5 out of 5 stars Best Junoon Album Ever.......2005-10-24

Just like Metallica's black album was that one album that defined the Metallica sound, Junoon's Parvaaz is the revolutionary album that not only completed their evolution of sufism-infused-rock sound but also set the benchmark for the Pakistani rock music industry.

The album is heavily immersed in Sufi poetic works of Bulleh Shah and other Sufi poets of the East. More importantly, the sound and production quality of this album is probably the best ever by a Pakistani band. The bass lines are clearly defined and the lead guitar solos are really infectious, all in the backdrop of Eastern percussion instruments and western drums.

Bulleya sets the tone with a high paced call to arms against stereotyping individuals as religious or unbelievers. Ghoom, the best track on this album has an amazing guitar solo that teasingly reminds the listener that another genre of music has been created.

I can go on and on about this album but basically you have to buy it to believe it. If you had money to buy only one Pakistani album, I would recommend Parvaaz. Its that good!

5 out of 5 stars what fun rock should be!.......2004-03-18

do worry if you can't speak Urdu (i certainly can't!) but this music is fantastic-- modern guitars and mixing along with Arab beats.

what's great about this album is that you don't HAVE to understand what it's all about, you just feel it, music transcends understanding (and with all the sex-kitten pop out there right now rock is a dying genre).

i can't help but roll down the windows of my car and sing at the top of my lungs to these songs (for the highway fast songs like "Pyaar Bina" are highly recommended and for the sidestreets where traffic is a litte slower songs like "Mitti" are essential).

In this global economy and global society international music is essential and this band (and album) are a fantastic place to start. if you love rock, and enjoy just singing and dancing to great rock music, this album is definately for you!

5 out of 5 stars one of Junoon's best!.......2002-04-26

This is probably the album that got me hooked on Junoon two years ago. Although I'm American and do not speak a word of Urdu (well, not too much in any case), I find their music a refreshing mix of rock and traditional. The percussion and guitar parts are great, and I get the songs stuck in my head despite the fact that I don't understand them. (There are lyrics in english translation online however.) This is a bit of soul-searching album, and a good look at what Islam is really about. Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Somethings from the East are not Bad.......2002-01-24

This band is the anti-dote to the Taliban. You do not need to understand the language to appreciate the feelings expressed by these artists. They are a true blend of the best of the western music and eastern music. They rock! Their percussion and vocal style is eastern, but their guitar work, is very western. There is not a clunker in the whole lot, and the repeat of the opening cut, "Bulleya" is great, because this is clearly the anthem of the cd. These guys deserve a world tour. Their use of classic sufi poets,for their lyrical inspiration grounds their work. Other bands might want to emulate this fount for their lyrics. Poets for lyrics, musicians for music. What a concept!!! BUY THIS. U-2 fans will particularly like this cd.

4 out of 5 stars Great Music.......2001-12-27

Junoon makes some incredible music here, the only unfortunate part of owning this cd, is that I cannot find an English translation for the lyrics. Otherwise, this rocks, and I did see Al on Politically Incorrect one night, and that man is serious eye candy! That's the real reason I bought the cd, but now I am glad I own it! The audio is awesome too! ;)
