5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece and a brilliant debut., August 5, 2004

This review is from: Yer Album (Audio CD)

I truly think that this is one of the best albums out there. It has that same feeling as Dark Side of the Moon, Electric Ladyland, and Who's Next have... there is just so much going on and it never stops. This album is just crammed with great music. It has some truly rocking pieces that portray future Walsh stuff to come (Funk 48, Bluebird, I Don't Have the Time), some great use of the organ (Take a Look Around, Fred), some orchestration (Wrapcity in English), acoustic (Collage), and some just plain messing around (Intro, Stone Rap). Then, to top it all off, there are 2 fantastic blues jams, Lost Woman and Stop. That's every song on this album, each one worth listening to either for pleasure or just plain laughs.

Every song is well-produced and great sounding, well-written, and well-arranged within the album. There is not a flaw here. This is Rides Again and then some, this is my album, make it Yer' album too. (huh huh sorry had to do something stupid like that).

5.0 out of 5 stars A great debut from a great band, October 25, 2004

This is a fun album to listen to and it sounds as though it was fun for the James Gang to make as well. Because they were having fun with it, Yer Album has a spirited, stoned-out, care free and sometimes dis-jointed feel to it. Yer Album seems spontaneous with a garage band quality. Yet the James Gang are far more talented and polished than any garage band and it shows in their music. There is no doubt that this CD rocks and is made to be played loud. Enjoy!

This may be the one James Gang album to benefit greatly from remastering. The most sonically dense of the three Joe Walsh studio albums, I found more clarity in the guitars than I have ever heard before, especially on Bluebird. Rides Again and Thirds are also worth the investment, but this album remains my favorite, and radio hasn't played it to death.
