Hear Ye: 1-16-13

1. Close Chorus – A Sunny Day In Glasgow – The revolving harmonies on the top of this songs are so lovely, the melody starts large and keeps growing till the song is getting engulfed and the two voices go into counterpoint, as they sing solo then join together there is a disquiet very feminine sense of anthem – Grade: A-

2. Little Wonder – David Bowie – Masterful Bowie in a voice we haven't heard since "Scary Monsters" – Grade: A-

3. Medulla Oblangata – Buke And Gase – Noisy People Get Ready labelmates thump down hard on a 2010 song -look mah no loops – Grade: B-

4. Unwashed And Slightly Dazed – David Bowie – Takes a little while to get going but by the chorus it is pretty great and once the harp comes in half way through, it is his first great song – Grade: A-

5. London, Bye, Ta-Ta – David Bowie – It is swinging… – Grade: B

6. Judge Jury And Executioner – A slappy drum rhythm hooks all the way through and the haunted chorale calls you in , but Thom still sounds very Thom-y – Grade: A-

7. Jimmy Cale's Wake – Dropkick Murphys – They do a lot of drinking – Grade: A-

8. Make Room – My Chemical Romance – It seems a little pointless to keep on complaining that it isn't The Black Parade -but it isn't the Black Parade – Grade: B-

9. The Dead – My Chemical Romance – This is pretty straightforward but they haven't written a rousing chorus like this in years and years and frankly I'm sick of waiting – Grade: A-

10. The Black Parade – My Chemical Romance – A huge song, bands should cover it all the time – Grade: A+
