Album Description

Adrian Belew is a guitar virtuoso who became one of the prestigious members of King Crimson in the early 1980's. He remains a member of that group to this day. Over the years he has issued numerous solo albums. Inner Revolution was originally issued in 1992, but has been out of print for years. We happily make this excellent album available on CD once again. Wounded Bird. 2004.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars One of Belew's best albums.......2006-07-24

First off, don't buy this album if you're hoping to hear King Crimson. You won't. This is basically a pop album that's very Beatle-esque (on one of the songs Adrian imitates John Lennon's vocal intonations almost perfectly) and has some of the best work Belew has layed his name to. Buy it if you want good Beatle-esque pop, but you are warned if you are expecting King Crimson.

2 out of 5 stars Beatlesque pop........2005-07-13

When you ask many Adrian Belew fans what their favorite album by him is, quite a few of them will answer "Inner Revolution".

I have to confess, I'm hard pressed to understand why. The album is full of catchy pop songs, but they're all largely similar, and its this similarity that I find largely unrewarding on the album. Admittedly, there's at least two classics in goofy "Big Blue Sun" and the Beatlesque "Everything", but with so many songs covering no different ground ("Inner Revolution", "The War in the Gulf Between Us"), I can't bring myself to listen to this one much.

On the other hand, it is in print, which is more than can be said for most of Belew's catalog, but I'd recommend "Young Lions" or "Here" before this one.

5 out of 5 stars "All the world's a cannibal even time itself will eat us all.......2004-02-03

The reference to The Beatles' Revolver is no accident. Inner Revolution, like Revolver, stands as Belew's most consistent, mature and powerful musical statement as a solo artist. Given Belew's work with King Crimson, The Bears and his own solo work, that's quite an achievement. Belew's songs focus on the tragic consequences of his divorce (The War in The Gulf Between Us), personal philosphy of life (Inner Revolution)and occasionally takes a detour into the lilting melodic avenue Lennon and McCartney traveled on (Everything).

There's not one song that isn't a gem. The mastering on the original CD was so-so; many of the songs sounded compressed and one-dimensional so it's nice to have another opportunity to visit with this classic album with improved sound. Although it didn't sell as well as Mr. Music Head or capture the imagination the way his work did with King Crimson during the early 80's, Inner Revolution still stands out like a brilliant gem in a discography filled with treasure.
