Music reviews of Punch

Music Review: Be Careful
Rating: 2 Stars

Thile and Nickel Creek fans beware! Before purchasing this CD I highly recommend you read the reviews here and listen to samples or whole pieces if you can. As other reviewers, both 5 stars and 1 stars, have said this is largely atonal music. I do take umbrage with those reviewers who say it is for "sophisticated" listeners. Language like that, and other similar statements, implies a hierarchy of listeners. Some very "sophisticated" muscians and listeners do not like atonal music. They may appreciate the quality of the writing, they may understand what the composer was trying to accomplish but at the end of the day they may not want to listen to it in their home. A much better statement would be that it might be, or not be, your cup of tea. While the musicianship displayed by the band members was excellent and I do understand the quality of the compositions at the end of the day I am not putting this one in my CD player. So, I guess I must be unsophisticated because it was not my cup of tea.

Description of Punch

The Punch Brothers are nothing less than a youthful band comprising the most prodigious and sought-after musicians from the cutting edge of bluegrass and folk music. The quintet was brought together by former Nickel Creek star Chris Thile, who, the critic Geoffrey Himes of Washington Post declared, "may well be the most virtuosic American ever to play the mandolin "- adding, not insignificantly, that "he has the flirtatious charisma of a major pop star." Joining him are Chris Eldridge, who Acoustic Guitar has called "the most-talked-about guitarist in the bluegrass world," a member of The Infamous Stringdusters and occasional guest star with dad Ben's legendary combo, The Seldom Scene; bassist Greg Garrison, who has recorded with John Scofield and Vasser Clements, among many others, and regularly sits in with Leftover Salmon; banjo player Noam Pikelny, an alumnus of Leftover Salmon and the John Cowan Band who also appears on label-mate K.D. Lang's new disc, Watershed; and fiddle player Gabe Witcher, "a first-call studio player with a big sound and immaculate intonation," according to String magazine, who has been featured, on the Oscar-winning soundtracks of Babel and Brokeback Mountain, among countless other films.
