Brilliant - A true heir to Lou Reed and Neil Young,
By Keef (Gaffney, SC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heat (Audio CD)
Jesse Malin once led an incendiary band called D Generation - a loud, obnoxious cross between the Ramones and the NY Dolls that burned out before they could fade away. Believe it or not, this is better.Jesse has always written sharp tales of the city. Tales that are grittier than those of Bruce or Neil, and more poignant than Lou's. "The Heat" is filled with more of those songs, yet comes off as a superior follow-up to "The Fine Art of Self Destruction." Perhaps this is because Jesse relies more on his abundant talent and rides less on the coattails of Ryan Adams. Having Mr. Adams produce and play guitar on your album is a wonderful thing, but the further Jesse moves from the dead-end of Americana, the better off he'll be. "The Heat" moves him to a unique point between Dolls/Reed/Ramones New York punk and the sincere-but-too-subdued territory of "Fine Art..." Every song is a rough diamond that unwinds like a finely detailed short story. This is indeed fine art, and the best new music I've heard this year.

This review is from: Heat (Audio CD)
I love this album and I'm not sure how best to communicate my feelings about it. When I listen, now, I get that rare feeling when I'm listening to a truly amazing album: lots of very strong songs one after another. Jesse Malin has a very unique voice, and is one of those few artists who I can wholeheartedly recommend. If you haven't heard him before, his style might be reminiscent of Ryan Adams, with perhaps more consistent songwriting. If you've heard his first album, I liked it but I like this even better!
Great music for sitting in a diner with a cup of coffee and contemplating an imminent fork in the road.

a shocker,
By A Customer
This review is from: Heat (Audio CD)
i listen to tons of music and this is the best record i've heard this year. fantastic stuff that is LIGHT YEARS away from what jesse malin was doing in his former life as lead singer of way overhyped NYC glam band, D Generation. put this cd in, go to any track, and you will not be disappointed. really. all 14 songs hold up and that is astounding in today's day and age of records that are too long and mostly filler. jesse's voice and the instrumentation on this record pull at your heart - even his lyrics often strike a poignant chord. i can't recommend this record highly enough (and i've never been a fan of this guy).
