Music reviews of Philip Glass - Songs from Liquid Days
Music Review: Hate to be a hater, but I really need to add to the minority here
Rating: 2 Stars
definitely the worst Glass I've heard
I get the idea - bring classical music to the masses through pop arrangement.
the first track is probably the most successful
I don't think I've ever heard Glass write a better melody
the lyrics are excellent. Paul Simon makes the track vague without being fluff.
the vocal production is terribly 80's, which makes the entrance of the voice really awkward and makes it seem out of place.
it's a bit drawn out and the melodic doubling with the flute is terribly cheesy
but not as cheesy as "Lightning"
if you thought the synths were embarrassing
just wait for the drums
the music to just about everything else is mostly forgettable, either regular Glass stuff or, even worse, when he doesn't rely on his rhythmic ideas and tries to focus on melody and harmony, like on the truly terrible "Open the Kingdom"
the lyrics for "Liquid Days (Part 1)" deserve special mention. David Bryne really nails what Glass is trying to do with the music: it's na?ve and complex at the same time. Suzanne Vega's lyrics on "Freezing" are cool. The Roches deliver the best vocal performances on the album wherever they show up.
so, aside from a few lyrics and the first song, I see this album as alternately forgettable and horrible.
any of Glass' work from the 70's or even the 80's is preferable to this.
