shame that this album is so overlooked by Jim Hall fans and critics. I'm just grateful that at least Universal made a release for the Janpanese market so that I was able to order the CD on Amazon.
If you're a Jim Hall fan and you haven't heard this album, get it while and wherever you can. It is truly a clasic and it is wonderful listening.
