5:30 Saturday Morning [Explicit Lyrics]

Amazon.com
With lyrics like "My mommy's in the closet finding God" in the in the album's opener, it's clear that 19-year-old Lennon Murphy is no Lilith-style female singer-songwriter. Slow, industrial, and grinding, yet melodic and rhythmic, songs like "Trying to Make Me" sound not unlike Nine Inch Nails, with creepy musical moments that work even when a song is basically uplifting, such as within the mostly straight-ahead, pop-influenced gem "Brake of Your Car." The Tennessee-bred Lennon is cohesive yet varied, at times akin to PJ Harvey, with touches of Nelly Furtado and Marilyn Manson. She's a poster-child for the smart, artistic, and disenfranchised, who cites author Ayn Rand as an influence. Songs like "My Beautiful," permeated by lovely strings, and "Asking You," a pure, if David Lynch-ian ballad, along tour dates with Alice Cooper, confirm Lennon as a dark rock diva. Dramatic yet ethereal, 5:30 Saturday Morning is a uniquely deep debut. --Katherine Turman

Man, I just cannot trust all the 5-star reviews on Amazon. There is nothing original about this album. It's like you threw Fiona Apple and a bad metal band in a blender.

You want women who can sing and put together some great songs, check out the Pierces' new album that's just coming out. They're good enough to get Judah Bauer to drum for them on tour. Or if you really want some seething, angry, rip-your-head-off rock from a band with a female singer, check out anything from Curve.

After I took a chance and finally ordered this cd I am totally hooked on this artist. Only regret is I wish I had taken the chance much sooner because this cd rocks.

If you appreciate originality and absolutely hate finding a CD that is 90% filler that should have been left in the recording studio, then do NOT buy this cd. I was incredibly disappointed. I was slogging through this thing for about the fifth time, trying desperately to gain some sort of appreciation for it, and I realized I was rolling my eyes every few minutes-- the lyrics are that bad. There are absolutely a couple of tracks that I enjoy, but ultimately all they do is emphasize that this really isn't an album's worth of music.

Love this CD!.......2005-05-17

Lennon Murphy has shot way up to the top of my personal hit list. I love the hard-driving songs, the touching melodies, the thought-provoking lyrics and the whole package. Solid collection of alternative hard rock classics and slower, heart-touching ballads. Just raw talent in all aspects of her music. She really opens herself up for the world to see in her lyrics helping you to feel her inner rage, emptiness and soul searching. I also saw her open up for "Heart" last year and man she is a great live performer who really knows how to rock the stage.

I am so ready for the next album. Waiting anxiously.

Great Debut Album but Dang Those Big Music Execs!.......2005-04-04

My apologies for my strong language in the title but it erks me when music "experts" try to "fix" songs and albums. This is one of the reasons this album sort of disappeared into obscurity. Nonetheless, "5:30..." is a fantastic album because Lennon Murphy's presence is so overpowering. I give this album 4 stars because of three 5-star songs ("Couldn't Breathe," "My Beautiful," and "5:30 Saturday Morning") otherwise I would have had to give it 3 stars. The other songs are good but there is a manufactured feel to them. "5:30..." is the best song on the album because its just Lennon & the piano, no chance for manufacturing here! "My Beautiful" is a great song even though Lennon herself wasn't happy with it. She even remakes it on a future album but, personally, the remake isn't as good. "Couldn't Breathe" is a wonderfully powerful and dynamic song.
