Album Description

Inhabiting space somewhere between Spoon and Interpol, Robbers schizophrenically mix fast paced dance rock with sinister melodies that pull in different directions. Intelligent, atmospheric, and perfectly off kilter.

Customer Reviews:

A little New York love for the Robbers.......2007-02-03

I have listened to this EP quite a few times now and I do think that Ben Trokan's delivery sometimes sounds like Britt Daniel's (from Spoon), but I can't honestly fool myself into thinking that it's Spoon performing. The Robbers have their own sound, despite the vocal similarities. The one slow song, Opal Ann, has piano that carries the melody softly & sweetly. The other 5 songs, all fast rockers, sound almost like they could make it to regular radio, but honestly, who wants THAT nowadays? Sticking to indie label spirit & domain, the band can later change style, experiment with words & music, instead of being pigeon-holed & dictated by the hand of the big label. It's a promising early EP with an addicting sound for fans of guitar/piano/male-singer rock music. Great modern sound; can't wait to hear their 2007 offerings.

Robbers On SPOON Street.......2005-02-22

I think this is a really good CD, but unfortunately, Robbers On High Street sound EXACTLY like the band SPOON (Austin, TX).

I was given a copy of Fine Lines and had to remove it from my CD player and inspect the label to assure myself this wasn't SPOON's Britt Daniel singing! Its uncanny!! That being said, I guess its better that ROHS sounds like SPOON, than say, Limp Biskit of Nickelback.

For anyone who's never heard SPOON, try picking up Girls Can Tell, Kill the Moonlight, or the EXCELLENT Soft Effects ep (if you can find it). SPOON's been around for more than 10 years & with each successive release has grown into easily the Best Band in Texas (IMHO).

Don't get me wrong -- were it not for them being SPOON-alikes, I think this CD would easily warrant 4+ stars. As it is, I'll give it 3. Still a good CD, just a tad too familiar...

I can't wait to hear the new stuff!

Best EP you've never heard!.......2004-11-26

Think early pavement meets Belle and Sebastian...their full length will be very welcomed! You cannot miss with this one.

Short & Sweet.......2004-05-25

The idea that this cd is only 6 tracks long shouldn't scare you from buying it. Very good sound from these guys...haunting melodies and powerful guitars.

if only it hadn't been done before.......2004-04-24

This CD would be quite exciting if it weren't for the fact that they sound EXACTLY like Spoon. ROHS is a good band, but everything they do well is done better by Spoon. The singer even sounds exactly like Britt Daniel. It's weird.

New definitions for arias and Lieder.......2002-07-18

Creative is the word here. Innovative also fits. And fresh is another apt adjective. The result practically defies genre classification. "Classical crossover" might describe this CD the best.

The most important thing is the fact that this blending works, and it brings out a previously overlooked quality in such songs as "It's Over", "Reach out, I'll Be There", and "The Ladies Who Lunch". And on the other hand, this blending makes pieces such as "Zwielicht", "Nessun Dorma", and "Larghetto" more accessible to a larger audience.

A major consideration here is that neither the classical nor the popular works are compromised. This CD deserves to be a lot more popular than it is.

One of the most creative albums of 2000.......2002-06-15

Don Byron is the man... Who else would put Puccini's 'Nessun Dorma', Sondheim's 'The Ladies Who Lunch' (featuring the amazing Cassandra Wilson), and 'Reach Out (I'll Be There)' by the Four Tops, on the same album?

To go further, who would infuse their own style into these pieces to such an extent where they all sound like equal parts in a gigantic musical vein? Don Byron, that's who.

Tracks:

Fine Line
Comfort of Love
Growing Up Falling Down

Album Details

The First Single from the Former Beatle's 2005 Album "Chaos and Creation in the Back Yard" that was Produced by Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Beck, REM, Travis). The Title Track Sounds Like it Could have Been Lifted from the "Mccartney/Ram" Era. It is Backed with the NON-LP B Tracks "Comfort in Love" and "Growing Up Falling Down".

Customer Reviews:

Best song from a weak lot.......2006-05-04

Chaos and Creation ranks at the bottom of the albums released from McCartney. "Fine Line" ends up being the best song from a woeful bunch of tunes cobbled together for McCartney's Chaos CD. But is it a good song? Lets put it his way; it's a nice song. So nice that it's part of a car commercial these days. On any other McCartney album it would have been a filler track. It would be nice if Paul could re-acclimate himself to the electric guitar and do a little rock 'n' roll again.

A song worthy of Pauls beatle songs!!!.......2006-03-20

Congrats Sir Paul! Fine Line is a beautiful song. Great and Fantastic. My kids and i play it over and over and over again. In the car going to school, to the mall and before they sleep! You know if Paul composed and sang this song in his Beatle years, im 100% sure it will hit #1 in the billboard charts. If he wrote it in the 70s it will be another #1 single for Wings. Even though it didnt hit the charts in 2005, to us fans with taste and intelligence, Fine Line is #1 !!!

He hasn't lost his touch.......2005-11-01

Paul's best work in about 10 years. Working with his new producer was good for him. Congratulations, Paul, and your fans are looking for many more great songs & albumns from you.

Chaos and Creation is Excellent.......2005-10-16

One of Paul McCartney's best albums -- ever! The fact that this is one of McCartney's greatest works is really saying something -- it is one of the high points in an already unparalleled catalog of excellence. Each track is consistently cool. A definite MUST BUY!!!

Fine Line cd.......2005-10-09

The songs Comfort Of Love and Growing Up and Falling Down
should have been added as bonus tracks on Chaos and Creation in The backyard.The songs are good.

Caught behind musical bars and fences.......2006-02-10

Concidering the musical explosions and outbursts Nick Cave and his crew of Bad Seeds can cause during a live performance, this soundtrack to the John Hillcoat movie is surprisingly understated and nihilistic. It's an atmospherical and moody mix of dimmed music, seemingly lost voice-overs and eerie soundscapes.
The story is set in a futuristic maximum security prison and listening to the soundtrack you can almost hear the electrical wires buzz. There is a tension through out the whole album that never lets go and that can't be said of most thriller- and horror scores, not even from the so called `great names' in the genre.
High pitched flutes, flares really, are scarcely dropped throughout the movie, giving us the creepy feeling of total alienation. The soundscapes on the cd are as desolate as the landscape in which the movie's prison is standing. One could even speak of a `sense of nether worldy', for both movie and score gives us the strange feeling that the rest of the world, the Common Sense World that is, is gone, and we have become as much a prisonner as the movie characters have and that there is really... really... no way out....

the formula may seem at first familiar, but dig deeper and you'll see that ms caine has a talent far greater than she knows. with an edge both evocative and sexy, her music definitely rocks; but like a perfume, she'll haunt you with something very feminine and beautiful. for both boys and girls.
