an ode to talk talk

September 08, 2012

I honestly couldn't care less if you've listened to, heard of, or even dismissed Talk Talk entirely.
Just listen to this album.

Never before have i come across a tribute album with so many exceptional cover songs.
It doesn't miss a single beat.
From Halloween, Alaska covering After The Flood, to Do Make Say Think staying true to the instrumental gem on their version of New Grass.
It's perfect and cover albums are rarely that.
If you don't come away from listening to this 2-disc love letter addressed to a long worshipped band wanting to take the law into your own hands and marry it, then i'm sorry to say but you have no soul.
At least not musically.

This album also gives me hope that Thomas Feiner will re-enter the music world in the near future.
No one has a voice like Feiner and i miss it terribly.
The Opiates - Revised will forever remain an inspired collection of faultless music, that if i tire of, i will eat one of my many and ridiculous hats.

So...

Be a good music lover...

and LISTEN!
