5.0 out of 5 stars
Rumi with a Fender., December 11, 2003
This review is from: Bell (Audio CD)
Listen to Stuart's last five studio albums in succession (Kid Mystic, Bright Apocalypse, Stuart Davis, The Late Stuart Davis, and Bell) and try to tell me that Stuart is not one of the great mystical poets as well as a major pop music talent. In these 60 or so songs, he confronts redemption, inwardness, sin, birth, death, immanence, transcendence, and emptiness with intelligence, biting wit, and penetrating guitar riffs. Stuart improves with every album, and Bell is no exception. For a truly mind-changing experience, see Stu in concert.

5.0 out of 5 stars
10 stars easily. One of the best pop albums this year, November 25, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Bell (Audio CD)
I have all of Stuart Davis's previous releases and love them all, but this new release Bell goes beyond what he has done before. Working with Alex Gibson and Tripp Lanier,(Hank Madison) the production matches the sensibility of the songs right on. From the trance like Bell to the simple yet lovely Ara Belle. Bell is a brilliant album. Sexy Messiah is a punchy pop number about the second coming of Christ as a teenage Buddhist girl and is very infectious. Human Girl, Flower of a Zero, Wizard, and Ara Belle are the other gems on this album. This is one the finest pop albums this year that has blazin combination of intellect, humor, and dakini power.
