Music reviews of Frantic

Music Review: It's Not Old, It'sTimeless
Rating: 5 Stars

1. I disagree with the use of "it sounds like the 80's" in a pejorative way. What on earth does that mean? it sounds like the 80's, when we know that technology controls much of the sound of any specific time. So maybe the technology has not changed that much but the actual songs, arrangements etc. are not really representative of that period.

2. What on earth does it sounds old mean? First of all Ferry has always been somewhat of a sentimental ( fool )nostalgic songwriter. If you don't like this kind of mood or sentiment why, oh why do you listen to any of Ferry's music???. As far as the performances and the actual songwriting goes, it all sounds vital and timeless. When you reach perfection there is no place else to go!!.

3. My god! the man is almost 60. How many near 60 year old men could come up with something this cool. Ferry sounds dated? He sounds hipper than any of the current 20-30 year olds on the current scene.

4. I think People are missing the point of the title Frantic. Of course we don't expect 58 year old Bryan Ferry to make Frantic music. But just because his public persona is that of a carefree, cucumber cool man of the world he still lives like the rest of us in the postmodern age of anxiety. He may be frantic in his real life, he may act the way he does and produce the kind of music he does in order to TRANSCEND a frantic inner life instead of acting it out like a punk rocker might.

Songs:
1. Ferry has always seemed to me to be a combination of Elvis Physical/Sensual Genius and Bob Dylans Spirtual/Intelectual Genius. Perfect Example here. This is quite simply a great version of a great song. Dated? Old? HUH?
2. Great use of The word Buffalo
3. Freddy King and Jeff Beck have also covered this song.
4. The chorus almost hits Duran Durans Hungry like the Wolf but shifts before it could be plaigarism.
5. Another great performance of a great song. Love that Harmonica
6. One of my favorite songs, vintage Ferry sentiment and alot of fun as well.
7. Perfect intro to Fool For Love
8. Another fantastic pop song and the Harmonica/Guitar intrumental passage is simply exquisite.
9. My least favorite thing here but fine in context.
10. Another perfect pop song. Arty and accesible. Great piano melody on chorus.
11. Reminds me of "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" from the For you Pleasure album. Like Cocteaus dream world of Beauty and The Beast.
12. Great Pop song. Love the line "Well thats mighty rough"
13. Great Lyrics and Great Eno. Every time the harmonica is played on this CD I get chills down my spine.

THIS IS A GREAT ALBUM AND A TIMELESS ONE. BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR EASILY.
