5 out of 5 stars A Palace of Great Songs.......2003-02-01

Having been a long tome fan of Blue Rodeo, I
can only offer that they continue to put out
great music. They have long been one of the
best bands to record & tour.
I highly recommend this CD, and if you ever
get the chance to see them in concert you
will be very pleased you did.
Palace of Gold offers the terrific song
writing of Greg Kellor & Jim Cuddy.
Cuddy's voice is pure Gold as evidenced
by this lastest effort,from the rocky
Walk Like You Don't Mind to the soulful
Bulletproof.
This is a must for anyone who enjoys < intelligent lyrics in their music!!!

5 out of 5 stars from one of Canada's best..........2003-01-29

This album is a bit of a change for Blue Rodeo, but still a great, consistent record. By no means is the change bad, the band has added horns on this album (and to their live shows) to help fill out their sound and it works very well. Long-time fans won't be disappointed, and this album should help convert those not already into the band. A great album by one of Canada's best bands.

4 out of 5 stars They did it again!.......2003-01-24

They sound a little different with some instrumental additions, but they still manage to come out with tunes that wrench at your soul and uplift it at the same time...like they always do!

4 out of 5 stars It takes a few listens.......2003-01-15

Like some of the other reviews here deriding this album, I was not impressed ... at first. Although listenable, the first seven songs seem done before with the obligatory politcal statement "Palace of Gold" being one of their weakest songs in recent recordings. But when I put this album on again for the first time in a few months, I as able to truly appreciate the quality in the remaining songs. Beginning with "Stage Door", the use of the horns and violins added a refreshing new mix to the already unique BR sound. In particular, "Stage Door" and "What a Surprise" integrates the new sound with strong melody to create two of the best recordings to come out of BR. It find it quite ironic that these two songs represent the best efforts on this album since I am generally a Jim Cuddy fan. But in recent albums, I am finding more often that Greg Keelor has created the unique melody and lyrics in his songs that I usually expect from Jim. If you have not heard the previous album, check out "bitter fruit", "andrea", "this road" and especially "rage". Overall, the CD is worth getting if you are a BR fan.

2 out of 5 stars Wish I just saw the show.......2002-12-17

Every time I see Blue Rodeo at the Commodore, I buy the latest CD. Loved their last show but boy was this album a dissappointment. I think all the die hard fans who wrote earlier reviews here just can't admit to themselves that their favourite band (mine too) came up lame this time. The idea was great. Add some horns and strings and try some kinky new arrangements. The problem is that whoever handled the recording for this album didn't know how to make the whole thing sound good. I really wanted to like this album but with every spin on the CD player, I could not get over how poorly recorded it was. Trying to ignore the poor sound, I was equally dissappointed by amateurish lyrics and melody. Even the so called big hit, Bulletproof, that sounded so good when I heard it live left me really wanting after hearing it on CD.
