Music reviews of Under the Big Black Sun
Music Review: Breathtaking
Rating: 5 Stars
X, the quintessential American band, really put it all together with this collection of songs. The band shows off its ease with a diversity of styles and its excellent musicianship, while still writing gripping lyrics. John and Exene's vocal harmonies are the personification of the all the great and horrible possibilities of romantic relationships. As noted previously, the writing and recording of this work was greatly affected by the death of Exene's sister in an automobile accident. If this work stands as a tribute to her, there aren't any greater tributes one can receive.

Title: UNDER THE BIG BLACK SUN
Street Release Date: 09/18/2001
Genre: ROCK/POP
By the time the title track's triumphant riff chime-growls out midway through Under the Big Black Sun, the listener has already been through the most wrenching sequence of X songs yet assembled. After the thumping bike-club anthem "The Hungry Wolf" opens this 1982 major-label debut, its tough-ass romanticism is quickly plowed under by memories of a motel bed "with rubber sheets" and two heartrending songs about Exene Cervenka's sister Mirielle, who'd been killed in a car crash. In fact, even without "Blue Spark," this would easily qualify as the group's most indigo record yet; the second half offers a lovingly surf-music-tinged remake of an old Tin Pan Alley tune, "Dancing with Tears in My Eyes" and "The Have Nots," whose alcohol-soaked social comment clings so fiercely to mournfulness that hardly a wisp of punk anger can take hold. Rootsier than X's previous albums, Sun updates noirish dread with guitar wisdom. This remaster includes five bonus tracks, including the original mix of their Jerry Lee Lewis cover "Breathless." --Rickey Wright
