Music reviews of Only Visiting This Planet [30th Year Anniversary Edition]
Music Review: At least the Devil doesn't have ALL the good music..
Rating: 5 Stars
Every musician (and/or songwriter) who is a follower of Jesus, should be made to hear this album in its entirety. Hurry, before you publish another song!
And, if you aren't a follower, perhaps jaded by the Western Civilisation/TV preacher brand of Christianity, then this CD is perfect for you too!
Larry wrote songs very deliberately, and when questioned intelligently, gives an answer for the why, when, who, etc, of his motivation.
This is part of the Trilogy, so the number of songs, their order, their message, the overall albums message fits like a puzzle with the other two albums before and after it. When asked why he was so literary with this projects, Larry has been quoted as saying, (I'm paraphrasing), God is very deliberate about creation, its order, its tremendous detail, shouldn't we be moreso as artists?
In a Dylaneque manner, Normans aural painting displays his keen sense of the modern world, the human condition, that still packs a punch of relevancy unequalled by "top" selling albums of today. Every song stands up. No filler. This type of songwriting has been all but lost in todays music industry, secular or Christian. Its hard to get, & probably will cost you more than $13.99, its well worth it.
Buy the album, read the liner notes, cancel all of your appointments, turn it up and listen.
Description of Only Visiting This Planet [30th Year Anniversary Edition]
For my money this must be one of the most impressive albums ever made. With this concept album Larry wrote about contemporary issues and the Son. One glance at the contents reveals the quality of this album; it reads like a genuine 'best of collection with 'The Outlaw", "Why Don't You Look Into Jesus", "Righteous Rocker No.1", "I Wish We'd All Been Ready", "The Great American Novel", "Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music", "Readers Digest" all on the original 1972 release, whilst the first of the four CD bonus tracks is the 1971 single "Peacepollutionrevolution". There's not a weak song to be found amongst these 15 tracks and as usual a number of different styles are explored from the lush orchestral ballads "I've Got To Learn To Live Without You" and "I Wish We'd All Been Ready" to the haunting and provocative "Pardon Me" to the primal 50's rock'n'roll of "Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music", the countrified "Righteous Rocker" and the blues/rap of the Dylanesque "Readers Digest".
