If the White Stripes paved the runway for the take-off of the garage-rock revival, the Black Lips are the face-plant on the tarmac. For this live album, which the band promises is "going to be the best live record of all time," the Atlanta foursome mostly cull songs from both 2004's We Did Not Know the Forest Spirit Made the Flowers Grow and 2005's Let It Bloom. Despite its best efforts, though, the Lips' secret fifth member here is the highly audible crowd that assembled in Tijuana, Mexico, for the show and recording, augmenting the band's lo-fi, up-tempo blues with smashing bottles and waves of enthusiastic heckling. Musically, the standout track is "Buried Alive," the Eastern scale of its main riff giving way to a sing-along chorus with gusto to spare and no need for such technical nuisances as tuning. In fact, it takes an unbending confidence not to worry about being buried beneath a crowd that's much a part of its recording. But the Black Lips are nothing if not fearless, having weathered the early death of guitarist Ben Eberbaugh, three record labels (so far), and more punishing live sets than any but the most brave could endure. Brave new world, indeed. --Jason Kirk

Product Description

Vinyl LP pressing of the Garage rockers' live album recorded in Tijuana, Mexico. Los Valientes Del Mundo Nuevo finds Black Lips running through shambolic, high-energy versions of their back catalog to a room full of noisy, inebriated fans. 12 powerhouse tracks of Blues-infused Garage Rock action. --This text refers to the Vinyl edition.

Who would have ever thought that a band would make a live record in Mexico that would sound cleaner & slicker than any of their studio albums? If you are even a casual fan of Black Lips, owning this record is a must. To a new listener, I think that this would be a good place to start that won't scare you off. These guys are good - REAL GOOD.

Amazing energy. Everything else has been said...this album sounds better than all of their studio records and I'm not sure if that adds or takes away from it. Buried Alive is amazing. Wish it was longer.
