Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

On their ninth CD, the Brian Jonestown Massacre does what they're best at. That is, they conjure up visions of Beggars Banquet-era Rolling Stones and other artists from the swinging '60s. Emphasizing acoustic slide guitars, harmonica, handclaps, and tambourine, Anton Newcombe sings passionately in Jaggeresque style. While decidedly retro, the band is always entertaining as they evoke their musical heroes. On the song "Mansion in the Sky" Newcombe recalls the mood of early Dylan with evocative results. Folksy, bluesy, and particularly understated, this disc contains only six songs and leaves you hungry for more. With Miranda Lee Richards's haunting vocal on "Reign On" and an eerie update of Charles Manson's composition "Arkansas," Brian Jonestown Massacre turns six into nine one more time. It's brief, but bright, and their most satisfying work to date. --Mitch Myers --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars you just crave for some more, February 6, 2006

Named after a classic Bob Dylan album, this EP is one the finest recording the Jonestown ever did. Only 6 songs that clocks-in less than half an hour. When the disc is over, you just crave for some more. Recorded by any means, with almost no drums or bass, The BJM welcomes here Miranda Lee Richards and her beautiful and eerie voice. Hard to find but definitely worth the looking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arkensa yeah, June 2, 2006

John Face "music" (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bringing It All Back Home Again (Audio CD)

This is a brilliant record. The music floats between quiet and beautiful tracks like 'reign on'... then on to the fun, hellraising blasphemy of the 'godspell according to Newcombe'. the last track, 'arkensa revisited', is as crazily cool as it is dangerous. Note the charles manson reference.
"Goin' back to Arkensa, gonna kill my ma and pa...gonna kill my ma and dad cause they made my life so sad."

5.0 out of 5 stars One for the trail Two for the saloon & Three for the gallows, June 21, 1999

Ain't nothing better than this album in a dusty pick-up driving through an old mining town. This time, they take it all the way back---to birth of the Western underground---to the outlaws and the prospectors.
