I've been following Joseph religiously for over a decade, and this album is the only one of his which I didn't immediately connect with. Firstly, there's just so much to digest (24 songs- the longest of which clocks in at over 11 minutes). Secondly, it is a sharp, almost violent departure turn from his last album- it's extremely esoteric and is in no way immediately accessible to even his most avid listeners. But the more I play this album, the more I find it increasingly fascinating.

Interestingly enough, I had the same initial reactions to Tusk. There was just SO much material to absorb- and the material was jagged and hard to swallow... so utterly different from what I knew Fleetwood Mac to be. But I never could stop listening to Tusk. Random songs or even lyrics alone would stay in my mind days afterwards, and I'd have to play the album again. Tusk went on to become probably my all time fav album. It utterly changed how I viewed music, opened up endless new horizons for my appreciation of music, my definition of beauty, and what types of music I would actively seek out in the future. I feel like Joseph Arthur's Redemption City might just end up having a similar effect on me.

So this album is probably way too "out there" for most Ledgies, but here's my fav cut as of this moment from Redemption City:

Because you took the time to write such an extensive review I was compelled to listen. I thought it was just going to be a pleasant instrumental track for a minute or two and then the singing started. It was a very relaxing 6 minutes. I can see why you like this so much. Thank you, Louie.

No, but compared to the masterpieces she once released, it's still pretty bad

I have been on a very random Marianne Faithfull kick lately:

For some reason, the song doesn't actually begin until the 25 second mark on this video.

Tears for Fears-The Seeds of Love (1989). One of the best Pop/Rock bands of the 80's. Their follow up album to mega successful "Songs From The Big Chair" didn't produce too many hits yet it's even better. I love that big production approach on this album. Songs like "Woman In Chains", "The Badman's Song" and "Advice For The Young At Heart" rank among the best songs they've ever crafted.
