3.0 out of 5 stars Pernice unplugged - strange album, only for fans, September 26, 2005

This review is from: Australia Tour EP 2002 (Audio CD)

From the uninspired CD name, to having tracks 2 and 3 switched, to having the final track spelled differently than the original, to being a live CD without an audience, this is one oddball CD. The Pernice Bros were already unplugged enough, their sound did not need further mellowing. Even soft instruments like pianos and strings are ditched in favor of acoustic guitars, and the music suffers as a result. Get their excellent World Won't End and Yours... CD's instead.

This review is from: Australia Tour EP 2002 (Audio CD)

This EP includes songs from the Pernice Brothers' Overcome By Happiness and The World Won't End CDs. For the most part these songs are similar to the original recordings except with less instrumentation. "All I Know" is sans piano and adds acoustic guitars which give it a more cheerful (or slightly less depressing at least) sound. A sort of bar room sing/mope along version.. I would buy it for that track only, plus "Dimmest Star" has some great electric guitar which stands out more on this version than on the original. This CD is a good introduction to the Pernice Brothers music if you are hesitant on buying their full length CDs or are unsure which to start with.

This review is from: Australia Tour EP 2002 (Audio CD)

Joe Pernice writes some of the most gorgeous pop melodies of all time and his band continues to provide great support. This EP, featuring new recordings of songs from the first two Pernice Brothers albums ("Dimmest Star" and "All I Know" from 'Overcome by Happiness' and "Flaming Wreck", "Cronulla Breakdown", and "Bright Side" from 'The World Won't End') continues true to form. These songs were recorded in January of 2002 (in Brooklyn, NY) to celebrate/promote the Australia Tour of 2002 in support of the terrific 'World Won't End' cd. They're fairly stripped down, subdued versions performed by Joe with Thom Monahan, Peyton Pinkerton, and Ben Wheelock. Those familiar with the songs already will enjoy the presentation of the songs provided on this EP--particularly the version of "Flaming Wreck" and "Bright Side" which are, IMO, superior to the originals. A must purchase for Pernice Brothers' fans and a worthy purchase for any wise soul looking for great pop music. Nobody does it better in the 21st century. Highly Recommended.
