As good of introduction to Vitus as any.......2006-07-11

This album marks the transition between the Reagers era, and the Wino era, at vocals. Without question, the band was different with each--but great, and always still Vitus. This is probably the slowest, and most basic, of their material. Born too Late may be the truest doom of Vitus' era (except for their self-titled first album), which is saying a lot, since it's all unarguably "true." It pounds, it depresses, it bemoans, it laments. It seldom strays from simplicity musically, and yet, for all its simplicity, there is much going on. The wah-wah pedal and fuzzed (almost static-like)guitar bits really comes into their own here (a later Vitus trademark), creating an absrasive (as opposed to dreamy) pschedelic/noise influence. It's basic, primitive, but very memorable. Because of these aspcts, if one listens carefully, he or she can see the slightest of Hendrix influences here, even though overall, this is a poor man's Sabbath, hungover and slowed down.

Lyrically, this piece of art definitely epitomizes the feeling of the outcast, the forgotten, the sullen. Whereas a lot of metal lives off anger, this expresses enough indignation to offer signs of life, but teeters ever so close to the edge of total resignation. Every time I hear it, and then read these guys are from LA, I picture guys living in rat-infested apartments off skid row in the dingiest part of town, lost in the 70s, and finding just enough work to keep from going over the edge. This isn't exactly intended as a compliment, but it is to say, they are authentic, genuine, and they feel what they are singing about. If LA is the home of glam rock, these guys are anti-glam, and not self-consciously so; they simply ARE. They are average in talent, but excel at "creating a vibe"--and their sincerity resonates in every dragged out note, every moaned phrase. Simply put, Vitus is for the downtrodden, but not the weak.

Excellent Stoner Metal.......2006-06-02

One day I was browsing through my cd collection and I happened to find a cd, which I do not remember acquiring. It was called Born too Late. How it got into my stack of cd's I will never know, but I remember as I first listened to it on my walkman and immediately liked the slow and heavy sounds that this band made with tremendous eaze.

The musical style reminds me somewhat of other stoner metal bands like Bongzilla and Sleep, but they don't seem to be borrowing as much from Black Sabbath as those other bands are. Instrad Saint Vitus seems to be borrowing a lot more from the psychadelic movement, but blending it with the heaviest music this side of Cathedral (actually that is kind of an interesting correlation as there is a Saint Vitus Cathedral in Prague).

This cd is infinitely listenable, whether or not you have a handful of the good green stuff or not. They surprise me even when I am not paying attention to what they are singing. Sometimes a guitar line will just jump out and grab me by the ear lobe and pull me back in.

Purging Doom Metal Casualties.......2005-11-23

Teeming with an abundance of distorted, wah-wah pedal, tidal wave of slow-motion catharsis, California's Black Sabbath derived hippy weed worshipers, Saint Vitus, released this moody monolith in 85'. Many metal fans were unable to relate to its mastodon pace and counter culture themes of alienation, and the hardcore/punk crossover crowds found it laughable. It's what made BTL so unique; its self awareness was soulfull, heavy, at the forefront. I was one of those long haired weirdos who got it when it came out because by the pyschedelic pink cover with its cobwebbed crucifix stain-glass window, I knew it would smoke, and it sure did {I'm no autograph hound, but Wino signed my vinyl copy} I only break it out once in a blue moon as it represents something I more so related to when I was younger. The emotions conveyed reduce it to takes-one-to-know-one status; you either immediately love it or hate it. I ended up having it tatooed on my arm, ha ...inked, and to beat out a rhythm. It's the personal element that makes this record so powerful; if you 'got' it, you took comfort in knowing there were others out there who felt the same way, and that they blasted out tunes that resonated with a lost breed. Vitus was born too late, yet, were oddly ahead of their time as their music, and this record in particular, turned out to be far more influential than I'm sure those guys ever dreamed of in their wildest hallucinations.

Doom is good.......2005-10-27

Dark, brooding powerful classic masterpiece heavily influenced by Black Sabbath. The music's riff's are so slow and so cool. This was my first Saint Vitus album and it opened my mind. The music deals with alienation, psychedelic drugs, alcoholism, war lust and depression. Don't get turned off by the term "doom" yes saint Vitus sings about pessimistic subject matter but I always feel much better after listening to it. Doom Rock dose not get any better when then when Wino and Chandler crank it out. In my opinion this is the 2nd best Saint Vitus album placing it right after Saint Vitus's Mind Blowing "V" check it out.

Classic doom/stoner/punk....heck with that, CLASSIC PERIOD........2005-08-20

Saint Vitus is an interesting band. Back when they were making music it has been sumised by the music know-it-all's that "no one was listening" and only now are they a classic. Well, I was listening back then, and so were many others. The truth is the idea of a music review is sort of pointless, as it usually involves laying down a blanket opinion, not knowing the potential listeners wants and desires. What I'm saying here is this review assumes that you are looking for some seriously heavy fuzzy rock music, and if that's the case you can't do poor with Saint Vitus. As far as I'm concerned this band is one of a kind and always were. They were playing slow, dirgy rock when very few bands undertook that approach, so that at least makes them original for their peak time (the eighties). Many have discussed their Sabbath-inspired sound, and while I'm sure even the band would acknowledge this, this band is no rip-off. The CD of "Born Too Late" also includes the EP "Thirsty and Miserable", the title track being the Black Flag song slowed down to a grinding pace. There are some incredibly rocking numbers on this album. I think it's one of their best, myself. Dave Chandler has got to be the master of "just what is needed" guitar essentials. There's no "c**k rock" 40 minute solo excursions on guitar, instead Dave simply destroys a run with killer use of the fuzzy wah and other effects. The verdict seems split by some about the better lead vocalist; the first one, Scott Reagers or "Wino" Weinrich. For my money, give me "Wino". Scott Reagers is cool too, but he has that whole warbly metal thing going that I just don't dig as much myself. "Wino" brings a darker sense to the band, ala his work in Obsessed. When Wino says, "..I'm losing all my friends and lovers" in "Dying Inside" (a song about booze addiction written by Chandler, I think), you better believe it. Once again, the guitar work is solid thru and thru with incredibly creative turns and twists on the soloing, and not being afraid to bring that needed hardcore abandon to the instrument, without sounding anything like any other band on the SST label at that time. My favorite thing about Dave Chandler is he has no problem with being a solid rhythm player. This seemingly basic approach to the guitar is brilliant in this band, and really makes the songs catchy, easy to rock on, and brilliantly heavy. The drums are good, the bass is right where it needs to be, and all around this is an amazing band, underrated, classic, or any other label placed on them. Get this album, and any others still out there before they get harder to get. By the way, vinyl collectors are going nuts over this band, and some of the early material, like "Hallow's Victim" with Reagers are going for a silly-insane amount of money.

A Must Have, To be Sure.......2006-03-27

Can you dance to the tunes on this CD? Well, not really. This CD is for LISTENING! Repeat the last sentence please. If you want to hear musical craft at its best, this is the CD for you. This guy has chops. He plays first-rate piano with the nonchalant ease of a pro ballplayer cracking off a homer. He can sing too, and writes great songs. If he wasn't so damm likable the rest of us would be insanely jealous of all that talent and ability. (Ok, so the liner notes say you can dance to "So What if It's Hallowe'en". Maybe you can dance - I can't)

So find a comfortable place to be, put this CD on, and listen to the tunes. Laugh to "The Stripper," and "Chicks." Get a little misty over "Hearing with My Heart," and "Home to Me". Catch the `Jingle Bells' tag at the end of "So What if It's Hallowe'en". Feel all right with the world as "Gaslamp Fantasie" drifts on with the best of the slow ragtime hits. You'll have a great time, I promise you. Then you'll want to play it over again. And again.

Uniquely Inspired!.......2006-03-26

If you haven't heard Bob Malone you're missing one the of America's great artists, piano players and performers. Bob Malone's playing and writing are unmistakable and unique, with an innate, intimate understanding of America's rich jazz & blues traditions, steeped in the New Orleans idiom. "Born Too Late" is a phenomenal recording, his best ever. Bob combines his exceptional virtuosity, arranging skill, and soulful wit, in inspired new songs and performances. The depth and texture of the arrangements on "Born too Late" include guitar, dobro, and harmonica along with Bob's incredible band, highlighting Bob's artistic vision and insightful musicality. This CD is a must for any music lovers' collection.

Best Malone Ever!.......2006-03-26

It's always so interesting how varied people's opinions can be. I found this particular CD to not only be my favorite of all Bob Malone's works, but to quite possibly be my favorite CD of all time! I was fortunate enough to see Bob perform this album live at the Ogden Museum in New Orleans shortly after the hurricane, an honor normally granted only to local New Orleans musicians. He brought the audience to tears with "Home to Me" and "Angel", and elicited laughter and cheers with songs like "Chicks" and "The Brush". Bob's lyrics, as usual, are phenomenal, and his brilliant piano playing is incomparable. This CD has such wide appeal that even my friend's five year old twins have memorized all the words. This is a CD that no music lover should be without. And if you're a Bob Malone fan, well, you already have it.

Wasted Time.......2006-02-19

Malone's last album "Darkest Part of The Night" was so good I guess I was expecting something more than this one delivers. I found the songs on this CD to be tedious and boring for the most part. Bob sounded like he got stuck in the same old groove and couldn't get out. Certainly not up to a standard he set with even some of his earlier work, like the "Bob Malone" tracks. If you're a big Malone fan give it a shot, maybe you will hear something I didn't.
