Music reviews of Real Feelness
Music Review: Choppin' guitars like cordwood!
Rating: 5 Stars
Don't hate me for doing comparisons but The Pattern a bit like Green Day in their purity, brevity and drive. Each song is lucky to makeit to three minutes, listening to the whole CD feels like about 20 minutes total, you put the thing in, listen to about 5 tracks (seems like), it's done. Like Green Day The Pattern come off on CD as a great live act, you can really hear in the music the bone rattling energy their live show must surely be. The guitar work by The Pattern really make them stand out and there's some real smokin'-wheelie axe work going on here, they propel the music forward like some punk-rock Bullit. I'd guess a Pattern/Foo Fighters tour would be about as close to Rock Nirvana (no pun intended) as one could get.
Shouldn't compare yet-again but the singer's vocals were a dead-ringer for the dude from Harvey Danger, which is fine by me I like that stuff, but they're very punky/garage-band sounding vocals (Sunny Day Real Estate), just to give you an idea.
Highly recommended, I hope I haven't turned anyone off by comparing them to people they may think are lame, comparison's can be very helpful if someone knows who to use.
Really great stuff.
Description of Real Feelness
Oakland CA's THE PATTERN deliver a rattle and shake all their own and they've set their sites on the world. Having shared stages with THE STROKES, X, THE DONNAS and others, THE PATTERN have honed their chaotic, sweat-soaked live show. They also have two tours of the UK, festival appearances and numerous US tours behind them. In April 2002 the band headed into San Francisco's Tiny Telephone Studios with veteran producer Alex Newport (ICARUS LINE, AT THE DRIVE-IN, THE MARS VOLTA) to record their highly anticipated debut album. Titled Real Feelness, the album is a fully realized statement of THE PATTERN's intent and mission. Over a bed of driving guitars, swirling bass and swinging drums, singer Christopher Appelgren delivers his skewed and slightly surreal view of the world. The band delivers a crashing, soulful version of rock'n'roll, without pretense and without irony, informed by their love of punk, garage rock and stomping soul. Real Feelness is the substance of life: love and lust, heartache and tragedy; the search for truth without compromise. Standout tracks include "Fragile Awareness," "She's A Libra" and "The Best Hate The Rest."General CDs
