repeat.......2007-07-06

I thought this CD was a repeat of the Lovehammers first CD. Marty DID take advice from INXS and stopped screaming so much but some of the remakes just didn't sound as good as the originals. The CD is good but if you purchased the first Love Hammers CD the only song really missing from it is "Trees." I look forward to some new material.

A good rock album, but not a great one........2006-09-08

I'm sure the Hammerheads will slam me for this review, but that's okay. I've given this album a long time to grow on me, but I haven't changed much of my initial impression of it, so my opinion stands.

Like many others, I first "discovered" Marty Casey thanks to his memorable appearance as a contestant on "RockStar: INXS" in the summer of 2005. I was immediately captivated by his incredible stage presence, his intensity, and his voice. Enthusiastically, I sought out his two previous albums with The Lovehammers, "L'Strange" and this one, "Murder on My Mind". While my love for Marty did not diminish, I have to admit that I was not as overwhelmed by these albums as I'd hoped to be.

My first problem is with the vocals. Perhaps it is just the mix, here. Perhaps it is an over-use of ProTools to smooth out the edges, but it feels at times that Marty's voice on this album is barely recognizable as the same Marty Casey we heard on TV. Much of the "edge" that I loved about his voice on the show seems to be missing, and that is a major downfall of the album for me.

The songs themselves start out strong, with the best two--lyrically and musically--kicking things off: "Tunnel" and "Eyes Can't See". After that, however, things begin to settle into a sameness of sound lacking strong hooks and originality. The impression I am left with is one of a strong "local" band, yes, but one that lacked that certain special something to propel them to more national acclaim. Perhaps that is why Marty sought out a fresh start on RockStar? It does leave one to wonder.

There are a couple other solid tracks, particularly the atmospheric "Clouds" and the punky "Call of Distress", but again, nothing that packs the instant catchiness of "Trees" as we heard on Rock Star. Perhaps Marty and the Lovehammers are a band that simply needs better production to be captured properly on disc?

I do look forward to hearing their next release, to see if they can break away from some of the more generic hard-rock aspects of their sound into something more fresh and original. I have no doubt that Marty Casey has the talent and skill to do this. I'm just still waiting to hear it all truly come together.

Raw Emotion & Energy!.......2006-08-12

What is it with major labels? They always suck all the life, energy and emotion out of a recording. They try and make it palatable for a wide audience. That's a mistake because when you try and please everyone, you end up pleasing no one. That's what happened with Marty Casey and Lovehammers major label release. It's a great album because of the musical content, but it's just just missing all the live, raw energy that this band is capable of. With the production of the songs on the Marty Casey and Lovehammers cd, I can completely see why people might want to compare them to bands like Nickelback. It's the production of the songs that make it sound like Nickelback, not the music.

Anyway..

Murder On My Mind is a stellar cd! I'd have to say that it's in my top 5 of all time and just kills the Marty Casey and Lovehammers' cd. If you listen to Call Of Distress on both cd's, it's perfectly obvious. The version of Call Of Distress on this cd makes me weep every time I listen to it, but the version on Marty Casey and Lovehammers leaves me cold. I completely blame that on the producer and sound engineer, who ultimately work for the label.

Bottom line.. If I could only buy one cd, I'd buy this one in a heartbeat. Too bad that this isn't their major label debut.

Hopefully, the Lovehammers will get a clue and go back to a more live, raw sound like on this cd when record their next cd.

external now.......2006-07-01

Great!!!! It is Marty Casey & Lovehammers before Rockstar INXS. This is what they do best. I liked hearing them before they hit it big. You can really tell they poured their heart into this.

Breathe of fresh Air that rocks big time.......2006-04-23

This band is so intense and so together that their enegry almost blows out my ipod!
Buy this CD now! It is so refreshing to hear great rock again in a music world of lame pop, constant rap and lame.
