Music reviews of In Bright Mansions

Music Review: This is disgracful!!!
Rating: 1 Stars

Now I've seen the reviews loving this cd but the fact that no one has yet to critize this cd just shows how little people actually know about Negro spirituals. First let me say I love negro sprituals so much, but this must be a JOKE! Where's that barbaric like passion for the gospel?

I keep looking for it but all I get is a glee club.

Also are they trying to pass off "Down by the riverside" as a negro spiritual? It's not, it's a civil rights song NOT a negro spiritual.

Though the songs are negro spirituals they qualities that make them negro spirituals are gone. Notice how they are sung on very high notes, negro sportuals are sung on low notes. There only one explination for this... they've been infuenced by european culture.

Another thing I've notice is that they SOUND calm. When you hear a true negro spiritual, the people singing AREN'T CALM! They scream, hoop, and holler, they squall, dance, squat, jump, leap, and belt the song out with ALL THEY'RE MIGHT! (That's what I mean by a barbaric like passion).

These people on the cd sound like they're singing because they have to, and that's SAD.

I've also notice how so many negro spirituals how negro spirtuals are becomining more feminine when they were once very masculine which might exlain why many negro spirituals today are are mostly sung by WOMEN when traditionaly they were sung by MEN and if they are sung by men they sing it very femininly, which futher concludes that the black church has and is becoming more feminine.

Last, is how fast the songs are sung (or how slow), whether by a bit or a lot, it's takes the beauty away from the songs and how they're orginally sung.

It's so sad that no one knows how to sing a negro spirituals, let alone know how it's supposed to be sung, people please don't waste your money.
