Music reviews of Stranded
Music Review: almost
Rating: 4 Stars
I don't know guys- I feel Roxy Music's songwriting isn't that great this time around. You have "Psalm" which musically doesn't offer a whole lot to me. Just a slow build up and nice lyrics that repeat more or less the same vocal melody for eight minutes. Occasionally some instrumental chops are thrown in the background, but they aren't enough to interest me, I'm afraid. I guess the lead singer wanted to showcase his skills on this track. THAT he did, but not to my liking personally.
In fact the entire album sounds like a passable warm up until Country Life is made. That's a better album as far as songwriting and experimental ideas working correctly goes. Still, Stranded has a few nice moments, mostly from the shorter songs. I DO love "Mother of Pearl". You simply cannot forget a chorus like that! In fact one time I was humming the chorus while vacuuming my entire downstairs (living room, kitchen and den- the three most important rooms in my house). Also "Amazona" rules a LOT.
Just know the first two Roxy Music albums, along with Country Life, are a LOT better than Stranded.
