5 out of 5 stars Scream.......2007-07-23

Although I still like many of the songs in the original form, that is, German... I have enjoyed this English release very much. They have taken songs from the first and second album; many have been re-mixed. Bill's voice has matured and is deeper (not by much), so many songs were written in different keys than the originals, plus the remixes are great. Buy it if you love Tokio Hotel.

5 out of 5 stars Bill Kaulitz brings it in English too!.......2007-06-23

Tokio Hotel recorded some of their songs in English because they wanted to share their lyrics with others who might not know German... they wanted to be sure that the meaning of their songs was correctly translated. That is what this album is.

It's fantastic.

Anyone who thinks they do not like Tokio Hotel? If they hear Sacred or By Your Side is sure to be hooked

4 out of 5 stars different in english.......2007-06-17

its defiantly different hearing it in english. I enjoyed the CD but I absolutely love the German version of all of these songs! If you're a huge fan you should have this CD. For the people who have not hear of this band or songs by them give them a listen! They have so much talent and their music is really good for a rock band.

A watershed '90s release, Screamadelica was the most convincing marriage of overground rock and underground dance music yet. With one foot in Beggars Banquet-era Stones (the gospel-rock "Movin' on Up") and the other in the trippy soundscapes of rave culture (the Orb-produced "Higher Than the Sun"), Primal Scream caught the mind-blown euphoria of Ecstacy better than anyone. Frontman Bobby Gillespie had no singing voice to speak of, but his vision of cosmic hedonism made him a drugged-out Pied Piper for the acid tribes. From the incantatory anthems "Loaded" and "Come Together" to the sinister rendering of the 13th Floor Elevators' "Slip Inside This House," Screamadelica was a modern psych classic. --Barney Hoskyns

1 out of 5 stars more like Primal Whimper.......2007-05-02

my own fault for not researching it further, or at least listening to the tracks first. always wanted to check this band out, with a great name like that how bad could they be? sorry i asked. what a drippy, instantly-forgettable pile of mumbly drivel. psychedelic? omg hardly, unless you can trip on prozac and think jam bands are the coolest thing ever. I don't think i'll even re-sell it, it belongs in the trash.

5 out of 5 stars if you aint got it get it........2005-12-05

Every track a gem.
this album came out in 1991. Every track still rides.

5 out of 5 stars "Trip Inside This House as You Pass By".......2005-04-02

This cd is what movie goers would call a "cult classic". The music on it is so diverse that from one song to next doesn't even sound like the same cd, more like a compilation album with various artists. I too was introduced to Primal Scream through the Cindy Crawford workout video. I loved the music so much I found myself watching the video over and over just to hear the music. I was very dedicated to working out everyday for a year cuz of the music. When I saw the end credits I was shocked to find out that 90 percent of the music she used was infact by one band ... Primal Scream. So during driver's ed my class drove to the mall for a break. I hunted down Screamadelica and listened to it on the way back home by the end of the drive my classmates were also interested in it. I have Cindy Crawford to thank for my discovery. "Higher Than the Sun" ,"Loaded", "Don't Fight It Feel It" (the ultimate tummy crunch song, perfect title too) LOL and my personal favorite "Slip Inside This House" ...easilly one of my favorite songs of all time. Trip-hop, house, dance, whatever you wanna call it... I call it great! A classic in it's own right and definately underrated. Buy this album no matter what your into, it is a psychedelic trip into the 90's.

5 out of 5 stars A truly remarkable album of confident sunny optimism............2005-03-30

Primal Scream are a band that move musically in so many different guises & Sounds, that If you became a fan of theirs, through a particular album, there's nothing to say that the next album is going to resemble the previous album, in any...way, shape or form. A band that reflect the musical landscape of the current time, and arguably take contemporary influences and ideas, and fashion albums that bookmark certain
periods in their career.

The year is 1991, and Britain is in the midst of a change in the current movement of music. "Dance Music" has become one of the more dominant sounds to have shaped Britain's music scene. And the majority of the music buying public has become enthralled by it, many acts producing the majority of the dance music, had discovered the drug "Ecstasy" years previous, and were, making scintillating fusions of acid, House, Techno & Alternative Dance. Primal Scream themselves had become no strangers to the Drug, and although their form of all-encompassing rock was extremely diverse, it wasn't truly representative of the explosion of Dance orientated music entering the charts. That's when the band hooked up with highly regarded Dance producer "Andy Weatherall", who'd worked on everything from: downbeat, Experimental techno, IDM, Acid, Dance. And would lend his considerable dance productions skills to embellish the album with a sunny-eyed optimism, and Hedonistic glow, (along with a helping of deep psychedelic / Exuberant arrangements).

"Movin' on Up", begins with a gospel-tinged soaring & joyous chorus, opening everything wide open and turning their previous sound of alternative dance-rock inside out by easing back on the rock dynamics, but not completely abandoning it, and fusing it with a effervescent exercise of modern dance sounds & imagination, with singer/frontman "Bobby Gillespie" singing plaintively "I've found what I'm looking for!!"...what exactly Gillespie has found isn't made entirely clear, (although it wouldn't take a genius to guess), and it's here that throughout the album a lot of the lyrical content can be open to more than one interpretation.

"Slip inside This House", locks 80's rave beats with a slightly psychedelic eastern guitar (possibly a "Sitar"), it's a highly imaginative fusion of two distinctly different sounds, and the influence on the production has "Andy Weatherall's" ideas stamped all over it. Something of a throwback to the days of Warehouse Raves, through a restrained slower melody, this is far more considered & slower paced than anything the band have previously attempted, over which Gillespie cryptically chants "Trip inside".

"Don't Fight It, Feel It" uses a reverberated bass, to elastic effect, over which the tune is stretched over, before the bassline is interupted, with female vocals, and prominent squelchy synths, take precedence, almost neo-psychedelic in approach, and such a monumental step forward for what the band is primarily known for, that it seems impossible to link this new sound, to anything the band have ever previously done. Interestingly the female vocals sing: "I want to Dance to the music, before getting High", alongisde minimal drum percussion, with the occasional euphoric looping keyboard bursts free, with surprising gusto.

"Higher Than the Sun", brings a spooky-ambience to begin with, with various sampled vocal wails, throwing the listener into (slight) confusion, before giving way to a slow horror-soundtrack inspired arrangement, that begins to gather pace, then disjointed beats with synth melodies soar & Conflict against each other, with Gillespie singing a ballad-like "Higher than the Sun" vocal. Layers of booming almost Breakbeat beats begin to take hold....a very unusual track by conventional song structure methods, but still arguably stunning.

The centrepiece track in-amongst this beautifully Euphoric rush of an album, is the breathtaking "Come Together", with a snippet of movie dialogue saying "It's a Beautiful Day", "We are Together", as church organs begin to swirl into the sound, mixed with synchronised hand-clapping (Possibly sampled from an actual Church congregation), and the minimal Drum Hi-Hat gaining momentum, before a gradually soaring arrangement of Dance Beats, begin to thump into action, driving the sound into a truly ambitiously soaked sound of Dance/Gospel Fusion......."Together as one" is the chanted message of the group of female voices singing in harmony, and it quite a breathtaking air of euphoria surrounding it, unquestionably one of the best tracks on the album.

"Loaded", another of the albums strongest tracks, opens with more snippets of movie dialogue, with the sample "We Wanna get loaded & have a good Time", showing the tracks statement of intent, and couldn't be more apt. Trumpet sections soar, minimal dance beats intertwine with everything, and shredding Guitars punctuate halfway through, being interspersed with more Clips of movie Dialogue saying "We Want to Be free, to do what we want to Do!!?", liberal use of backing female choruses, gives the track a level of unity & hedonism, that most conventional dance music couldn't possibly had to emulate....and to end the track with the sampled "We wanna get loaded, and have a good time", is a tremendous closer, for a truly stunning track.

To compare this albums against Primal Scream's previous albums is a redundant exercise, as it so out of step with what they've previously done before, that a reasonable judgement, becomes incredibly hard. This is such a brilliantly realised and produced album, that is such a monumental step forward for the band, that those that listen to it for the first time, will (initially) have difficulty believing it to be the same band. Even more astonishingly, is the fact that even though this was created around the time of the Dance music boom (in the U.K.) in the early 90's, it doesn't sound horribly dated, listening to it some 13+ years later (partly due to Andy Weatherall's incredible production). Few would argue, that this & XTRMNTR are the finest two albums Primal scream have ever made thus far, utterly essential.

5 out of 5 stars Timeless... know what I mean?.......2005-03-01

Screamadelica was, is, and always will be one of those albums that changed the face of popular music. It is a record that wears its influences heavily on its second hand sleeves. Chicago House music, deep deep deep dub, raunchy blues, British techno, Northern Soul, jangley guitars, good night lullaby's and obscure cinematic references are all blended together to form an aural experience that still makes the listener feel like they are visiting another planet. True, it's a planet chemically loaded and ready for an endless night, but isn't that what you sometimes needs your music to do for you? Take you away from the reality of it all and strand you in some weird foreign land. Bobby Gillespie and his merry band of nutjob musicians have taken us to grungier and sonically odder places, but this is the record where all the real scream team lunacy begins. Almost a trip to the dark side of the moon. Take a big hit of this album, hold it in and pass out blissfully!

4 out of 5 stars What a Debut.......2005-06-07

This is without a doubt one of the greatest debut albums ever released by a rock band. They were called "punks" I think mostly because of their look, but their sound was so far ahead of, and so much more adventurous, than their punk peers, that the label "punk" doesn't do them justice. Sonically raw and brutal, and lyrically biting, this ain't your basic three cord thrash. This is far more considered and polished ( featuring production work by the legendary Steve Lillywhite ) than anything that was coming out at the time, and is a landmark in every sense of the word.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best cds i own.......2004-08-21

The first cd by siouxsie and the banshees i got was "peepshow" which was ok, but deffinately not a favorite. Then i got "Hayena" which i really didnt like at all. So, i gave it one last chance and bought "The Scream". Im not lying when i say its one of the best cds i own.

Pure 8/10 - The intro. this is probably as good an intro can get. It has a creepy indian kind of vibe to it, and sets the mood for the album.

Jigsaw Feeling 9/10 - The song starts like a whisper then builds more and more intense. The Guitars sound like insane violinists abusing their insturments.

Overground 7/10 - A simple but brutal assualt. The song is good and creepy, but it gets kind of old where as the rest of the album doesn't.

Carcass 10/10 - One of the few punkish songs on the cd. It sounds different than lots of the other punk songs because - it has barely any use of cymbals. This songs about a guy who cuts off his arms and legs.

Helter Skelter 10/10 - This sounds like the manson family version of the song. Fast and brutal with no forgiveness.

Mirage 8/10 - Really kool sounding. Acoustic and flanger eletric guitar give it is magic touch. Another creepy but jumpy song.

Metal Postcard 8/10 - Another genuine upbeat song. Has a kind of bauhaus feel to it.

Nicotine Stain 8/10 - Punky sounding song.

Suburban Relapse 8/10 - The opening guitar reminds me of the shower music in "psycho". The rest of the song is creeping and gritty. The end of the song is very scary and weird.

Switch 15/10 - My favorite song on the album. At first i didnt like it; but it grew on me in a big way. Its kind of touching [i dont wanna sound gay but it is]. Its very weird, but very beautiful. Kind of gives you a taste of whats to come in the banshees future.

I deffinately wouldnt call this a punk album, cos its too innovative and complex to be classified as another fast and snotty punk cd. Its the darker and more magical side of the 70's rock spectrum. I recomend it to punk fans who are looking for something more than skin deep.

5 out of 5 stars The Scream - Siouxsie & the Banshees.......2004-04-26

This is one of the most frightening albums of punk or any other genre... it's like a halloween rape spree in its sheer mindless evil. Stomping boogie like 'metal postcard', Horrible cries of angst like 'pure'... music like someone wanting to cave in your head then smear your brains all over their porkchops. Music to dine with Hannibal with. Music to make you want to strew entrails on your children. This is not a 'fun' album... but it is indispensible. No other album i've heard carries it's scent of urban 70s horror. To cheer up afterwards? watch 'apocalypse now'.

cheers!
Doc

4 out of 5 stars Debut from Siouxsie leaves me in love with my stumps.......2004-02-03

Siouxsie and the Banshees are best known for being the inspiration behind the goth movement, yet Susan Dallion and crew began with the punk scene in the late 70's, and their debut album Scream is the proof of the pudding that the Banshees could rock as hard as their punk peers.

The opening "Pure" is a haunting instrumental number, with Siouxsie and company vocalizing. A prelude to their later goth efforts.

The snarling guitars and quick-paced drums of the alienation song "Jigsaw Feeling" demonstrate that Siouxsie hasn't left her punk roots.

The mid-paced "Overground" as opposed to underground, contains the punk irony and distaste of the modern age and "a life of pleasantries." Yes, overground is a place free from "abnormality" and "normality" but at the cost of "identity."

The next track reverts to punk, and "Carcass" about a cannibal, but of a metaphorical kind, where the "butcher" is "craving for a raw love" or should that be "carving?" And using the butcher analogy, love will leave one impaled, put in cold storage, and a victim of the cleaver. The end result of an encounter is being "in love with your stumps/in love with the bleeding/in love with the pain that you once felt."

Their cover of the Beatles' "Helter Skelter" pre-dates those of Motley Crue and U2. There are a few bass notes, then some guitar riffs, and when Siouxsie sings the first words, the drums sound in time with her words, then the drums speed up, as does her singing, and it turns into a frenetic punk exercise. This is later done on their live Nocturne CD. Like that album, in one line, Siouxsie adds a word, singing "you may be a lover but you ain't no f----ng dancer!" The best cover of the Beatles song I've heard.

"Mirage" seems a commentary on TV, sung from the POV of a character on the screen, described as "a photo-fit of loose ends, framed in 3D."

"Nicotine Stain" depicts the horrors of smoking down to the physiological and psychological craving. The chorus goes "Wallow in that ash bath/soaking up the fumes/and see the nicotine stain/start to spread." The number of people who will die from cancer is predicted from the POV of the cigarette, who says spread me in every country.

The dulling and meaningless of living in a suburban drudgery comes in the punk "Suburban Relapse" where the character might go postal, or is that suburban, "when [her] string snapped." The character then wonders "Should I throw things at the neighbours/expose myself to strangers/kill myself or...you?" My string may snap soon myself.

"Switch" begins quietly, but the tempo goes up with the second verse. How trying to get a novel stimulation in life to make things better, seeking out a new paradigm, is given a rewiring analogy: "watch the muscles twitch/for a brand new switch." There are verses linking scientists testing out new drugs, and religious figures trying to be more progressive. This song too ended up on Nocturne.

This features the original lineup of the Banshees, before drummer Kenny Morris and John McKay left to be later replaced by Budgie and for a brief spell, Robert Smith of the Cure. An impressive debut produced by Steve Lillywhite, with Siouxsie and friends still clearly in the punk scene.

5 out of 5 stars Brutal Raw and Dissonant.......2003-12-26

Brutal, raw and dissonant. The Scream was the first of its kind and fundamental for the development of the goth era. Pushing punk music into the darkest realms that the genre could allow, The Scream roars furiously on the surface while it seethes uncomfortably just below. The lyrics set the blueprint for the dark subject matter Siousxie would continue to dabble in, perhaps it's just the stylistic limitations of punk music that keeps this album just a foot away from perfection.

    5 out of 5 stars Outstanding CD.......2007-07-25

    Writing for my Husband Mike. I bought the CD for him. Outstanding CD. He has waited 20 years for this to come out in CD. Even the kids love it.

    3 out of 5 stars An "Interesting" follow up to Chameleon........2007-03-25

    If you were like me in the 1970's you were going to every MF concert he booked locally. Between 1974 - 1977 I must have seen him live at least 7 or 8 times, in high school concert halls, in larger clubs, and even a couple time at Disneyland (back when Disney used to have an "All That Jazz" festival over Memeorial Day Weekend). After the huge success of Chameleon, and after some changes in the band, Maynard always included some new and upcoming pieces when playing in concert. For Example, one of the most popular songs he did in concert during the time between Chamelon & Primal Scream was Elton John's "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" and believe me, it always brought the house down. That was one of the main reasons Primal Scream was a huge disappointment when it was released. None of the new songs were included and instead we're treated to a completely different sounding Maynard album that only had 5 songs.

    For me there were only 3 songs that got my interest. The title track is the first piece here and starts off with a trumpet winding up to a roar. The song then moves into a driving rhythm that gets your juices flowing. This is probably the one piece here that could be called a typical MF work. The next two songs NEVER appealed to me. "Cheshire Cat Walk" and "Invitation" would probably be decent songs for other, more traditional fusion jazz artists but they are SO out of place on an MF album. Ugh!

    The final two works, "Pagliacci" & "Swamp" are also two different sounding songs but done with more flair. Pagliacci actually became one of the most popular Marynard pieces to be played in concert during this period. While on the album it's interesting and fun in a sort of disco manner, live it became this 20 minute monster that featured Bobby Militelo in a 10 minute flute condenza. All three times I got to hear him he would draw multiple standing ovations during his solo. One of the absolute masters!

    If you are looking for a more traditional MF album you may want to pass on this one. While it does have some good pieces it's definitely not what we were expecting back in the mid-1970's. But it is a good addition if you are looking just to round out your MF collection.




    5 out of 5 stars Maynard's Best Album (in my opinion).......2006-04-22

    Yes, I was a horn player through high school and college in the late '70's and early '80's. Everybody loves "Chameleon" and I do too, but in my opinion Primal Scream is his finest album ever.

    Nobody has ever played the high register with the kind of power, intensity and flexibility Maynard did. Interestingly enough though, this album doesn't showcase that talent nearly as much as his other work does. He does of course rip off some goose-bump raising screamers as always, but they don't dominate the album.

    Check out Mark Colby's monster saxophone solo in the title tune. And "Cheshire Cat Walk" is indeed a killer of a chart, although it took a while to grow on me initially. Once it did however, the Chick Corea/Maynard improvisation duel in "Cat Walk" is easily the best part of the album.

    Primal Scream came out at the height of the disco craze, and "Pagliacci" is, well, pure disco. The arrangement is done so well though that you can't help but like it as you listen to Maynard's horn soar over the rest of the orchestra.

    Very happy to see this album finally released on CD.

    3 out of 5 stars Maynard + Chick Corea = Musical Bliss.......2004-07-16

    Having waited several decades for this 1976 album to appear on cd, this is a most welcome addition to the Maynard catalogue. Although from the more commercialized Maynard musical period, it nonetheless is an essential acquisition for the Maynard fan. With the legendary Bob James as producer, as well as guest musicians such as Chick Corea, Joe Farrell, Eric Gale, Steve Gadd, and Dave Sanborn, you can be assured of impeccable instrumentation/arrangements. Maynard does his own intense interpretaion of Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci" from the opera of the same name, but for me, the real showpiece of the album is Chick Corea's "The Cheshire Cat Walk," written especially for this album. If you worship Chick Corea's 70's musical output, stop reading this and just go buy the cd. Chick has crafted a wonderful ten-minute Spanish-tinged tour de force just perfect for Maynard's soaring improvisation. To hear Maynard and Chick on synthesizer musically "duel" is worth the price of admission alone. Don't miss it !

    5 out of 5 stars Fall in love with this album :-).......2006-06-30

    first of all: it's so nice to see that there are american fans! i am from switzerland and i bought the cd at the release day, as a big k's choice fan. it is just wonderful, typically sarah's songrwiting: beautiful melodies, lyrics from deep to critical to just sweet, and all interpreted by her unbelieably smooth voice! there are songs rockier than ever and also more personal than ever and many slow songs too. this is definitely one of the cd's i listened to most in my whole life and i still listen to it. my favourite: "one second". when you're in love then there's no sweeter song!

    5 out of 5 stars taken off gaurd.......2006-06-10

    funny story.... kind of just happened upon this cd watching(sleeping) the logo channel late night and woke up to this amazing sound and saw the last part of the video for "come over here" and from that moment on could not get it out of my mind. looked everywhere i could think of to find the artist and any of her music and had no luck in many main stream search engines so went to google .......found it...love it....can't say enough for it sarah bettens is brillant thank you!!!!!

    4 out of 5 stars Not Quite K's Choice, But Worth Screaming About.......2006-06-06

    I've been a big fan of K's Choice and have waited far too long to pick up this album. I certainly wasn't disappointed. Sarah Bettens has created a beautiful album with a nice balance of music. This is a must have for K's Choice fans and I think people who like Ani DiFranco and even Dido will like the music. Picture an Alanis Morrissette-Jagged Little Pill type album (the only one of hers worth buying) that you can put on and either listen to actively or let fall into the background while you chill with friends or catch up on some light reading. You'll definitely enjoy this.

    5 out of 5 stars Phenomenal!!.......2006-03-22

    I wasn't aware of Sarah's music until this weekend when she came in for our unofficial SXSW Invasion of the Gogirls. We hung out Friday night and shared the stage w/ her on Saturday. It was like POW! RIGHT IN THE KISSER! We traded CD's and I've been listening to hers over and over and over again! This is quite possibly the best CD I own and I own WAY too many CD's. As you can see most people have rated it a 5 star CD and deservedly so. BUY 5 so you can turn your friends on to her. We need to support the heck out of her in the states!!!

    5 out of 5 stars An excellent album!.......2005-09-26

    I thoroughly enjoy Sarah Bettens' solo CD. As a huge fan of K's Choice, I was unsure what to expect from the sound of Sarah's voice on her own. But I should not have feared, as the album is equally as strong but in a unique way. Songs like "Come Over Here" strays from the typical K's Choice song, yet is a pleasant change. Her lyrics are captivating and beautiful, and I highly recommend this CD. "Stay", "Turn Around", "Go", "Sister" and "I'm Okay" are my favorites :) Enjoy!

    2 out of 5 stars not that good.......2007-07-17

    geri has a nasally voice, and i guess you have to like her to accept it. this is not atrocious or repulsive, but it's not really good either. 1 or 2 songs i like (i was made that way). but the most i like is Don't call me baby. but i swear that she sampled that from Vanessa Paradis' "be my baby". it sounds very much like it! yet i think i like geri's version better, even though i like Vanessa's.

    4 out of 5 stars Excellent second album from Geri!.......2006-05-12

    Geri Halliwell's "Scream If You Want to Go Faster" is a collection of catchy, enjoyable pop tunes. It is a great listen from start to finish and is highly recommended. The title track has a real rock feel. Personal favorites include "Circles Round the Moon," "Strength of a Woman," and "Don't Call Me Baby." The album gets four stars only because her follow-up CD, "Passion" is her best work to date. She keeps getting better and better.

    5 out of 5 stars pop princsess is back!.......2005-11-26

    this is a very groovy album it's like geri's music i love
    the way she has so mutch rythm when she sings.She is just so
    pretty and indapendent.Geri has really done a great job in this
    album.

    5 out of 5 stars Geri Ger Geri!!!! Her BEST Yet!!!!.......2005-10-24

    Geri's second solo CD was highly anticipated and she sure as hell delivers with this one!

    This would have been to one of the best CD's that any of the Spice Girls released as a group or as a solo artist (only second to perhaps Melanie C's Northern Star) and is full of catchy pop songs that really do want to make you listen to them over and over again.

    Ok so I hear you saying but geri doesn't have the BEST voice on the planet....well so what?? We can't all sing the same - that would be quite boring...that is why there are so many different genres of music these days. Geri just seems to have the formual right for this cd where the songs really suit her voice and that is what makes a successful artist.

    I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of the cover of "It's Raining Men" but she does do it justice.
    The other outstanding tracks on this album are "Shake Your Bootie Cutie", "Strength Of A Woman", "Circles Around The Moon" & the title track "Scream If You Wanna Go Faster"

    5 out of 5 stars Geri new world of music!!!!!!.......2005-07-24

    This album is the best.If you have it,you won't regret.All songs are good.And I really love to "Calling".It's vey make my heart so fly away and it's about my story of life too. You must buy it!Anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Album Description

    Riot City Blues' is Primal Scream's follow-up album to the electro-tinged 'Evil Heat', although it could easily be compared in style and content to their 1994 masterpiece 'Give Out But Don't Give In'.

Includes the single 'Country Girl'.Recorded at London's Olympic Studios and produced by former Killing Joke bassist Youth. This offering from Bobby Gillespie and the boys, which includes the single 'Country Girl', features guest contributions from Will Sergeant (Echo & The Bunnymen), Warren Ellis (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) and Alison Mosshart (The Kills). Sony/BMG. 2006.

    5 out of 5 stars There are no Blues in this Riot City.......2007-01-20

    Ahh, Primal Scream. Back to rock music, and back to original band spelling.

    Bobby Gillespie and his men are just like the mystery bag, you never know what type of album youll get next from them. They seems to bounce into different genres every album now from rock, to electro, to metal to dance etc...so...which one is this one?

    Riot City Blues (album title is a slight giveaway) is just a strong, fullblooded rock n roll record. This aint a Primal first...(remember Screamadelica follow up Give Out, But Dont Give Up?) and i highly doubt it will be the last either. This nonsensical brash rock n roll should be on future Scream albums - and thank god for that

    This is a solid album straight from the word go, wtih the hit singles Country Girl and Dolls giving a real insight into the album. Not to mention the bluesyness of Suicide Sally and Johnny Guitar..i think we know who that song may be dedicated to..

    Elsewhere, the specials guets (Warren Ellis, Will Sergent, Alison Mosshart) all shine, imparticular Will on the strong, guitar heavy "When the Bomb Drops. Another album highly.

    I close by saying..

    This another top Primal Scream album. Thats all you need to know really. [...]

    5 out of 5 stars great dumb rock.......2006-09-25

    I have been looking forward to this one for a long time. I saw Primal Scream play a few years ago in San Francisco. It was an okay show. The audience was there to see Underworld. I ran into Bobby Gillespie at a show at the Hollywood Bowl. I guess he was in town mixing the record with Dave Sardy. This record is a back to basics. There are no electronics. No Stooges meet Krautrock. No mixes by Kevin Shields. The lineup of the band is a little different. It's a little raw and a little like Exile on Main Street. This is in evidence with the first single "Country Girl." This is country rock in high style. "Nitty Gritty" is more Stones influenced rock. One of the best songs is "Suicide Sally & Johnny Guitar." Roots rock meets hard rock. "We're Gonna Boogie" reminds me of The Kills. Alison Mosshart from the Kills sings on a few songs. "Dolls" is a real glam rock song. This is a pretty good record. It's a great mix of roots rock, Stones obsessions, and good old time rock and roll. There is no electronic weirdness and sound collages. This is a party album. It should go down well. Bobby Gillespie was sort of obscure a few years ago. But with the help of the Internet, he is like considered one of the coolest people ever.

    4 out of 5 stars Great CD, Combining the Best Elelemts of the Group's Past Work.......2006-09-10

    With tracks that range from country-esque to stompin' crankers, this CD is well worth the money. While the music is diverse, almost every track stands on its own.

    A huge fan of "Sreamadelica" back in the day, I nearly gave up on the band after the "Vanishing Point" CD, and I viewed "EXTRMNTR" as a very uneven work (flashes of brilliance intermixed with headache-inducing nonsense). But if you liked "Give Out But Don't Give Up" (I love that CD), then you should be happy with this one. Again, very diverse stuff, but rock solid all aound.

    4 out of 5 stars love the way this band never stands still..........2006-08-12

    there's very few bands that can shift gears quite like Primal Scream. from Screamadelica to Give Out... to XTRMNTR, these guys are always changing their spots. Riot City Blues leans mostly towards Give Out...(minus the P-Funk influence) with its "Rocks Off" attitude, yet still has a sound all its own. Standout tracks: Suicide Sally, Little Death, 99th Floor and
    the New York Dolls nod Sweet Rock n'Roll...

    2 out of 5 stars From Progressive to Regressive........2006-08-05

    This is far the worst album from english previously called progressive alt-rock band. The only two songs that matters here with some signs of their past work are When The Bomb Drops and Little Death. Everything else is a silly honky tonky rock'n roll that has not far from Country American Music.

    5 out of 5 stars Amazing! 2nd best in my Opinion! FFAF rock so much!.......2006-06-23

    This CD is so good and is their second best in front of hours. This years most open heartbreak is my favourite song by them and also of all time by anyone. It is so amazing along with the rest of the CD and every song period by them. FFAF are easily my favourite band and they will never turn into a bad one.
    AWESOME and soooooooo GOOD!
    5 stars

    5 out of 5 stars Their best to date.......2005-11-17

    FFAF's recent albums are definately less aggressive than this, which
    I think has been detrimental to their popularity/respect in the indie scene, going off on a tangent sorry. Every song on Seven Ways... is awsome. Great riffs, melody, rythm, and at times good lyrics. It was a mistake to re-record a lot of the songs on this album for later releases, the sound of Seven Ways... was what they should of stuck with.

    5 out of 5 stars Seven Songs Five Stars.......2005-08-06

    Funeral for a Friend's "Seven ways to Scream Your Name" is a masterpiece. That's it, a masterpiece, that you must check out right now. Also it's an EP. Every song is awesome but Red is the New Black, Escape artist Never Die, Kiss and Makeup, and Getaway Plan are the better of the seven songs. I do not regret spending money on this CD, neither will you.

    5 out of 5 stars This isn't an EP, it's a masterwork........2005-06-23

    I don't care about they EP's usually suck rule. This is the best EP I have ever heard! It surpasses everything they have done past this. It's just an awesome cd!
    Go pick it up at FYE for 11 bucks if you like hardcore or emocore or the like. it's a steal of a purchase. Even though there's only 7 tracks on here, every track is truly a dream.
    I cant think of much bad about this album.
