Come again? Which album is being reviewed here?
Posted by David Hepworth on 26 July 2008 - 8:22pm.
"Musically, this is probably *****'s finest record, a rare coming together of inspiration, desire and talent that completely fuse strength, vision and art.
****** is the greatest singer of our times. No one is better. No one, in objective fact, is even very close. His versatility and vocal skills are unmatched. His resonance and feeling are beyond those of any of his contemporaries. More than his ability with words, and more than his insight, his voice is God's greatest gift to him."

I would hope and pray
that its Al Green. I could accept Van Morrison. But, given the title of the post I'll plump for David Sylvian.
Is it
Bucks Fizz: The Lost Masters Volume 2?
A Wild Guess
Is it "Slow Train Coming" by Bob Dylan?
Got to be Dylan
If they are over-egging the singing....
It was...
...I cheated (back of the class etc.)! It's simply extraordinary- I've rarely seen that level of fawning in a 'professional' review. I quite like that album as it happens but it's not THAT good!
Double post...
Double post...
Less a review, more an arse licking..
.. is it Mike Read reviewing a Cliff Richard album?
I'm lazy
"Faith is the message. Faith is the point. Faith is the key to understanding this record. Faith is finally all we have."
It's from a magazine I don't ever read, from an artist who's god-like status drives me in the opposite direction. This review is not the artist's fault.
Just don't ever get like that in The Word. Remember these 3 letters; F-U-N.
An enjoyable record can be akin to a meal of high cuisine. Makes you feel great when you have eaten it. But would you want the same meal every night? A duff record is one that gives your wind.
I'll go for Dylan
Sounds like the kind of thing that's been written about his recent stuff.
Could also be a certain Word blog poster banging on about RT.
I assume
thats Richard Thompson and not the mighty Randy Travis you are referring too...
Is this a new game....
If so how about this one......
"Not since Dylan's 'Positively 4th St.", have I been so inspired to find love, start a revolution and start believing again. A ******* see's *** and *** share a unique bond, carried through various genres.
The anti-folk track "****" is so complex and mind warping that it can only be compared to a night on acid at an anti-globalisation rally. The experimental hip-hop freeflow from *** on "****s" is intense and is magically complimented with **** backing vocals.
This truly is a magical piece of art that will forever hold pride of place in my music collection. *** compliments **** in a manner that has not been seen since Johnny Cash and June Carter last appeared together. Lyrically, this album will send you on a whirlwind of emotions, keep you second-guessing yourself and inspire you to fight for what you believe in.
The strong opener "*****" is an epic masterpeice that draws the listener into a variety of emotions and is a very visual, dramatic song. It's hard to imagine anyone else with the musical authority and personal sass to hold up half of "*****" with **** ****. But hold-up half is exactly what **** **** did, providing the perfect foil on this and twelve other duets. Together new magical couple of the music industry laid down interpersonal fireworks on "*****" and eloquently essayed the depth of their love with "****" looking beyond the confines of traditional duets to find truly spiritual music a la Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Kris Kristofferson, Tupac Shakur and John Lennon.
A must have."
Just submit it...
...through the usual channels.
Not mine
The joys of the "masses" reviewing on Amazon.
The answer is...
...it's Bob Dylan's "Slow Train Coming" reviewed by Jann Wenner in Rolling Stone in 1979.
My favourite bit. . .
is "in objective fact", as if he had an ISO-calibrated greatsingingometer.
Commoner
Oh how i wish you were right.Wouldn't it be a refreshing change.
Saying that,without tempting fate,the RT mafia have been quiet of late.Long may it continue.
