About the Artist
Intent on crafting original Alt-Country music and united by a love of solid, honest songwriting, The Wrenfields have proven to be one of the smartest-thinking, hardest-working, loudest-rocking country bands. Dubbed early on as “Detroit’s Favorite Alt-Country Group� by the Detroit MetroTimes, the band’s members collectively combine their diverse musical influences and wealth of experiences to deliver a brand of genre-crossing country music that garners critical accolades, not only from national press but also critics in Italy, Belgium, England, Japan and Canada. The Wrenfields have shared the stage with such performers as Darrel Worley, The Silos, Lorrie Morgan, Fred Eaglesmith, Jim Roll, Pin Monkey, and Restless Heart, to name a few. The band wowed crowds at the 2004 Meijer All American Jam, the 2003 North by Northeast (NXNE) Festival in Toronto, the 2002-2004 Budweiser Detroit Hoedown along with National Artists such as LeAnn Rimes, Trace Adkins, Ricky Skaggs and Patty Loveless. The band also showcased at the 2004 Detroit Music Awards Show at the State Theater in Detroit, Michigan. In 2001, The Wrenfields’ debut album 21st Century Pioneer was released. Detroit Free Press Staff Writer Greg Crawford wrote: “The 13 tunes on ‘21st Century Pioneer’, all written by band members, transport listeners to an infectiously happy American heartland filled with blue skies, innocent romance and outdoor vistas that beg to be painted.� The album’s producer Tyler Brown, who worked with ex-Jayhawks front man Mark Olson and singer/songwriter Victoria Williams, brought experience and focus to the recording. The album was recorded and mixed at the band’s own Compound Studio in Dearborn, Michigan.  In October 2002, The Wrenfields served-up Seconds, a release gravitating toward an honest, pure country sound. The eleven songs from their sophomore effort carry the listener through a wide spectrum of emotion. Tracks include the two-stepping, roadhouse-style “Every Now and Then� and “Lovesick�; the heartfelt response to September 11th “Patriot’s Day (Katie Bar the Door)�; the beautiful ballads “We Must Say Goodbye� and “Never Once Alone�; and the all-out rocking cuts “Mother Nature Girl�, “Worthless� and “Carry Me Away�.  Altcountrytab.com’s Doug Floyd gave Seconds four stars and wrote “As a musician, if I could get to play in my ideal alt.country band, this is the kind of music I would love to play.� Like the first release, Seconds was engineered and produced by Tyler Brown at the Compound Studio. David Wolfenberger, drummer for Mark Olson and The Creek Dippers, appears on the CD, sweetening the mix by adding banjo, guitar and mountain dulcimer.

By winning 6 Detroit Music Awards in the last three years including back-to-back wins for Outstanding Country Recording â€" 21st Century Pioneer (2002) and Seconds (2003), and Outstanding Country Group (2002-2004), the band has brought Alt.Country music to a wide audience, establishing a loyal following centered in the Midwest and ever-expanding outward. Tunes from 21st Century Pioneer and Seconds regularly receive airplay on radio stations across North America and continental Europe. The Wrenfields’ songwriting is refined, coherent and displays their experience and diligent hard work. Alt-Country standard bearers Wilco, The Jayhawks and Lucinda Williams are major influences to the band and the lineage is evident in the music.

Product Description
The album smoulders away to start, the songs are solid enough, “I felt Rain� three tracks in holds the country influence deeper into its heart after the country rock of “Every Know and Then� and “We Must say Goodbye� but it is “Carry me Away� that really sets the album alight. A wonderfully soaring country rock track with equal measures of everything that you would want or come to expect from a great song! Starting with a gently strummed resonator guitar, some cool and tender electric piano blends in before the song bursts like a firework into a gorgeously harmonised display of beauty…stunning. “Souvenir Smile� is up there with it as one of the top songs on the album, a powerful half ballad, with a tip in the direction of the Byrds, and Roger McGuinn's twelve string jangle. The guitar solo here is another example of the fine playing of Tom Morgan backed by Matt O’Bryan’s acoustic embellishment. Novrocki has a really warm and (dare I say! it) sexy voice which gives the band depth and variety, especially when she gets to take to lead on tracks like the uplifting “Gonna be Happy�- a real touch of summer for these cold Winter evenings. Pyro can really turn on the rock ‘n’ roll raunch when called for, “Lovesick� for example lets him rattle the vocal chords with a real slice of Stonesy riff 'n' roll to spur him on and “Worthless� supplies more of the same spirited attack. One track that may garner some attention is the 9/11 song “Patriots Day� which may generate some criticism of jingoism with its obvious ‘up and at ‘em’ attitude: “The sleepin’ giant wakes again The sleepin’ giant wakes again The sleepin’ giant wakes again They’d better run, they’d better hide� ...Which is maybe not the subtlest reaction recorded post tragedy, but it is a point that echoes the sentiments of many and it is a very powerfully made statement, so I will leave that one up to the individual to decide upon. As a whole though this album is just a simple joy to experience and this one song, which I feel sits rather uncomfortably with the other ten on the album, should not be a deterrent for would-be buyers, just skip forward to something like “Mother Nature Girl� and more of Noreen Novrocki’s soaring vocals and things just fall back into place. As a musician, if I could get to play in my ideal alt.country band, this is the kind of music I would love to play. There is a just enough twang and some great country edged rock. On the performance front, the guitar playing, rhythm section and vocals are gutsy but thoughtfully put together. The up tempo numbers are effervescent and captivating, full of energy with a solid rock resonance, especially when Pyro sets his vocals free and gives it some! Noreen’s (I feel we’re ready for first name terms, the amount of airplay I have given this) vocals are delightful, adding sparkle to an already luminous production. A thoroughly enjoyable album, warm and inviting, with lots of energy and one well worth tracking down. - Doug Floyd - AltCountryTab.com

With over 15 acclaimed films to his credit, actor Jared Leto knew he had a challenge in creating a legitimate musical group, and the fact that a great many gifted thespians have pumped out some pretty awful albums hasn't slowed him at all. "Any time you have a precedent that's negative like that, you're gonna have an uphill battle," he agrees. "I've never shied away from that." Yet 30 Seconds To Mars' self-titled 2002 debut easily established the group as a fresh, new force, revealing a multi-faceted outfit that thrived on creative exploration and escape.

Three years later, their follow-up, A Beautiful Lie, catapulted the group to even greater success. Where the debut's line-up featured Jared on all guitar, bass, synth and vocals with brother Shannon on drums, a full collaboration developed with A Beautiful Lie, including guitarist Tomo Milicevic and bassist Matt Wachter. "The last thing we wanted to do was make the same record twice," Leto explains. Hundreds of tour dates and a 1996 MTV Nomination for "Best Video" later, 30 Seconds To Mars are proving their stability and still challenging their position. "We're interested in being as modern as we can," Leto concludes. "We're striving to do something different, to look forward rather than back, to be free from the shadows of our inspiration, and to continue, with our voice to make our mark."

5 out of 5 stars Great songs, Great sound, Great Band. .......2007-05-31

A Beautiful lie is my first 30 Seconds to Mars CD. After listening to it thoroughly, I can't wait for their next album.
Every song has a different sound to it, which makes the CD even better because you really can't put a certain theme on it--I like that.
I especially like 'The Kill', 'A beautiful lie', 'Attack' and 'From Yesterday', but that is not to say that I dislike any of the other songs: each one is fantastic in its own right.
Appart from Panic! At the Disco's Debut Album, "A Beautiful Lie" is my favorite CD of 2005.
With this album, 30 Seconds to Mars has won itself a good position in my highly-coveted (at least I think so) list of favorite bands.
Anyone who wishes to spend some money on some quality rock-punk-emo music, should definitely look no further.

1 out of 5 stars Protected CD - DO NOT BUY.......2007-05-23

Consumers should know that this CD is a DRM protected CD and will not be able to be read in most computer CD-ROM drives along with certain regular audio CD players. I recently purchased this CD only to find out that I could only use it in the car and an old CD player I happened to still have.

Like most people I usually rip my CD's to MP3s and do the majority of listening either at my computer or on the go with my MP3 player. This isn't even a remote possibility. Do not support companies and bands that restrict consumer's rights!

This is a Virgin Records CD.

3 out of 5 stars Different from their first album; energetic rock with some pretensions.......2007-05-22

The good:
- Interesting song topics - far from the standard concerns of pop/rock. Leto is interested in internal battles, progress of life (fitting for an actor, I guess)
- More variety between and within songs (tempo, topics) than the first album
- Some catchy hook songs like From Yesterday and Attack
- Less noise and more music
The bad
- Verges on pretentious at times
- There's still no guitarist capable of a good lead to sustain the songs - sometimes songs just feel incomplete
- Jared's vocals are still somewhat marginal, not really skilled, rather just enthusiastic
- Doesn't have quite the intensity of the first album
Somehow I found this a bit forgettable - there was nothing I disliked, and some good songs, but I only listened to it a couple of times.

Incidentally - I really like the "addon" track Hunter as it is quite different from the rest - more mellow, quietly intense - and Leto doesnt do any screaming in it ;) Battle of One is also OK.

5 out of 5 stars Buy it immediately you won't be sorry.......2007-05-18

Wow, I was so taken away with this album. I found the band while looking for the new Linkin Park video. I stumbled onto the video "From Yesterday" and was immediately hooked. I listened to the CD about 10 times all the way through before I bothered to find out who I was listening too. Jared Leto has an amazing voice and the metal riffs mixed with strong lyrics and an overall great sound make this the best CD find of the year. I immediately ditched the new Linkin Park CD and went back to listening to Beautiful Lie. I just can't get enough.

From Yesterday has extreme mass appeal and is certainly the hook. But I really love R-Evolve the best. This song just has some of the best vocals I've heard from a mainstream band since Evanescence stumbled on the scene. Savior is another favorite, I love the harder riffs mixed with Jared's superior vocals. For a lighter style, this band is really appealing and easy to listen to again and again. I'm a metal fan so I love rock that has many transitions, and 30 Seconds seems to get that. There are several stops and starts and changes to slower beats. The drummer also seems to like irregular beats, this adds that extra level of complexity missing in so many of today's mainstream rock bands. I think both metal and rock fans can find something commendable with this album.

Buy it immediately and listen to it a hundred times.

4 out of 5 stars Don't hate them because he's pretty.......2007-05-12

I'll be the first to admit that when I heard that pretty boy from My So-Called Life put a band together, put on some eyeliner, and recorded a couple of albums I wrote it off as a Dogstar-ish (Keanu Reeves) effort. It didn't help their cause that Jared Leto is just a very pretty man. There...I said it. Jealousy? Maybe but it'd be like Angelina Jolie becoming a jazz singer. Again, I was wrong. I was completely wrong. These guys kick some serious butt. The music is tight, fast, and hard. The lyrics are fluid, catchy, and just deep enough to rise about the mainstream. If you want to hear some good musicians just tear it up. This is a solid buy. Their really isn't a weak song. It's a tight album.

4 out of 5 stars Descent album.......2007-06-10

All of this bands albums to date are descent. This is their first major release. It's a little bit more electronic than "a beautiful lie." But there are some very descent songs on this album. It gets a bit repeditive towards the end of the album, so be prepared for that.

5 out of 5 stars wow.......2007-06-03

When I first listened to this CD I was expecting something similar to their second CD. Their second cd has some good songs on it, but overall it just isn't that unique and is completely different. Anyways, this CD is like I said, Nothing at all like the first. This is a good thing. It has a really unique sound to it and really grows on you when you listen to it. All I can say is they should have made their second cd more like this one, not emo garb that gives them a mediocre name to anyone without a flippy hairdue. Most people have not listened to this and base the band soley off of their second album. Give this one a chance.

5 out of 5 stars EXACTLY what I was hoping for!.......2007-05-10

I am so thrilled about this cd! The quality was perfect and it was everything I wanted! I would definitely purchase from these guys again! :)

5 out of 5 stars Refreshingly Surprising!.......2007-04-27

To be honest with you, after hearing "The Kill" on MTV I was intrigued with 30 Seconds to Mars, but I wasn't too hopeful as I'm not a big emo fan and that's the direction that I thought they would stick to. My friend suggested getting their first album, and I absolutely love this CD. The music doesn't really fit into a specific genre, but the sound is amazingly dense and completely fills your ears. Jared Leto really is an amazing singer and the layering of the vocals on the CD amplifies it tenfold. He teases with nearing the border of screaming on a few of the songs and when he does scream, it's perfectly placed and far from "screaming for the sake of screaming." There's nothing truly profound about the lyrics or instrumental capabilities of the musicians, but the songs are catchy, hard driving, and extremely well mixed and produced. I was thoroughly disappointed with the second album after listening to this one, two thumbs up and all that jazz.

5 out of 5 stars This is what music should sound like.......2007-04-23

I live in a cave so I had no idea who 30STM was. I'd heard the name mentioned in passing but paid no mind. Then I saw the CD on sale at WalMart and went home and pulled it up on my musicmatch account and within 20 seconds my mouth was hanging open. WOW. It's like the Deftones married Mars Volta but a hundred times better. I bought A Beautiful Lie and it's good, but not as good as this one.

5 out of 5 stars This CD is awesome!.......2007-06-10

I LOVE 30 Seconds to Mars. Jared Leto finds a way to reinvent himself with each release, and it is so refreshing to hear something that doesn't sound like everything else on the radio. I highly recommend this CD.

5 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Lie - Beautifully Enhanced.......2007-04-12

I highly recommend this to any 30STM fan, even those who already have the album - A Beautiful Lie. The enhanced DVD enables the fan to take a closer look at the making of 'The Kill' video, plus a full version of the video... and other interviews. The enhanced CD is not to be missed !
For anyone who isn't sure... be curious, dont miss out.

5 out of 5 stars An amazing and unexpected treasure.......2007-03-22

NOTE: The full CD is available without the DVD and the hefty price. Just search for it on Amazon and look for the WHITE jacket. This review covers the music on the CD only.

We are fairly fickle about our CD collection and the quality the bands must maintain. Having said that, some bands are not purchases out-of-the-gate, or on release day. For a few, like this 30 Seconds to Mars CD, they have to glean our interest from radio and video releases first.

And wow, have they done that. Once FROM YESTERDAY came out, we knew we had to own the CD. But it was soon apparent that was only the beginning. If you are worried that the constant yelling vocals of Jared Leto may indicate an album that is "less than," DON'T BE! From start to finish this CD has no deletable tracks - a feature that gets quite a bit of use in our household (we can clear CD tracks from the player that we do not want it to play).

Don't waver any more if you are questioning the addition of this CD to your collection. The radio and video hits are only a hint of what is being offered, and we look forward to the next 30 Seconds to Mars release.

I cannot really equate them to any other band, which is the most difficult part of assessing the quality of the 30 Seconds tracks. That alone should be an indicator of why this CD is a must-own.

Saw a video from this album last month on LOGO tv and really liked it. It was a Valentine's Day gift for 2007 and I liked all of the songs equally which is rather rare on many albums these days. If you like gothic/metal music then this might be for you.

5 out of 5 stars Music for a Splendid Voyage.......2007-06-14


I have treated Seconds Out like it was a case of vintage Dom Perignon since I first heard it at age 16, shortly after it was released. I only bring it out when I need true transcendence, and it has NEVER disappointed.
The first four tracks are pleasant but, compared to the rest, merely excellent (though Carpet Crawlers is hypnotically mellifluous). From Firth of Fifth on, there is pure magic in every tune. They are almost all Gabriel compositions from the band's best era, and Collins had yet to go pop, so he gives each song the loving respect it deserves, and his strong voice takes the music places Peter's never could. Melding some of rock's wisest and most transportive lyrics with myriad melodies and thunderous climaxes, this is Genesis' masterpiece, and no other band has ever made it to this particular musical Valhalla.
Back when inner voyaging was my main occupation, I could always count on Firth of Fifth and Cinema Show to take me to the crest of a peak and launch me into the heavens. Time after time, year after year, those tunes carried me all the way home. If you've ever peaked so hard your entire body convulses with every note, you know what I mean. If you haven't, do your research on how to get there cleanly and wisely, get in the right time and place and mindset, and put these two tunes on, LOUD, loud enough to make you feel the music in every cell of your body, not just hear it; you'll get there, and it will change your life from that moment on.
This is yet another amazingly perfect live show recorded in Paris, like Babylon By Bus, Bill Evans' Paris Concert, and so many others. Paris makes the magic come to life. Spend some time in the city and it's easy to see why. The architecture and ambience are non pareil; it would be hard to not be inspired there. Genesis clearly were.
This music breathes and takes on a life of its own, especially on Firth, Cinema, the Musical Box crescendo, and Supper's Ready; how many bands can write a 25-minute rock symphony, and have it go this many places with this much color and depth? I can think of only one.
I haven't heard this cd, so I can't say if they've come close to the incredible vinyl version (hope so but doubt it). I have three original copies, and my pristine japanese virgin vinyl version still emerges from the vault once a year or so when the muses let me know that it's time to ascend to the land of pure bliss again. When cds were invented, my first thought was, Seconds Out with zero crackle and pop! But alas, cds suck and are flat and dead; digital simply can not touch analog for warmth and depth. Still, if ever a recording deserved a 5.1 super-cd ultimate This Is It version, it's Seconds Out.
Apparently Hackett left after this record because he was mixed down too far, among other reasons, but I think that helps the ghostly textures he created with his volume pedal and delays become part of the overall music, rather than a normal lead sound. There is a haunting feeling here (haunted by PG's spirit making sure his music and incomparable lyrics were respected?) that is far beyond the sum of each player's part. Chester's drumming (and Bruford's on Cinema) is in perfect harmony, their jazz chops adding to the band's progressive/classical feel, and the drum duet on Los Endos is another fine peak. Collins was a hell of a drummer, a forgotten fact.
Banks shows himself to be a major part of Genesis' magic, his endlessly melodic parts always making everything sound sublimely musical. He and Rutherford and Hackett were a magnificent team, and they left us with this incredible document. I've listened to many Genesis bootlegs but have never heard a show that was as musically superlative as this, though some of the Lamb tour is killer. Add to that the legendary sound quality...this is easily one of the finest-sounding live albums by any band ever---thank you Mr. Hentschel, you are a genius...and we have one of the sweetest recordings for inner space travel available on this planet.
This is NOT background music. It demands total immersion on great headphones or an audiophile system, vinyl much preferred, volume waaay up, lights out, phone off the hook, doors locked, mind wide open. Give it the respect it deserves, and Seconds Out will take you places you have never been, places where you become part of the music of the spheres and you are complete.
Bon Voyageeee!!

5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2007-06-08

I had this disk in vinyl, and finally I have decided to have it in CD.
Amazing, the sound and the presentation.
If you are a Genesis' fan, and specially about the Peter Gabriel's period in Genesis, you should have it. Don't doubt.

If you are a fan of "classic" Genesis (i.e. the non-pop, recorded for radio stuff)this is the quintesential live Genesis album.

5 out of 5 stars Best live album.......2007-03-09

My best friend talked me into going to the Genesis concert in 1977 in Seattle. Before the concert I only listen to A Trick of the Tail but I was blow away with the concert. Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks, Steve Hackett and Chester Thompson click as a group. Before this concert I was able to see YES, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull and other big groups from that era but Genesis 1977 tour was the very best concert I have every attended. When the Seconds Out album debuted I was reluctant to purchase it because of my bias from seeing the concert, but I was very wrong. This album captures the essence of the concert. I can put my headphones on and close my eyes and I will be transported back to the concert. I was able to see Genesis during there 1984 tour and it was not nearly as good as the 1977 tour. Of all the albums to own from Genesis this a must album. You will not be disappointed with the quality or the sound that is delivered.

3 out of 5 stars Great live album, but..........2007-02-12

The sound is a bit "flat" if you see what I mean. I agree with some of the reviewer, the bass is hard to find sometimes, and the guitar is flat.
There are songs that I just hate on this album, even if I love the studio version of these same songs. The best example is "The lamb lies down", I think that it is a bad version, the vocal are horrible and the music is not better. I don't like "Robbery, Assault and battery" and "I know what I like"..Also, cutting "Dance on the volcano" was not a good idea, the best part of this song is not there (the ending section)
Now, let's give the good news, Firth of fifth is incredible, Supper's ready is well done also and The cinema Show is amazing. Good live version of Los Endos. Squonk and Carpet Crawlers are just OK, but the studio version are better. Overall, I am 50% satisfied with this double live album, hence the mid point rating.

Amazon.com's Best of 2001

Saliva's heavy rock--with a dash of rap--is at once current and timeless, unlike many of the bands spawned by Korn and Limp Bizkit. This Memphis-bred bunch's powerful, diverse debut features a dozen lyrically and musically focused tracks from a band clearly possessed of strong chops and smart heads. Rangy singer Josey Scott's passionate delivery works well when matched with the chunky riffing of "Musta Been Wrong," the soaring, layered song's intensity balanced by shredding guitar. Every Six Seconds has many such moments, with producer Bob Marlette's taut, techno-inflected touch lending "Lackluster" and "Faultline" a NIN vibe. "Hollywood" is a classic midtempo take on Tinseltown, while the CD's first single, "Your Disease," is simply a hit. "My Goodbyes," the ideal album closer, has a mystical musical quality befitting departed loved ones. Ultimately, Saliva's thoughtful, heartfelt, earthy intensity make Every Six Seconds an impressive entrée from start to finish. --Katherine Turman

5 out of 5 stars A huge step forward for music.......2007-02-20

I was hooked from the very first time I heard " Your Disease". I saw the video and was just blown away. I found the CD for like $6.99 at Best Buy when it came out and it has been played so many times I can't count.
I have bought all there CD' since the first. Each time I am waiting the day the are released. I have seen them live and they are one of the best shows ( I have seen more than 60) I have ver seen. I met Josie Scott and he is abosolutely real...

5 out of 5 stars Awsome music, great show!!!!!.......2006-01-08

I have been a fan of these guys since their start. I saw them at one of their shows and was blown away. I was lucky enough to be within 15 feet of the band and the show was amazing! If you have a chance to catch their show, do it! I highly recommend this cd and all of their others! I can't wait to see them in person again!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars a realy good heavy rock cd.......2005-09-12

this is a very good band wich folows a very good cd. they are very good i started listen to them after seeing the movie the fast and the furious. they are one good band and this album is very good.

3 out of 5 stars My first taste of this punk-rap-rock band Saliva.......2005-07-01

A friend of mine told me I would enjoy this album as he and I have some similar music tastes. So I purchased this CD through Amazon.com believing this was their debut album but in actual fact it's their sophmore album from 2001. Overall this Memphis based band from the USA splices their rock music with bits from punk and a splice from rap. Linkin Park did this successfully, but I just couldn't quite get this band's musical sound. To me it sounded like they had not captured their own sound and were borrowing heavily from other well known groups in the rock and punk scene like Korn and Nickelback. All in all this album release lacked successful cohesiveness. Not that it's a bad effort, just the end result doesn't pan out. The lyrics of the songs are at times hard to understand and the lead vocalist has a tendency to bark out the lyrics and scream it out. However 'Saliva' is a young band and they will mature into their own music style with successive albums. Two songs on this album worth a spin are 'Click Click, Boom' & 'Beg'. Only for hardcore nu-metal fans and fans of hard rock.

5 out of 5 stars real music for the masses.......2005-06-12

I still listen to this as much as did when it first came out. My first experience with Saliva was the video for " Your disease".
I was blown away by the power and energy this band has. The world has been void of hard rock for too long. In the times of digital music this a refreshing look back to when music was fun and the bands were almost dangerous. This cd has an edge on it that only a few bands can manage in modern times. "Musta been wrong", "your disease", and "hollywood" are some of the better tracks.
If you are a hard rock fan try this one you won't be disappointed.

Though Rockpile managed only one, nigh-perfect album at the height of the '80s new wave boom, its members--Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Billy Bremner, and Terry Williams--had played together in various incarnations, in some instances for over a decade: Edmunds and drummer Williams had been in the '60s power trio Love Sculpture; all had played on Lowe's '78 album Jesus of Cool and Edmunds's '79 collection Repeat When Necessary. But Seconds of Pleasure became their most complete and satisfying pop statement--if their ironic swan song, as well. This newly remastered collection features the complete original album, as informed and vibrant a tribute to American rockabilly and R&B roots (with an amped-up take of Joe Tex's "If Sugar Was as Sweet as You" and inviting reworkings of Gene Chandler's "Teacher Teacher" and Chuck Berry's obscure "Oh What a Thrill") as any contemporary group has ever managed--especially considering three quarters of the material is either Rockpile originals or contemporary compositions, like "Wrong Again" by Squeeze songwriters/mainstays Difford and Tilbrook. The generous slate of bonus tracks features all four acoustic, live-in-the studio tracks from the Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds Sing the Everly Brothers tribute EP distributed with initial pressings of the LP; two fine live BBC recordings from '77; a cover of Graham Parker's "Back to Schooldays"; a band original, "They Called It Rock"; and a blistering live rendition of Parker's "Crawling from the Wreckage" from one of the band's last appearances together at the Concert for Kampuchea. Though Lowe may now downplay them as "a posh bar band" who "specialized in playing Chuck Berry music four times faster than anyone else," Rockpile was truly one of the great rock bands of their--or any--era. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars One of the best CDs ever recorded!.......2007-05-12

I have heard songs off of this albums since it came out when I was only a school boy. I never putt it together that this was a super-group or even that these songs were on the same album. When I was old enough to put this together it then became impossible to find this recording. Now that I have and I have it, I realize it's even better then the few songs that infected me earlier in life. I love the up-beat rockabilly songs like "Heart", "Teacher, Teacher", and "Play That Fast Thing", but I also love the less rocking numbers as much. Add to all of this the bonus material now available on the CD and "Seconds of Pleasure" now translates into hours of pure listening pleasure!

5 out of 5 stars Great Pop Music! .......2007-01-15

What happens when you merge the incredible talents of Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe, 2 of the seminal Pop music artists of the '70's-'80's-'90's? Happily, you get great pop music that creates a party atmosphere anywhere it's played. Along with the fun melodies and beats are witty tongue-in-cheek lyrics that have you laughing while you are dancing. Seconds of Pleasure is a classic CD that deserves to be discovered by new generations of music listeners for years to come.

5 out of 5 stars pub rock's supergroup.......2006-03-20

This record holds up really well, and as an example of accomplished musicians playing music that they obviously love, drawing on influences ranging from Chuck Berry to the Everly Brothers, and putting egos aside (at least temporarily) so as to function as a true group, in which each member contributes much, with fantastic results. The end result here is a wonderful, warm, deeply catchy record that rocks steadily; they called it rock, indeed!

4 out of 5 stars +1/2 -- Swansong from legendary UK rock 'n' roll quartet.......2005-09-28

When first issued in 1980, this was the culmination, and ultimately the final statement from a quartet that had variously backed Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds on their "solo" albums. In a large sense, this album is the pay-off on both Lowe's and Edmunds' years as producers and artists, deftly combining Lowe's pub-rock and basher-pop esthetics with Edmunds love of retro-rock and R&B. The band's history as a power stage act also pays dividends in the live feeling they gave to these studio recordings. The result is a celebration of all things rock 'n' roll, with a joyous tone that belies the apparent turmoil that was destroying the group as they recorded this swan-song.

I've gone back and forth on this LP. I found it disappointing upon first hearing it, feeling it didn't compare favorably to Lowe's "The Jesus of Cool" or Edmunds' "Tracks on Wax 4." But over the years I've found the songs to grow on me, and though the CD reissue (and perhaps the original LP) has a somewhat pinched, barely-stereo mix on many tracks, the performances and arrangements hold up. Columbia's Legacy reissue sweetens the original eleven tracks with seven worthy bonuses, including the essential quartet of Everly Brothers songs that were included on a 7" with the original LP. An additional trio of live tracks ("Back to Schooldays" "They Called it Rock" "Crawling From the Wreckage") show how powerfully sloppy the band was as a live act. 4-1/2 stars, if allowed fractional ratings.

5 out of 5 stars Still a great big pile of rock (and then some).......2005-09-13

Who said all rock'n'roll tragedies have to be fatal? One of the greatest is the dissolution of Rockpile in 1980, just as they were on the cusp of something really, really big. Four musicians who knew what they were doing, two gifted songwriters (Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds) with encyclopedic knowledge and big names of their own, most of them working together for years on Dave and Nick's "solo" albums before the big break came -- and then it all fell apart. At least The Everly Brothers, whom the dynamic duo so lovingly paid homage to, eventually reunited.
What was puzzling to outsiders about the Rockpile breakup was that it was such a contrast to the upbeat, almost joyous music on their only album under the band name. They rumbled out of the gate with that catchy "Teacher Teacher," with Nick singing in that distinctive British wise-owl voice of his (I never knew it was a Gene Chandler tune), straight into Dave and his high-pitched Welsh warble belting out Toe Tex's "If Sugar Was as Sweet as You" as another sing-song soul raveup. And save for a couple of speed bumps, they kept up the pace for a full album, with the high point being the pure, unadulterated, full-on, boyish "Heart," sung in high spirits (and high register) by bassist Billy Bremner. And along the way, there are also the bar-band bounce of "Play That Fast Thing (One More Time)" and "You Ain't Nothin' but Fine," Edmunds driving home the rock'n'roll grind of Difford & Tilbrook's high-rev "Wrong Again (Let's Face It)," a very Berry remake of Chuck Berry's "Oh What a Thrill," and the overreaching heartache of "Now and Always," a tune that wouldn't have been out of place in Buddy Holly's record collection. "Seconds of Pleasure" was one great big lovable pile of rock when I bought it in college and played it over and over, and 25 years later, it still is. The only things that have aged are the musicians and their fans.
And the bonus tracks make it all the better. The live cuts are OK (all said, I wish they could've licensed their version of "Little Sister" with Robert Plant from the Kampuchea album), but the inclusion of the "Nick Lowe & Dave Edmunds Sing The Everly Brothers" EP, a limited-edition four-song 7-incher from the early pressings of the LP, is just plain wonderful. They paid loving tributes to Phil and Don without trying to ape them, and just to have pristine versions of their incredibly sweetly sad versions of "Message to Mary" and "Crying in the Rain" is worth the price of the CD.
Y'know, every time I hear or see Nick Lowe these days, I get this feeling of sadness. These days, he kills us quietly with his stellar writing and his acoustic guitar. But I remember too fondly the days of Rockpile -- of this album and previous clever Nicktunes such as "Cruel to Be Kind," "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding," "They Called It Rock," "American Squirm" and "Rollers Show" -- and just wish for one more bit of that Rockpile magic. And having the enhanced CD brings back the very same feeling.

Nicolas Cage plays Randall "Memphis" Raines, a former legendary car thief (who could guarantee any car "gone in 60 seconds") drawn back into the life to save his younger brother from an unfortunate fate. Surprisingly, the music accompanying this car-centric action film isn't the high-speed chase you might expect. Instead, it's a diverse, textured amalgam of styles from the heated polemics of Ice Cube (the explicit version of "Roll All Day" is on the soundtrack, the censored version is in the film) to the art rock of critics' fave Gomez ("Machismo") and the acclaimed electronica of the Chemical Brothers. Perennial soundtrack contributor Moby delivers the previously unreleased moody trip-out "Flower," while the Cult perform songwriter-for-hire Diane Warren's "Painted on My Heart," which is essentially the AOR the band once sought all those years ago. Best are the collaborations: Groove Armada, featuring M.A.D., handle "Rap," an ominous, layered, keyboard-based rap, and BT, featuring Soul Coughing's M. Doughty, up the beat cycle slightly for the psychedelically driving and heavily melodic "Never Gonna Come Back Down." --Rob O'Connor

5 out of 5 stars Awesome Soundtrack!!.......2007-03-09

For those of us looking for the song "Low Rider" by War, check out the soundtrack for 'A Knight's Tale'. That is another great soundtrack that is worth listening too!!

5 out of 5 stars Song?.......2005-05-21

Does anyone have the instrumental to BT's Never Gonna Come Back Down? It had a part I really liked that I couldn't hear with the vocals in the background. It's the song they play while they're hotwiring the Ferraris (and Sway says "Hello, ladies. Always was a sucker for a redhead.").

3 out of 5 stars Not bad, but not great either.......2005-01-18

A few of these songs are downright awful (Moby's "Flower," in my opinion being one), but a few are also pretty good. Trevor Rabin's "Boost Me" is easily the best song on this CD and is almost worth the price of the disc alone (especially considering the fact that most conventional albums only have 1 or 2 good songs anyway, also at an average price of over $15 apiece). Naturally, the biggest gripe most people have about this soundtrack (myself included) is the absense of "Low Rider." I suppose they weren't able to get the rights to put it on the album for the same reason "Thriller" didn't make it onto the 13 Going On 30 soundtrack (prohibitive licensing fees), but it's still an all-but inexcusable omission.

2 out of 5 stars what were they thinking?.......2004-11-19

I can't believe some of the songs on this soundtrack...they are horrible pieces of S$#!?*&%#!#$!There are a couple good ones,but its not worth spending the money on for the c.d,not even at a used price.I can't believe they did'nt put "Low Rider" on the soundtrack,how cheap is that?

I thought that the movie was ok, but it was the soundtrack that made it great. With the variety of songs, from slow to high intensity, it is just a fun album to listen to. Especially in the pickup on the way to a Rodeo!

5 out of 5 stars Lane Frost What A Cowboy/BullRider Should Be .......2006-06-21

Great country music I listened to when I was going down the road hard in the late 70's and through the 80's to make 8. Lane was an explemetary person, and one hell of a bull rider he always came to ride.

5 out of 5 stars great movie!!.......2006-02-24

If you haven't seen this movie - then you aren't a part of THIS world! This movie is awesome!! I am a serious bullriding fan and I think that all 3 actors portraying Lane, Kelly and Tuff did an EXCELLENT job - great movie, great soundtrack. I bought them both and absolutely love them!!

5 out of 5 stars Amazing!.......2004-09-13

Like the movie this soundtrack is awesome. Its even better than the movie because you can't see some of the bad acting. Still its one of the best cowboy movies of all time and this soundtrack makes it even better.

1 out of 5 stars Bought for one song.......2003-04-23

I only bought this for the one Reba Song. I am not a fan of hers in a way that I would purchase a entire cd of hers... but If I had Only Known was an excellent song and that is why I bought it.

But it was an Excellent Movie

5 out of 5 stars A good value.......2007-05-17

I wasn't expecting to have 4 discs for this price, and the music is a quality selection of film music, giving a good scope of the genre, and a very listenable transfer.

4 out of 5 stars The Sound Track Since Bernard Hermann.......2006-07-25

This collection is bound to capture your heart and evoke a tin ear on successive tracks. I found much to like and some duds - easy to skip over.
Very good value.

For the price, this CD is a great bargain. The musical selections, as you might expect, are mixed in quality ranging from extraordinary to so so, the balance being worthwhile and interesting. Sonically the CD is excellent.

Album Description

Originally a Goth-flavored post-punk outfit, the Cure evolved into one of the truly seminal bands of the '80s, and ultimately one of modern rock's most celebrated and influential acts. Guided by creative visionary Robert Smith, the Cure's signature sound balances a dreamy pop savvy with a dark, brooding majesty and fuses superbly crafted, literate songs with a feverish emotional intensity. The band's early catalog-newly remastered and expanded wtih a wealth of rarities-is a series of masterpieces that laid the groundwork for their phenomenal and enduring popularity.

5 out of 5 stars Should be called The Audiophile Edition.......2007-05-17

I liked the music itself before, but the sound quality of this recording is like icing on the cake. Some songs have the vocals a bit quieter than the original, but since Mad Bob was at the board, I assume that was his vision. I think it's an improvement on the original. This is the first of Rhino's deluxe cure ablums I've purchased, and on the strength of this one I plan to get the rest.

5 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece and Touchstone of Minimalist Rock.......2006-11-15

"[SEVENTEEN SECONDS] was the first record I felt was really the Cure."
- Cure mastermind Robert Smith, liner notes

This album, the Cure's second, is spare, gloomy, atmospheric and even beautiful in its own way. If you can get into this kind of mood, SEVENTEEN SECONDS is absolutely brilliant. It also contains "A Forest," complete with its gorgeous, haunting intro (which was edited from the STANDING ON A BEACH compilation). "A Forest" is one of the most quintessential Cure songs. Other highlights include the dreamy "In Your House" and the creepy, ominous "At Night."

The title track is a strange song, and I've often wondered what it means. Why "17" seconds? It seems to be making a point about the arbitrariness of existence. Years ago, I came up with this weird fantasy of what the song was about based on the line "Seventeen seconds/ A measure of life." I imagined this was the length of time a cherished Indian prince was alive after birth. I even told some people that's what it was about just for kicks! An actual quote - "No one has lived longer than a dead child, and Methusula (P'eng Tsu) died young. Heaven and Earth are as old as I and the ten thousand things are one." - Chuang Tzu, about 300 B.C., China

Disk 2:

Unlike some other reviewers on this forum, I think the one-off Cult Hero single included here is a cheeky hoot (Cult Hero were basically the Cure plus a bunch of friends including local postman Frank Bell on vocals and the super-talented, on-again-off-again Cure member Porl Thompson on guitar). I think "I'm A Cult Hero" and "I Dig You" are both funny, rocking and way cool. A great thing to throw on at a party . . . quite the opposite of SEVENTEEN SECONDS. They sound like they were having a blast on the live versions of these songs, also included. The Cure live tracks actually sound very good; Robert Smith's guitars sound clean and crisp on most tracks and Simon Gallup's bass is thick and resonant. As for the rest, the demos are mostly of use to die-hard fans who study everything by the Cure they can get their hands on, but the alternate mix of the bizarre "three" is pretty trippy.

3 out of 5 stars A Flawed Masterwork.......2006-08-31

Seventeen Seconds is rightly considered to be the real jumping off point of the trademark sound that continues up to the present(Three Imaginary Boys wasn't very indicative). So, this is a must have, being remastered and everything. And a bonus disc. Oh joy!
Buy this, but don't put your original up on Amazon or eBay. The bonus tracks are worth the price, but the first disc is far from improved. In fact, it's much worse. Yes, the playing is cleaned up some, but the vocals are very quiet. Too quiet. So far back in the mix that new ears could think it to be an all instrumental album unless they're really concentrating.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2006-07-20

This is a great addition to all Cure fan's collection. If you love the Cure and you already have this album, this collector version is perfect. If you're new to the cure and you dont have seventeen seconds already, buy this version instead of the single disk. This has lots of great tracks on it that have never been released before. ^-^

4 out of 5 stars Good effort by The Cure.......2006-03-14

Seventeen Seconds is not the best Cure album ever but it is also not the worst. Unless you are a hardcore Cure fan I wouldn't recommend buying the Deluxe Edition. Most of the B sides and rarites are just more of the same of what you will find on the original tracks. To me this album seems like a sister album to Faith. Both have a simple yet dark(not as dark as Pornograpy) sound to them. Highlights include, Play for Today, A Forest, and Seventeen Seconds.
