Influenced by New York punk bands like the Ramones and Dictators, as well as by traditional heavy metal ensembles, Twisted Sister created brash, simple songs that buzzed with subversive energy, giving the band the appeal of bad-boy cartoon characters. Their third album, Stay Hungry, featured the classic rebel anthem "We're Not Gonna Take It" as well as more uptempo tracks like "Burn in Hell" and "S.M.F." (which, in true metal fashion, stands for "Sick Motherfucker"). No one disputes Twisted Sister's competence level. Simply put, they couldn't play well enough to save their five-year recording career, but frontman Dee Snider's outrageous stage presence and accidentally hilarious lyrics ensured that their time in the limelight was thoroughly entertaining. --Jon Wiederhorn

Can't really explain why I'm tinto these guys since I'm primarilly into Hip Hop but I grew up on their videos!

5 out of 5 stars Don't Knock It Until You've Tried It!!!!.......2007-02-15

You know, it's funny. Most of the people I've run into who trash Twisted Sister do so not so much b/c of the music, but the image. I myself was at one time guilty of this. But if you can move beyond the hideous make-up/costumes and the fact that the band only take themselves seriously about half the time, then you'll discover a truly underappreciated classic in Stay Hungry. TS' music is not about complex song structures or virtuoso musicianship. It's just good, clean and straightforward hard rockin fun, and that is something that is sorely missing in today's music. While the image is a mix of shock rock (Alice Cooper) and glam (New York Dolls), the music is more akin to early speed metal and NWOBHM. And while the songs are consistently hard and heavy, you may be suprised by the level of melodic content that exists as well. Dee Snider, for instance, may not be on the level of vocal gods like Dio, Halford, Dickinson, etc. but he is by far a capable singer and his lyrics are even quite intelligent at times. It should also be noted that the vast majority of the material is written by Mr. Snider alone. Anyway, give Stay Hungry a try. Get over your obsession with expecting music (especially metal) to always be serious and technically impressive, and then sit back and enjoy a solid set of classic metal anthems.

5 out of 5 stars Holy Crap! Forgot all about this one!.......2006-10-03

I had this casette way back when. I was a juvenile rocker when it came out, I was young and dumb and embarrassingly goofy. Now I'm almost 40 and listen to a very wide variety of music. I happened to be at a friend's house and saw that he had this CD. I played it and couldn't believe the A+ songs on it. I'd always remembered Twisted Sister as some sort of gimmicky glam band that I'd listened to as a child.

I still think "We're not Gonna Take It" is a bit over the top, but "Burn in Hell" and "I Wanna Rock" are rock solid songs. "Stay Hungry" reminded me of Y&T - and I rate Dave Meniketti as one of the greatest. "The Price" is an achingly ripping ballad. What vocals!

Well, I didn't skip through any of the songs (at the friend's house) and I bought the CD from Amazon 2 days later. This one only got better with age.

4 out of 5 stars My very first album.......2006-09-24

This was my very first album I got when I was like 5 years old as a kid in the 80s. Whether it's their hilarously chessey music videos or their gruesome appearance, I still kept a morbid curiosity interest in Twisted Sister to this day and last night saw Dee Snider sing on TV. Dee Snider is a big celebrity and actually I think he has pretty decent taste, if only their videos didn't date so bad. This contains a number of classic tracks like the itle track, We're Not Gonna Take It, Burn in Hell, The Beast and S.M.F. While the band may be unintentionally funny, the music works not only as a nostalgia trip but for Dee Snider's celebrity come back, coming off as bad bone Christian metal without being corny about it like Stryper. Yes, Dee Snider testified at the PMRC hearing that he's a Christian believe or not, and I've been attending church regularly lately so know for a fact that that is true. Take it with some self depricating humor because Dee Snider made a comeback in the late 90s and is still a big star.

5 out of 5 stars Stay Hungry (1984).......2006-09-01

While many people know Twisted Sister best, for "We're Got Gonna Take it" and "I Wanna Rock", they had more to offer than just those two songs. Stay Hungry is a very solid metal album. This is one of those albums that demands to be played loud. From the opener "Stay Hungry" through "S.M.F." the album never gets dull. Besides the obivious hits other highlights include the title track, The Price, Horror Teria, Don't Let Me Down, but the album as a whole is very enjoyable. It's to bad that they couldn't maintain their popularity after Stay Hungry, cause Twisted Sister was actually a pretty good band. This album deserves a spot in any reall rock n roll collection.

4 out of 5 stars Rasta-punkian?.......2007-06-27

I thought that their first album would be pure punk and was slightly suprised to hear reggae music interjected between groups of songs. It gives the album a nice contrast but I'm not a big fan of reggae. I get the fact that both types of music have anti-authoritarian ideals, but it may be awhile before I decide to buy any more of their albums. Different Class Harmonica

5 out of 5 stars PMA Mofo's.......2007-04-19

This is the real stuff right here. The Godfathers of hardcore. It was the craziest and fastest album of its time. The songs still influence till this day. They invented the breakdown, listen to Right Brigade... I want to show that to every kung-fu dancing emo jerk to teach them what real hardcore is. Banned in D.C. has the best intro to any song ever... nuff said. Filled with energy and positivity, this is a must have in any collection.

5 out of 5 stars great stuff.......2007-02-05

So i got this cd on friday having only heard the song soul craft and at first i was a little dissapointed because it was nothing like i expected, but i listened to it a few more times and i love it if youre into any punk or hardcore this is a must have

5 out of 5 stars i still have a tape deck in my car.......2006-12-10

and this goes in whenever the cd player runs out of batteries. who knows what punk really is and i'm not looking for an arguement about the subject but the people who say they like "punk" and listen to avril lavinge (spelling?) should have a copy of this record thrown at them from a moving car. this record, i think is their very best, the fastest record i've ever heard, even bad brains themselves couldn't keep the pace. rock for light has a lot of the same songs but i just feel like they're weak in comparison, maybe they were on better speed for this one, who knows...anyway, it's so much more raw and the tones of the guitars, particularly on the solos, have a marvelous presence. just one of the best records ever in any genre, it can be apreciated on the basis of sheer energy alone.

4 out of 5 stars that's right--four stars........2006-08-25

Bad Brains' early recordings found themselves in so many different releases that defining anything as their "first" album is pretty dicey. The Brains' apparent "first" demos were released on CD in the late 90's in the album "Black Dots;" this album itself had been previously released in the late 80's as "Attitude: The ROIR Sessions" before getting the special edition treatment after an endorsement by the Beastie Boys.

While this isn't their best album in terms of performance and songwriting, it is certainly their most accessible. Earl Hudson's drums lead the attack, directing Darryl Jenifer's bass and Dr. Know's guitar like a drill sergeant preparing troops for war. Dr. Know, easily the most gifted guitarist in the history of punk, drops crazy power-chord rhythms and frenzied, acrobatic solos, while Jenifer reinvents rock bass with his jazz-funk runs and tight grooves. Much is made of frontman H.R.'s pioneering performance on this album; while his incredible range does sound remarkable on this album (particularly within the context of what was coming out of the D.C. punk scene at the time), the cheap effects somewhat undermine its impact.

What keeps this album from being a five-star rockfest, at least for me, is the campy production value (Black Dots, recorded in the varying rooms of some guy's house, is mixed better than this album). Most of these songs were re-recorded for the vastly superior Rock For Light album.

5 out of 5 stars Great to hear these voices again.......2007-03-17

This is the group we all sang with and laughed with. It's hard to just listen to The Kingston Trio, you find yourself joining in. This CD has excellent sound and is a good representation of the group's wit and harmony. Though there are many favorites on this CD, the classic Scotch and Soda makes it all worth the price.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect .......2006-10-09

Fella's, it just doesn't get any better than this. I call it perfect because
it is. American music with a light snap of latino twang just for flavor. This is college folk music that's actually fun to listen to.. And by "fun", I don't mean dance music or bubbly pop crap of the time. Not so. Folk music coming out of the 50's and 60's was often a bit of a bummer to listen to. The message often overode the ability to listen. Not so much the Kingston Trio. You can hear the "fun or nothing" rule in each cut. Dave Guard, Bob
Shane and Nick Reynolds were the perfect band, the perfect group. The latter day versions of the K.T were good but not the original receipe. They could
cover every emotion; fun, somber, sad, happy and happy drunk.

I only have one wish for Kingston Trio music; That "Fast Freight" will be
covered by Crosby Stills Nash and maybe Young. "Scotch and Soda" was the tune that would assure that you would be having breakfast with last nights date. All perfect.

5 out of 5 stars Hungry for the Kingston Trio.......2006-06-29

When I was an innocent teenager, an older cousin introduced my to the Kingston Trio and said very intelligent people like them. Well, she was right! This CD is a broad scope of their ability to perform all areas of folk music. I especially enjoyed the part of the album that is live from the Hungry i as there is the banter and humor and wild wit thrown in by the guys as they perform. The audience is having a wonderful time and show it. It's worth the price of the CD just to hear songs like "They Call the Wind Maria", the joyful cynicism of "The Merry Minuet"and the rousing "Zombie Jamobree". Macabre, but fun. While I later heard trios with a little tighter and closer harmony, such as Chad Mitchell Trio, Peter, Paul, and Mary, I will always love the Kingston Trio for being the first. So, if you are intelligent, go get this CD. Excellent!!

5 out of 5 stars Quintessential Kingston Trio.......2006-03-23

If you are going to get one CD of the Kingston Trio, this is the one I would purchase, for this is when they were young and in their prime. I do not think the influence of the Kingston Trio on modern popular music and rock and roll and radio play is credited fully enough by music historians, in this album you get a sense of the 'beat' generation live at the 'Hungry i' in San Francisco repleat with bongos, as well as their landmark debut album that included the number 1 jukebox hit of 1958, Scotch and Soda with vocals by Bob Shane. For all of the thousands of kids who struggle with a G-cord learning guitar, this is an album that should be heard, and if you are looking for something to add variety on your ipod, shuffle in a few of these songs. These are the originators of so many cover hit tunes like Wimbeway and Sloop John B by the Beach Boys, and the long running hit Tom Dooley. I think one of the strongest impressions that is made is the great wit and intelligence these muscians had, back in the day when being a 'college man' actually was reflected in erudite speech and humor. There are a few tunes that seem to lack inspiration, and some anachronistic references to individuals like John Foster Dulles, however there are few albums that so perfectly capture a feeling and a revolution of the cusp of popular music as does these two.

For fans of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, et al., this is the essential cartoon soundtrack as well as a monument to surrealism. During his 22 years as a composer for Warner Bros. animated shorts, Stalling invented the musical vocabulary of cartoons. Producer Hal Willner has lovingly assembled a sonic collage that showcases Stalling's compositional genius and uncanny ability to borrow a tune. It's a whirling collection of random moments, chock full of music you never knew you knew, from Bugs Bunny's theme from "Rabbit Fire" to Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" to Stalling's own "Woo! Woo!" Also included in the mix: outtakes from recording sessions, and several complete scores. --Heidi MacDonald

5 out of 5 stars Best compilation CD ever.......2007-02-18

Carl Stalling gave me the best musical education I ever had. I'm spending the rest of my life learning the titles and composers of all the hundreds of tunes I first heard in his cartoon scores. I've had this CD ever since it came out, and it still is one of my favorites.

Only a handful of tracks are a complete score from one cartoon; most are snippets from several cartoons edited together with a common theme.

This CD is about a composer and his music, more than about the cartoons for which he composed it. To drive home this point, it includes the score from, of all things, 1939's "The Good Egg." No one would consider "The Good Egg" to be among the best Warner cartoons, but the score, heard by itself, turns out to be a tour de force that is highly representative of Stalling's work. That's what makes this CD such a great listening experience: It was pieced together by musicologists who chose the music based on its auditory qualities, and not on the relative fame of the cartoon associated with it. It is not merely a trip down memory lane (although it is that, too), but is a great creative work in its own right.

Despite the vast amount of Stalling music that exists, this CD provides as ambitious and exhaustive an overview as can be given, and its 1995 follow-up, while also worth having, is but a pale afterthought. There's no following this act.

3 out of 5 stars Here we go........2006-11-16

This CD features music from the Warner Brothers cartoon film scores by Carl Stalling. There are some complete scores and also some "medleys", with clips from various cartoons strung together. Carl Stalling was a master at writing music for cartoons, but something is lost when you just hear the music without seeing the cartoon.

5 out of 5 stars Stallings CDs.......2006-11-10

If you harken back to the days when you snuggled on the couch on a Saturday morning with your little ones, and ate donuts and drank juice and watched "Bugs Bunny" you will love these CDs. You'll recognize all the characters and their entrances and their pratfalls...and laugh and say "I've heard that!"...it's a walk down memory lane and a very special one, at that. I highly reccommend these to anyone who loves B Bunny.
Not to mention these are some of the finest musicians you will ever hear...a lesson in classical music, and cartoons.

4 out of 5 stars The Carl Stalling Project.......2005-09-12

Music from Warner Brothers cartoons "Golden Years" (1936-1958).
Carl Stalling was the chief music arranger for Warner Brothers cartoons from 1936 to 1958. He was one of the foremost composers of cartoon music. This disk is much better than "The Carl Stalling Project Volume II."

5 out of 5 stars Warner Brother's King of Music.......2003-12-02

Even if you do not recognize his name, Carl Stalling is a very familiar composer. He wrote the soundtrack for many of our young lives as the composer for Warner Bros.' "Merrie Melodies" and "Looney Tunes" cartoons from late 1930's to late 1970's. Hal Willner has compiled this CD that for the first time lets you hear the music on its own, and lets you realize just how much of the cartoons' impact came from Stalling's music.

Willner sifted through hundreds of cartoons to choose about 40 with the most significant music. He presents the music in a variety of formats. A few tracks provide the soundtrack for a single entire cartoon. Others are medlies from a certain period in Stalling's career or pieces that set a particular mood (such as the "Anxiety Montage"). There are also tapes from recording sessions for 1951's "Putty Tat Trouble" that give insight on how this music was recorded. I couldn't recommend this CD any more highly. (After you've given it a listen, check out a Raymond Scott "best of" album like "Reckless Nights and Turkish Twilights" to see just how many of its tracks are familiar from various cartoons.)

Stalling's music, instead of following the traditional rules of musical structure (exposition, development, theme, variations, etc.), was written to follow the rapid action of cartoons. Stalling would not compromise on this, even if it meant having the 50-piece orchestra play fortissimo for five seconds and then having only one piccolo playing the next four seconds. To ensure a perfect correspondence between the sound and the image, Stalling and the cartoon's directors would agree on a few sketches and on the timing of the action. This enabled Stalling to compose and record the music without even seeing the movie. Carl Stalling was also a master at telling a story through music, with gestures so clear, that there is never any doubt as to his intentions.

Stalling once said, "One problem with cartoons today is that they have so much dialogue the music doesn't mean much." Unfortunately, this statement rings true as we move into 2004. But keeping Carl Stalling from rolling in his grave is not why you need to buy this CD. You need it because it is IMPOSSIBLE to maintain a bad mood while this CD is playing. You need this to listen to as a stress reducer on those tough days. You need this because it is complete childhood in a disc.

I challenge you to turn on your television and watch some Looney Tunes. Turn up the volume and listen while doing something else (wash dishes, write a paper perhaps.) I guarantee you will know exactly what is happening, and to whom. This was the comedic skill and genius talent of Carl Stalling.

After glancing over the reviews, I see that we are not the only ones who feel that this CD will never get old. I, too, have been playing it for years. Wendy, Kathryn, etc are such annointed singers and musicians, it is hard to deny Christ's spirit leading them. I will never get sick of this CD. It is truly a classic :)

5 out of 5 stars Classic & Intimate Worship.......2005-08-13

A few reasons why this CD has become a classic are that it represents simplicity, raw & intimate worship with a deep theological perspective.

For example, the title cut 'Hungry' is not a just worship song that is about God. It is directed to God. So as you start to sing, you find yourself calling out to God himself. It's not just calling out something nice about God. In simplicity terms we use every day are blended with the bible to help anyone connect with Jesus. The bible says taste and see that the Lord is good. This song takes that concept and turns it back into a worship song. So if you are at home or in a small group or a church service or listening to a faster version of it on the radio, the lyrics take solid biblical truth and help you pray it to God. That's part of the reason why so many people love this CD. On top of that, the musical technical quality is excellent.

I would recommend it without hesitation. It also makes a great gift for anyone who is seeking God.

I got this CD when it came out in 1999. I still listen to it. It is raw God centered worship. Listening to it will make you Hungry for Him and falling on your knees in worship. Buy this CD and hear the songs sung by the original writers. You may have heard the songs on Michael W Smith's cd's Phillips, Craig, & Dean and others but this one will blow you away!

5 out of 5 stars Best worship CD I own!.......2002-06-21

I never tire of listening to Hungry. "Child of God" is absolutely stunning and never fails to leave me in tears knowing of God's love for me. The whole CD is awesome and will bring you closer to the Lord.

5 out of 5 stars Want a CD that brings you close to the heart of God?.......2002-05-23

I bought this CD almost two years ago and God still uses it to still my heart and realize His presence with me. It is by far my favorite worship CD I have ever bought. Do you desire intimacy with Jesus? This CD might help you find it. I know it has helped me.

    Album Description

    On their debut release, “Apparitions”, Hungry Lucy take us on an impressive journey into the gothic/trip-hop genre. Don't be fooled by the gothic label though. These are not the doom and gloom tunes of purists, but a seamless hybrid of darkwave, trip-hop, and yes, even pop music. Christa Belle's vocals tell tales of spiritual encounters, and the other-worldly travels, while War-N Harrison's electronica textures and funky grooves keep you bouncing in your headphones.

    The brilliant remixes from Heavy Water Factory, F9 & Battery's Shawn Brice are sure to keep the dance floor pumping. While primarily electronic in instrumentation, Hungry Lucy uses piano, acoustic guitar and flute to brilliantly compliment the electronics. All in all, an impressive debut release that is sure to perk up some ears in a genre crying out for something new.

    5 out of 5 stars A Hidden Masterpiece.......2007-03-13

    A theme album about Ghosts! Really about love surviving death.
    I accidentally heard of Hungry Lucy here at Amazon. I have never known a group that keeps getting better with every listen even when your up to 30 or 40 plus listens. Hungry Lucy has moved up to my favorite band status. I have since purchased their other 2 albums. Apparitions is my favorite album, solid all the way thru, although my favorite individual song of Hungry Lucy is 'In the Circle' off the Glo album. Christa Belle has the most amazing etheral voice I have yet heard in music. No matter what type of music you are into you should check this album out and after a few listens I guarantee you will be spellbound by the talent. Trip Hop of such amazing talent that its for everyone.

    5 out of 5 stars Hauntingly Beautiful!!!!!!!!! Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2004-11-12

    This was the first album I bought of theirs. And soon after I had to buy their first and now their third!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have not heard a song I did not like!!!!!!!!! They are the most creative, expansive, dark, beautiful, interesting, mesmerizing, ingenious, groups, ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A fan for life!!!!!!!!!! Once you listen to a song from this group, you can not stop listening to all their songs!!!!!!!!!!! If I could give this album more stars i would!!!!!!!!!!!

    5 out of 5 stars Great vocals.......2004-09-18

    This CD has a lot of emotion in the songs that any age group can relate to them.

    5 out of 5 stars Just Gorgeous.......2004-08-01

    I love Hungry Lucy. I love this album. Gorgeous, haunting vocals over rich, atmospheric music. Practically every song is a gem, though I'm not big on the remixes. I much prefer the original versions. "Alfred", "Bed Of Flames", and "Bound In Blood" are especially noteworthy, as well as the accapella "Goodbye" which relys on nothing but Christa Bell's beautiful vocals. As a poet myself, I have a deep appreciation for the haunting lyrics.

    3 out of 5 stars Okay music, sub-okay lyrics..........2004-07-20

    As others have pointed out, "Bound in Blood" is an exceptional song - excellent. Other strong songs: "Blue Dress", "Stretch" and "Bed of Flames". The others ... are weaker.

    My biggest complaint though is with the almost monotonous meter of the lyrics. It's not the words themselves that are a problem but the simple, slow, one-syllable-per-measure meter. I keep wanting the singer to spill in a few more words/syllables between beats but the words ... just ... keep ... coming ... out ... like ... this.

    But please, buy this if only for "Bound in Blood". If you don't like the price of the whole CD, put it on your wishlist and get someone to buy it for you for your birthday. :-)

    4 out of 5 stars Music of the people.......2005-04-23

    On Eagles Wings is most definatly inspired.... Latin Music is great if you understand itm but I have not heard any conversations in Latin lately. The most important aspect of liturgy is the participation of the assembly and if the assembly (or most of it) does not understand what is being sung or said What's the use? Catholic Tradition is great kept alive on CD for those who want to walk down memory lane but it is a Vatican 2 church......deal with it or get out and join one of those rougue churches that say mass in Latin and stop trying to move backwards. There is nothing more powerful than a singing actively participating church.......let's not stiffle the voice of the Body of Christ.

    3 out of 5 stars Good But Not Haunting Or Mysterious........2005-02-27

    Hello, this music is good but it is not haunting,mysterious,Otherworldly,or timeless like Gregorian Chant or The Latin Mass now all I can say is that we as catholics threw out 1400 years of beautiful music for junk like "On Eagles Wings".Though To the person who said they prefer this to the pre-vatican 2 dirge music you are very close-minded and devoid of art and beauty and judging by what you said you are part of what I call the weak generation of Catholics who are only catholic on paper and have no sense of history for your very beautiful and mysterious church. Most people from that generation see the catholic church only after vatican 2 and you forget about the past councils and teachings of the Catholic church and it's history,I mean there is a reason they kept it so long it was for it's goodness(if it was bad it would not lasted 1400 years) as a priest on EWTN said to those who say "That is so pre-vatican 2" "So was Jesus." You see Latin Is very Beautiful and Mysterious language and it is a very catholic thing I mean whats more catholic then Gregorian Chant or the Latin Mass it's timeless like the church itself we as catholics need to start reclaiming are heritage from the likes of liberal priest and bishops of the 60's generation regardless of what they say there do as you please Mass is not in the spirit of Vatican II which allowed the use of vernacular in the Mass but it did not intend for Latin and Gregororian Chant to disappear it said to preserve it and give it, it's proper place that is what has been the intention of every pope since including this one they have all encouraged the use of Latin and Gregorian Chant in the mass.
    How can anyone one not like it,it's very beautiful and it's been around for 1400 years how can one say that singer songwriter stuff which no one will remember in 50 years be better then this it's like seeing heaven and saying you prefer the world(alot of people unfortunatly do this.) Though to ansewer the question of it being to sad yes it is very somber and mournful but thats because the sacrifice of mass is a very solemn ceromony it was never meant to be celebrated in rock or jazz or polka or any other abuses by certain clergy. If alot of these ignorant catholics only knew what took place at the mass they would understand. You know you should be proud of the fact you are catholic because we have many gifts the protestants don't have(In the sacrements,the liturgy,the art and the music.) So I say to you now even you prefer the vernacular have respect and appreciation of what came before you in are Holy Catholic Church. Oh by the way I am 19 about to be 20 and Vatican II was a good thing it retouched are faith as Cardinal Francis Aziz said. Though I believe many people misinterpret it.
    I suggest watching EWTN alot or really studying your faith and I like both Novus Ordo And Tridentine Rite.
    More of a rant not a review but these songs have there moments and there are many Vernacular songs I like.

    Et Cum Spirtu Tuo.

    4 out of 5 stars Very Good Traditional Hymns.......2004-05-30

    It sounds like you are in Church, and that is what I was looking for. I especially like the Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones, Peace is flowing like a river, and Let There Be Peace on Earth.

    Some of the other songs were better done by other artists. Like Shepherd Me is done better by the original Marty Haugen. This version is good, but not as good as Marty's. And I was not particularly fond of this version of Amazing Grace.

    Overall I would recommend you buy a copy for your collection. The songs which are good, are very good.

    2 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2004-04-01

    This CD was not at all what I expected. It sounds just like you are in Church. Every song is accompanied by an organ and most of them sung in soprano. The tempo of all the songs is very slow too! I was looking for something I could sing along to, not put me to sleep! On the positive side, there are some beautiful songs, I just wish they were sung more "up beat".

    4 out of 5 stars Yes, these are great Catholic songs.......2004-02-07

    I grew up with the music of the St. Louis Jesuits and this CD is a good representation of the BEST. In the spirit of Be Not Afraid, I am Near You, on Eagles Wings are all songs I loved in high school, college, and adult life. We sing most of these songs regularly at Mass. These are pleasant renditions of inspirational songs that uplift - in my opinion they are far better than much of the dirge music pre-vatican II.

    Album Description

    On their third full-length album, genre bending duo Hungry Lucy prove to us, yet again, that the confines of one musical style just won't contain them. "To Kill a King" seamlessly traverses the musical spectrum from somber darkwave to catchy pop without missing a beat.

    Fans of Hungry Lucy's first two releases, "Apparitions" and "Glo", will not be disappointed with this fresh batch of inspired electro-organic productions crowned with Christa Belle's haunting voice.

    The title track, "To Kill a King" couples a driving Depeche Mode styled production with emotional female vocals. While "Rainfall" evokes the electrified songwriter feel of Dido or even Madonna in her more contemplative moments. The uplifting vibe of "Shine" pulls together elements from around the globe with a soaring vocal melody. The melancholy "Good Girl" is a stripped down piano & vocal wonder that tugs hard at your emotions, while the pure synthetic "High Price of Mistakes" manages to sound icy cold, yet emit a warm glow all at once.

    It's this type of beautiful contrast that Hungry Lucy are passionate about, and fully demonstrate on "To Kill a King". Their talent for blending the familiar with the exotic captures you at first listen and leaves you wanting more.

    5 out of 5 stars Subtle gothic journey.......2006-06-13

    This is the first CD by Hungry Lucy that I've listened to, and for me it was an acquired taste. On the first couple of listens I found it intriguing but not exactly compelling ... but for some reason I kept putting it back in my Discman ... and gradually and then suddenly I was loving it. The title tune is the one that sticks in your head most, but for me all the songs on this story cycle CD are memorable and unique. To me, this needs to be digested as a whole, as we follow the female protagonist in her journey from "killing" her king to forgiving him. We're traveling with this character on her internal trek. This is really not overtly "gothic" music, although it can generally be put in that category; it is sad and even somewhat mournful, and I kept envisioning medieval castles and landscapes as I listened. The title song is actually quite triumphant in tone and there are some enjoyable remixes which are actually dance-trance music. I've just gotten HL's "Apparitions" based on my love for "To Kill a King," which overall I've found to be a very nourishing, satisfying listen.

    4 out of 5 stars Color me surprised!.......2005-03-15

    I bought this CD because I've been enjoying several of Hungry Lucy's free Amazon downloads for about a year now. The little guilt fairies were starting to poke me everytime I listened to them, so I figured it was time to purchase one of their CDs. I have to admit, when I received it and realized that the album comprised a story, I was a little skeptical -- I thought it sounded like a gimmicky concept. I popped in the CD and was very disappointed on my initial listen. It hadn't been what I'd expected -- then I listened to it again. Really listened to it. And the unexpected happened -- I found myself incredibly moved by this story of a woman escaping an abusive relationship. This album captures the feel of a dark fairy-tale, which I love. The emotions the Queen feels are not stereotypical, and the final outcome is not a fiery Hollywood cop-out. I found this to be a wonderfully sung story of betrayal and ultimate triumph through inner strength. My favorite tracks are Shine, To Kill a King, Rainfall and Good Girl but, really, the whole album is good.

    I never stop respecting artists who push themselves and try something new with every release. The Hungry Lucy team set out to do this and, I feel, accomplishes their goal. I will definitely buy their next album, and I'm encouraging my friends to give this one a listen.

    3 out of 5 stars Disappointed. This is boring........2005-01-27

    I have Hungry Lucy's first two CDs and I love them (except maybe the last couple on Apparitions which were just a bit to depressing and slow). They stayed in my car CD player for weeks when I first bought them. I was so looking forward to this new release. However, for the most part I just don't like it. It's boring. There're only perhaps a song or two that hold my attention. There isn't enough variety and some of the lyrics are a little silly. Hopefully in future releases the band will get back to songs like Alfred, Bed of Flames, In the Circle and several others on the first CDs that had a more upbeat tempo.

    5 out of 5 stars Inspired and beautiful.......2005-01-18

    First, read Mistress of Shadows' review; she says it more eloquently than I could. Then buy this CD.

    5 out of 5 stars Darkwave electro-Goth at its finest!.......2004-12-22

    A conceptual tale of a Queen summoning the courage from within herself to leave her unloving husband, 'To Kill A King' is Hungry Lucy's third release, and quite possibly their best endeavor yet. It's rare to come across a group that not only lives up to prior achievements but actually surpasses all expectations. Hungry Lucy just keep growing as musicians, outdoing themselves with each new album. I absolutely adore 'Apparitions' (it's destined to become an underground classic) and 'Glo', for me, was an amazing accomplishment but 'To Kill A King' is simply phenomenal and I haven't praised a record with as much fervor as this in a while. Christa Belle's vocals are sweetly enchanting, the beautiful yet melancholy lyrics contain the strongest songwriting I've heard from them thus far, and War-N-Harrison's ingenious musings are as haunting as ever. The melodies here are a lot tamer then they've been in the past but I was hardly disappointed by that. Quite the contrary, I feel their more subtle approach was a smart direction for them to take. They've proven they can do more than simply put some good beats together (and, believe me, they can!). There's still some synthy electronic stuff present, however, they've shifted gears a bit by incorporating more acoustic instruments this time around. There's even a piano solo on "A Lifetime Remains" and what sounds to me like a violin, though there's no mention of it within the credits, giving the Null Dull Mix of "You Are" a Middle Eastern flair. The song I especially love, though, is the emotional ballad, "My Beloved", including additional vocals by Alexx Reed from ThouShaltNot and Kristy Venrick from The Azoic. At first I was bummed to see there were only four remixes, unlike previous releases, but they are all so incredibly done, it was probably wise of them to merely choose the best of the best, making this a very solid album with absolutely no flaws.

    To my ears this is PERFECTION. Hungry Lucy is one of the finer groups in the Gothic sub-genre today and I urge you to give them a chance if you're looking for something fresh and inventive for a change.

    You won't be skipping tracks with this CD, I promise you that. Instead you'll be hitting replay, over and over again.

    Album Description

    Why a tribute to artists still very much alive, well, and making records? The immediate cynical reply is commercialism, and let's be honest, what artist or record label wouldn't want to capitalize on the fan base and rich song catalogue of a band like The Pet Shop Boys? It seems almost inconceivable that this hasn't been done before, especially with the number of Depeche Mode tribute CDs in the double digits and climbing.

    But with so many tribute CDs on the market - some paying homage to artists who barely have three albums under their belts - there is a growing consumer backlash against them. Too, it's hard for artists to know how best to approach these tributes. A faithful cover risks critical allegations that the artist has simply copied the song with no real vision employed, while a radical re-working will have fans clamoring that a musical classic has been butchered. It's a difficult tightrope to tread.

    Still, everyone involved in this project has opted to walk that tightrope, and we're hopeful and confident that you in the audience will be entertained by the performance. Rest assured that this is not a thrown-together assembly line tribute, but something lovingly compiled over the better part of a year by a longtime PSB fan. We've even had the disc mastered at the same studio that mastered Nightlife as well as the recent re-issues to ensure the best sound quality.

    1 out of 5 stars It Stinks.......2003-06-19

    Unlike the mini cd by Unlimited Beat in 1990's this cd compilation of artists you've never heard of leaves much to be desired. Completely untrue to the spirit of the original songs with poor production value, I advise die hard PSB fans to let this one rot on the shelves. This rates up there with the abortive Erasure Tribute album that came out last year.

    3 out of 5 stars It had its moments.......2002-06-25

    Being a huge fan of the Pet Shop Boys, I could not bring myself to give even a derivative work such as this a low rating. To be honest, many of the tracks are not worth listening to. But this tribute is priced low enough to make it worth it for the few solid and enjoyable tracks. Don't buy this unless you already have everything from the Pet Shop Boys as any of their albums or singles would be a better investment.

    2 out of 5 stars Stick to the Originals.......2002-04-15

    Tribute albums are interesting for at least one of two reasons:
    1) They provide worthwhile new interpretations of existing songs.
    2) They confirm that the original singers were not merely fine songwriters, but also very good singers and/or arrangers.

    Like the tribute album to Elton John, this definitely falls in the latter category.

    After what I consider to be two huge disappointments - bilingual and nightlife (sounded way too gay for this straight couple); my wife and I found that we loved VERY INROSPECTIVE, ACTUALLY.

    It has about the same hits on it as discography with a version of NYC Boy that is actually better on this CD than the original IMHO.

    If you're a PSB Fan like we are, buy it, because we think it has been a nice way to be exposed to some talent we have not heard before; but through songs we know and love.

    Just don't expect any of the songs to be sung in the same octave as the PSB..these are all baritones and tenors on this one.

    4 out of 5 stars Great Here and There.......2002-02-09

    Im a PSB's fan and a Human Drama fan and I was skeptical of this cd, amazingly enough it is quite good. Im glad to see lot of the bands on here doing the songs in there own style. There are a few songs that disappointed me but for the most part it holds together nicely. And for those who say, "im the biggest PSB fan in the world," and then trash this cd, have you seen Pet Shop Boys live? That can be pretty embarrassing too.
