Music reviews of Turbo Ocho (W/Dvd) (Dig)
Music Review: Done on the fly, and we have a winner!!!
Rating: 5 Stars
This record/DVD combo just proves what Roger, PH, Steve & Nick (as well as producer Clif Norrell & unofficial 5th member Jason Boots) have at their core...pure greatness...after stepping outside their comfort zone and putting creative pressure on themselves...just to see if it could be done, success or failure...
The task...go down to Cholla Bay, Mexico, set up shop in a house, bring a portable studio...and do 8 songs in 8 days, everything from creation to arranging, recording as a band, mix and master, 1 song per day, from morning to night...and they gosh darn pulled it off!!!
I still think their prior album, "No More Beautiful World" was their best, and this is almost as great. Some cool and unexpected new directions, and it's really fresh. Here's the breakdown:
1-- "I Speak Your Language"...a cool, albeit typical, Roger pop tune, relaxing and upbeat and breezy and catchy.
2-- "State Of The Art"...really creative and complex...this gave Steve a migraine headache woking out the parts...but totally satisfying and melodic...
3-- "I Know You Know"...killer loud powerpop!!! Sorta like Tom Petty meets Cheap Trick meets AC/DC...yes really...for some reason, the chorus reminds me of "Cigarette Dangles" by Canucks ThePursuitOfHappiness...it's all good.
4-- "Summer #39"...atmospheric alt-country...with a haunting dobro slide part by Steve...done spontaneously and awesomely.
5-- "Mercy"...whatta song!!! Has a hook that hits you between the eyes, and a great, passionate vocal by Roger...one of RCPM's finest moments, easily.
6-- "I Can Drink The Water"...very cool, jammy but catchy, War-like tune, with a complex arrangement and bilingual lyrics...sounds like tough one to work out, but they did it...written on a boat on the ocean...sure sounds like it!!!
7-- "I Do"...sorta like a cousin of "I Know You Know"...loud powerpop that kicks arse!!!
8-- "Persephone"...see "Summer #39", but solo and Steve adding atmospherics.
More tunes added: 9-- "Manana"...a party tune that started as a goof in Day 5's closing video...never meant to be a song at all, until the band got requests to turn it into a song, so they did, and it's fun fun fun.
10-- "Captain Suburbia"...a holdover from NMBW that fits better here...Roger's kids sing harmony on the "Hey Now" part...a catchy tune that grew on me.
11-- "Mexicosis"...another holdover, first featured on their iTunes-only EP "Four Unlike Before"...it's a catchy but quirky ditty that grew on me as well.
Now, that's not all...along with this 11-track platter of greatness, a Jason Boots shot-and-edited DVD is included, documenting the whole "Turbo Ocho" experience, broadcast over the internet as "Vivacasts", and then some...this sucker is over 2 1/2 HOURS long!!!! Talk about value for money, and you see Roger & the guys in their element and having fun, plus interviews and some footage from their JJ's Cantina show in Rocky Point, after "Turbo Ocho" was finished.
It all cements RCPM"s greatness, period.
