Music reviews of Still Burning
Music Review: Great Record!
Rating: 5 Stars
I always love artists who change slightly and still sound fresh with each album, but always retain those intangible elements that made you like them in the first place. I really like Scott's last solo album, "Bring Em All In" a lot, and "Still Burning" is of a similar quality, although as others have said he goes back to a bigger, fuller, more Waterboys-ish sound with this work. The songwriting is top notch, and as usual with Scott, covers a wide range of emotions and subjects. Another thing I really like is the production quality of this album--it has a bit of a rough edge--it almost sounds like these guys have set up the band in your living room! Unfortunately, in this era of sterile, overproduced recordings of soulless, crude, ignorant artists (Eminem, Limp Bizkit and numerous teen/boy bands), there's not enough artists putting out great music like Mike Scott.
Description of Still Burning
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.All the promise of Mike Scott's former band, the Waterboys, is realized on his second solo release. With an open heart and an electric guitar, Scott creates his most personal and impassioned album to date. A disc that displays a complete lack of irony, Still Burning paints him as a natural mystic and spiritual seeker who worships rock & roll. Like fellow traveler Bob Dylan, Scott lords over a full-on rock sound with a timeless quality that proves that after all these years the fire's still burning. --Kevin Cole
When former Waterboy Mike Scott wrote "The Whole of the Moon" (it appears on the group's This is the Sea) he assured his place in songwriter heaven. If nothing on Still Burning achieves the grandeur of that masterpiece, there are still gems aplenty here. Scott remains a bastion of passion and honesty. His Dylan-esque delivery tempers near purple prose into songs so seamless that it is easy to miss how good they are. Too, the Arthurian, religious, and romantic imagery is grounded by the soulful grooves of session wizards Pino Palladino and Jim Keltner, and the raw guitar of Chris Bruce. In short, they rock. The Waterboys were never afraid of the grand gesture, and Scott retains that bravado. You want long orchestral codas ("Love Anyway")? Raging leads ripping through a tribute to Hendrix ("King Electric")? A device song like "Open" where each line begins with "Open to..." would be gimmicky in the hands of a lesser songwriter, but Scott's sense of harmony saves the day. -- Michael Ross
