TV On The Radio

TV On The Radio – “Staring At The Sun”

Scott Wherle – Associate Editor/Comics Editor: A good single for me constitutes something I can listen to endlessly, hitting the repeat button immediately after the final strum, beat or other assorted musical noise. I barely made it through one listen of this. The monotonous, droning hook that goes nowhere, along with annoyingly overdubbed lead vocal tracks made it a painful experience from the opening notes. I guess I just don’t “get” this kind of music, because it surely wasn’t made for me. (1/5)

Jason Jump – Writer: This track seems to start off slow, but then you realize… it’s just not going anywhere. Throughout it seems to be building up to something and you’re bracing yourself for a face-melting guitar hook but all you ever get is some drum machine. Color me disappointed. (1.5/5)

Kristin Clark – Advertising And Promotions: Nice, sleek track. Stellar, actually. This just screams talent–the production, writing and execution. I hope these guys are one of the bands that have a long career ahead of them. (4.5/5)

Nathan Lind –Associate Editor/Music Editor: TV On The Radio is one of those bands you’ll either really love or really hate. They challenge people’s perceptions about what rock music is and/or can be. For me, this is a song that gets better each time you listen. The hooks may not be immediate and forward, but I always can catch something new that I might have missed before. I like songs that reveal themselves to me the more time I spend with them. (4/5)

Elliott Smith

Elliott Smith – “A Distorted Reality Is Now A Necessity To Be Free”

Jason: Yet another singer songwriter being heralded as a post-mortem genius. There’s nothing special about this song, and there are plenty of better singer/songwriters with oodles of better material. (1.5/5)

Kristin: I have to preface this to say I’m not an Elliott Smith fan. But I swear there’s a bit of glam I detect. I wasn’t expecting that. Works for me. It’s beautiful and simple. (4/5)

Nathan: Jason, Jason, Jason…you need to realize that Elliott had many people who thought he was a genius BEFORE he died! =) While sudden and/or tragic death does seem to elevate people’s musical careers (both in regards to record sales and talent level), it’s too early to speculate here. In regards to the song, musically it’s nothing spectacular. Lyrically though, it’s an alternating mix of vengeful spite and heartbreak that gives me chills. I’m sure part of that has to do with his untimely passing, but this whole song sounds like a cry for help that ultimately, never was answered. (3.5/5)

Scott: I’m hit or miss with Elliott. XO was brilliant, but some of his other material has left me wanting. On first listen, I was ready to pass this one off with a simple, “Meh.” A few more listens and it’s growing on me. Still not wowed, though. (2.5/5)

Prodigy

Prodigy – “Girls”

Kristin: I think I figured out what happened to Prodigy since we last heard from them. They got locked in a time machine! (1/5)

Nathan: Heh. This does sound very 1997. It’s kind of sad that all this time has passed; yet Prodigy hasn’t moved forward with their sound. This is a horrible choice for a first single. They need(ed) something to exclaim their return, in the vein of “Firestarter”, and not B-Boy 80s rap. I don’t see any new Prodigy fans being won over by this song and the old ones will probably be scared away. (1/5)

Scott: Having first been exposed to Prodigy via The Fat of the Land, I guess I was spoiled on the interaction between frontmen Keith Flint and Maxim. Though I like the beats here, and would surely shake it on the dance floor, I’m missing their presence. Doesn’t feel like a Prodigy song to me. (2.5/5)

Jason: I’m not a big hip-hop fan, or whatever you want to call this, but it isn’t bad despite having no real lyrical content, which is something I’ll never understand. This seems like an odd merger of the Sugar Hill Gang and Ray Parker Jr. on crack accompanied by electronic beats and noise. Nothing I’d listen to on repeat, but not bad either. (2.5/5)

Local H

Local H – “California Songs”

Nathan: its too bad Local H was dropped from their old label, because this is the kind of song that would make them huge again. Catchy, anthemic, and bratty as hell. Good stuff. (4.5/5)

Scott: When did Local H start channeling the Offspring? (1.5/5)

Jason: This song totally throws me back to early Offspring. Of the five, this song rocks the hardest, and is certainly the most fun. Me rikey. (4/5)

Kristin: One of those tracks you put on when you’re getting ready to go out. I like how the beginning makes you anticipate the chorus. When it does kick in, you’re hooked! What more could you ask for? (5/5)

Rilo Kiley Small

Rilo Kiley – “It’s A Hit”

Scott: Now this is more like it! Rilo Kiley, where have you been all my life? Biting lyrics, vocals delivered with just an ounce of sassy sexiness, all on top of a sugary sweet guitar hook. Reminds me of what I loved so much about the mid-90s surge of female fronted modern rockers. I think I’m in love. (5/5)

Jason: I didn’t hate “The Execution of all Things” which is the only other RK song I’ve heard, but honestly, when I hear a song like this, it’s usually some prim, 20-something chick opening a local show, and I’m generally sitting in the back making fun and rolling my eyes. Drop the cutesy, and starting singing instead of speaking your songs. Sha-bop sha-bop shut-up. (0.5/5)

Kristin: This. Is. So. Monotonous. The use of horns is a turnoff. What? I…um…..zzzzzzzzzzzz (0/5)

Nathan: They’ve glossed up their sound somewhat from the last record with the horns. I like how singer Jenny Lewis’s voice is cutesy, yet full of rage. You almost miss what she’s singing about because you get so caught up in the melodies (and her love of curse words). This song probably won’t be the hit for Rilo Kiley like the title proclaims, but it’s not a bad tune. Still, I’ve heard better from them in the past. (2.5/5)

Let's hear what you have to say.....
