5.0 out of 5 stars A classic!, April 22, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Cut (Audio CD)

This album contains the LONG kick ass version of Twilight Zone (When The Bullet Hits The Bone), which is, in my opinion, the greatest rock song of all time. While this album is short, this song MAKES the album. The Devil Made Me Do It, which is one of their most well-known songs, is silly, but enjoyable. Baby Dynamite is enjoyable, but very slow and not what one would call a rock song. The same with Future. Last Of The Mohicans is a catchy lightweight rocker. Lost And Found and Chargin' Up My Batteries are both great songs. Secrets is a slow, bluesy song. While the album could be longer, and there ARE better GE albums out there (Bloody Buccaneers!!), this is a classic and a good place to start with this band that's been around for 43 years and still kickin'.

4.0 out of 5 stars In Which Golden Earring Meets MTV, October 27, 2005

Golden Earring, the talented Dutch foursome of long duration (they've basically had the same configuration for 40 years now, since 1965) has an amazing body of work. Many of their finest moments occurred throughout the 70s and 80s, and this period culminated with 1982's "Cut."

This well-written, well-played, accessible album made the Earring MTV favorites with the taut video for "Twilight Zone," whose film noirish atmosphere provided an effective context for the driving rhythms and urgent vocals of "Zone."

Hopefully this album will inspire new fans to explore the deep and pleasurable Earring catalog, perhaps starting with 1973's "Moontan" and its smash radio hit "Radar Love," and hopefully continuing into such landmark albums as "Switch" (1974), "To The Hilt" (1975) and "Grab It For A Second" (1978).

"Cut" will certainly remind longtime listeners why they took a shine to the Earring in the first place.

Happy listening!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bullet Really Hit the Bone, March 8, 2010

I've been a casual fan of Golden Earring since "Radar Love" was a hit, but lately I've been re-discovering them. Every song on "Cut" is a real gem. "Twilight Zone" is a great rocker, but as good as it is, it isn't the best track. My personal favorite is "Last of the Mohicans" (Dick, it's gotta good beat and ya can dance to it I give it a 95). I really had no idea these guys were as talented as they show on every album they've ever recorded. as far as I'm concerned these amazing musicians were to the Netherlands and Europe what the Beatles were to Britain. You can't go wrong purchasing this (or any other) album by Golden Earring.
