"Everybody's got a right/To their dream." So begins Stephen Sondheim's 1991 show Assassins--and in this case, said dreams involve killing an American president. The characters form a veritable rogues' gallery, including John Hinckley, Lee Harvey Oswald and John Wilkes Booth of course, but also half-forgotten luminaries such as Leon Czolgosz (who killed McKinley) and "Squeaky" Fromme (who aimed for Gerald Ford with an unloaded gun). While Sondheim's lyrics are trenchant as ever, his music, which ranges from Sousa pomp to clever little waltzes, is technically brilliant but also oddly uninvolving. (Many fans prefer the recording of the 1991 Off-Broadway version, though "Something Just Broke," which was added to the 1992 London production, makes its recorded debut here.) Still, there are several high points. In "Unworthy of Your Love," for instance, Hinckley and Fromme wax poetic about their unrequited love for Jodie Foster and Charles Manson, respectively, in a Burt Bacharach-style ballad that's deliberately (I hope!) sappy. And of course as with most Sondheim shows, the cast of this revival--Michael Cerveris, Mario Cantone, Becky Ann Baker, Marc Kudisch, Denis O'Hare--is very good. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Unworthy of This Show.......2007-03-01

Assassins is a masterpiece of American theatre. Through a revue of skits and songs, it examines ideas we don't want to face, and shows us the flip side of the American Dream. The score rates as one of Sondheim's best, and the overall effect, when the show is performed well, is incredibly powerful. For years, people have wanted to mount a production on Broadway.

Given this result, they needn't have bothered.

I am still amazed at how much this production got wrong. The principal cast is nothing short of dreadful: the acting is almost laughably overwrought; the pacing keeps getting disrupted by pauses held too long and lines spoken too slowly; some singers are frequently behind the tempo (notably Michael Ceveris as Booth), while others are painful to listen to (like Jeffrey Kuhn as Zangara and Mario Cantone as Sam Byck); the new orchestrations allow for more musicians in the pit, but are much less effective than the earlier arrangements.

To top it all off, this production includes "Something Just Broke", a song sung by the Ensemble as various "average" Americans of different time periods recalling where they were when the president was shot. The song was introduced in the London production, presumably for people who didn't understand the show to have something to latch on to, but it was mercifully kept out of the published vocal score and libretto. It's not a bad song in and of itself, but musically it does not fit in with the rest of the score, and dramatically it doesn't fit in with the rest of the script. Worse, it is placed right between the Kennedy assassination -- the climax of the show -- and the finale, thus skewing all the dramatic momentum and depriving the show of an effective resolution.

The result of all this is that the comic moments aren't funny, the powerful moments fail to move, and the wonderful music is left ho-hum.

I realize that the extraordinary cast of the original production of Assassins presents a dauntingly high standard for everyone else to compare to, but the college productions I've seen were better than this.

Great. .......2006-11-08

What an amazingly talented cast! Neil Patrick Harris, Marc Kudisch, Alex Gemignani (The new Valjean in the revival of Les Miserables) and of course, the former demon barber of Fleet Street, Michael Cerveris (in the role that won him a Tony)...Just to hear these giants of musical theatre perform together as an ensemble alone is worth the price of this recording. This recording is so wonderfully done, and I can't recommend this enough.

'Unworthy of your Love' and 'The Ballad of Booth' are heartbreakingly beautiful, strange that I say that considering the subject matter, but it's true, those two songs alone will stay with you for days on end. The Ballad of Booth has poetic and tragic lyrics like 'Damn my soul, if you must, let my body turn to dust, let it mingle with the ashes of my country...What I did, I did well, and I did it for my country. Let them cry 'Dirty Traitor!', they will understand later...'. and the hauntingly gorgeous melody that goes with those lyrics is just so well, romantic! But then you have the tongue-in-cheek, slightly macabre numbers like 'The Gun Song' and 'Everybody's Got The Right' with lyrics like, 'Everybody's got the right to be happy. Life's not as bad as it seems! Everybody deserves a little sunshine...' and 'All you have to do is, move your little finger...and you can change the world!'

What a rollarcoaster of emotion! I mean, seriously, who else but Sondheim could pull that off and make it the brilliant masterpiece that it clearly is?

One of my biggest regrets is not seeing this during it's brief run in 2004. :(

Deserves a place in your Sondheim Discography.......2006-07-28

Like other reviewers I was fortunate enough to see Roundabout's revival production but perhaps unfortunate that my total enjoyment of that production may bias my critical listening. I can't help but recall the proprietor (Marc Kudish) caressing a pistol into the hand of each assassin when listening to the opening Everybody's Got The Right.

However, while fans of Sondheim and musical theater will argue over every nuance, I find that both this and the original are excellent in their own way. Yes, the voices in the first recording are more refined, yet this recording seems to better capture the character's mannerisms in the vocal stylization, whether the twitchy madness of Guiteau (Dennis O'Hare) or the depressed howl of Sam Byck (Mario Cantone).

This is a worthwhile recording and one that provides me with a reprise of the excellent staging and acting of this quirky play.

Dashed high hopes.......2006-07-14

Assassins is a fascinating and surprising show. You can't imagine a more unlikely topic for a musical and yet, when you hear and/or see the show, you can't help to be impressed by the entire production. Maybe if I'd never heard the original cast recording, I would have given this a higher rating, but, to be frank, this recording suffers in comparison to the original recording in nearly every way.

While the diction on this recording is often impressive...especially Neil Patrick Harris's...too often it is accomplished at the price of tempo. Too many times the musical director has made the choice to slow down portions of the songs to the point of sluggishness. Absolutely NONE of the performances is superior to the original. That doesn't mean that any of the newer performances are horrible, it's just that they don't measure up. The one who comes the closest is Neil Patrick Harris whom I find naturally charming and vulnerable in anything he does.

The best addition to this recording is Mario Cantone's rant as Sam Byck. Unfortunately, I can't recommend getting this recording based solely on that. The biggest mis-step is the omission of the full, final, Kennedy scene. Hearing it on the original recording for the first time is an absolutely thrilling and chilling experience. Not having it all here is a MAJOR disappointment.

Buy the original recording first and check this one out from the library.

Letdown from the original.......2006-04-10

I have been a huge fan of Assassins since it first came out back in '91. While I've never had the pleasure of seeing the play in person, I've read it several times and listened to the original cast recording so often one can hardly believe it. So when I saw "Broadway Cast Recording" I was thrilled. Then I listened to it. I went from thrilled to appalled.

John Weideman, who wrote the music, seems to prefer the Broadway cast recording--at least he says so in its liner notes. I'm not sure why. While some of the songs are still excellent (like the Hinckley-Fromme duet "Unworthy of Your Love"), many of them are just plain painful to listen to. Most of the time the singing vaccilates between being totally flat of affect (most notably Moore in "The Gun Song") to hyperbolic melodrama. Booth mumbles to the point of near-unintelligibility in several songs; Zangara sounds eerily like the mob boss from 'Johnny Dangerously' that keeps calling everyone "farging bastages"; Moore sings nearly the whole time as if she'd OD'd on sedatives; and Guiteau sounds so stereotypically gay that GLAAD should be suing the producer.

It almost seems as if the cast are not sure what do do with their characters. The cast of the Original Cast Recording hit the characters perfectly--an outstanding mix of suffering, despair, anger and hostility. The Broadway cast can't seem to, in the language of the musical, "connect" to the characters. For me this is a huge failing, as the "charcaters" here are real individuals; if the performers can't connect to them, how can we be expected to?

There are also some content differences between this recording and the original. Several brief additions are made from elsewhere in the musical, and the new song "Something Just Broke" written for the Broadway revival is included on the recording. However, about half of the last act (which is included on the original) is cut out. Sadly, the material cut out is far more moving, unsettling and significant than the material added. Also, "Something Just Broke", while a fine song (and performed better than most of the rest of the material), unfortunately breaks up the natural link between the Kennedy assassination's triumphalist ending and the closing version of "Everybody's Got the Right".

I gave this three stars because I love Assassins. It is a brilliant and unnerving drama. But the Original Cast Recording is immensely superior to the Broadway Cast Recording in its ability to reveal this to the audience. I'm glad it was revived, and I'm glad it won three Tony awards--now it can get the recognition it deserves; but for me, I'll stick to the original version I fell in love with years ago. If only the Broadway recording has found a way to be "worthy of your love"...

Booba Barnes A Steady Player, No More, No Less.......2002-01-21

Roosevelt "Booba" Barnes is something of an anomaly amongst Chicago Blues players. Barnes grew up in Rural Mississippi, learning to play guitar and harmonica along the way. He then moved to Chicago in 1964 and became a part of the Chicago Blues scene.

That's where Barnes departs from the usual path. Unlike most Chicago Blues players, Barnes decided not to avail himself of the city's amazing pool of talent. In 1971 he returned to Greenville, Mississippi and opened his own Blues bar and was soon recording. This CD is a result of those trips into the recording studio.

Barnes plays basic Chicago-style Blues in the mold of his mentors and that is the CD's basic failing. there is nothing new here. Yes, the playing is quite fine, just no real sparks. The band heard on this recording would be fine for a friday night at a Blues bar, but not really worth getting excited about as a recording band. Barnes' guitar, harmonica and singing are OK, just not the stuff that I'd get terribly worked up over.

If you're a died-in-wool Chicago Blues fan I suppose you should get a copy. If not, I'd suggest you stick with the acknowledged masters of the genre.

Amazing...If you like hard-rock/metal.......2005-07-17

This is everything hard music should be...makes me proud to be a Texan knowing these guys are from Dallas. If you're looking for a comparison, I'd have to say these guys remind me mostly of Drowning Pool (DP's first cd). What made Drowning Pool so great in my opinion is the fact that they knew how to do metal. I can't stand hard music when the vocals suck, and trust me, these are about as good as it gets with hard rock/metal.
Gotta give a listing on this one..

1. Boys Lie Girls Steal - 4.5/5 - Excellent opener in the vein of skrape or bands of the sort. Sure the title is corny but who cares, the song kicks.
2. From Laughing Comes Crying - 3.5/5 - Not the catchiest but it has its moments, just a lil repetitive.
3. Piss And Vinegar - 3/5 - Cornball lyrics "too many freaks and not enough circus" make this hard to listen to even though the hooks are catchy and pounding.
4. Comfort From A Bomb - 5/5 - The #$%! nothin more to say.
5. Silverback - 4.5/5 - Also a little repetitive but dang its too good to skip.
6. Audio Star Satellite - 2.5 - They kinda change their style with this one, and not for the better.
7. Racer X - 5/5 - Besides the cool sounding title I'd have to say this is not only the best song on the cd but the BEST metal song in the genre today..if nothing else, listen to this song. Killer chorus.
8. Mouth Wide Shut - 4/5 - If you can get past the "uh huh" thing the singer does this one kicks @$$. Awesome riffs.
9. Paperheart - 4.5/5 - Yikes, a really angry love song. Nice guitar work and vocals.
10. Radio Drowning - 4/5 - Nice outro, with less metal on this track than the rest, more of an angry southern hard rock sound if you will.

Looking forward to picking up the other two discs by this band.

SLO RO no more........2005-03-15

Although the band is no more, this is a great CD. I fully recommend this CD to all fans of this type of music. I first saw them at a concert here in Dallas called BFD. They were on the side stage and were great. Spent more time watching them than on the main stage watching the big bands.

Buy this CD!.......2004-05-09

I first heard Slow Roosevelt in the most recent DBZ movie, Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan, in which they play 2 of their songs, Boys Lie, Girls steal, and Silverback. I thought the music was awesome and I decided to look into the bands. I found this on here and it was only $2.88 so I decided What the heck? The music is really great, and even if you aren't a DBZ fan, you should buy this CD.

A Great CD.......2004-04-26

I really love rock and after I had heard Slow Roosevelt, I loved it even more. I had first heard of Slow Roosevelt when I had seen Dragonballz "Broly the Ledgendary Super Sayin". The movie was great and the music was just as good. So I checked out one of the bands (which was Slow Roosevelt). They did two songs from the cd on the movie and I loved them. Not only were the two songs from the movie great but so was everything else. I hope my review encourages you to get this great cd.

GREATNESS.......2004-03-25

Peter Thomas is a God. This CD has no flaws. Every song from the single Boys Lie Girls Steal to the hardcore Silverback rock. If you are a fan of hardcore rock music you need to buy this album. Here is a song by song rundown:

From laughing comes crying: 10/10 Very good vocals
Piss and vinegar: 10/10 One of the best songs on the album

Racer X: 10/10 Another great song
Mouth Wide Shut: 10/10 Very catchy song
Paperheart: 10/10 Good song

All the performances on here are great. These shows have long been known among Deadheads as being some of the band's best shows ever. One of the reels were missing from the vault and a couple more were defective. Dispite all this, David and Jeff were able to pull this release together. There isn't one down moment on this release. The sound is well mixed with everything up front, even Keith which is nice for a change.

If you are into Slow Roosevelt then you could probably do without this cd. The production value is pretty low and well they just don't sound like they do now. Not that the music contained on it is too bad, just that the production value sucks so its kinda hard to care. Get Weightless, great production value and GREAT hard rock/metal. Also, Amazon has the original release date on this as 1991 when in fact it came out 1996 (that's from the cd itself).

Slow Roosevelt recently broke up and i must say that i was quite dissapointed that i will get no more new music from such a great local dallas band. This cd will most definitly be out of print in the not so distant future, so if you have ever had the pleasure of catching slow roosevlet live then this maybe the last chance you have to take them home with you. I hope you enjoy this cd as much as i do.

All but one of the songs on this album are totally great, which is a rare find. I've had it for years and still enjoy it a lot.

I have been following Slow Ro since they first started up. If you like driving guitar and loud nirvana like lyrics than you will dig Slow Ro. If you are a thinking mans music lover than you might not like this one. Its good for what it is. They are a heavy metal punk like band and that is what they do well. So Rock on guys and keep it up.
