Ignore the critics!

Panned by media critics because, in their view, the lyrics are not politically correct.
Excellent songwriting and recording. My favorites are Psychoanalysts' Ball, Thank God For The Blues, A Few Bars Early, Double Agent, Up County Down, Duper's Delight, They Own The Media and Why Are You On Facebook? If you are a fan of Van's you will love it. Ignore the critics.

Great album

Great album. Better than his last album. Typical Van Morrison, some complaining, that's nothing new, the blues songs are the strongest parts of the whole album, and are very good. Very good musicians all around. Only wish it had autoripped like all his other albums have in the past. Highly recommended album. Over 2 hours of music. Can't wait for Volume 2.

Great for one's emotional, physical, and existential health.

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2021

Latest Record Project Vol. 1 is a superb album that is often danceable, satirical, and full of pointed perceptions. I've listened to it twice today, not only because Van cannot be beaten but because, as a totality, it is a tonic for today's prevailing political and behavioral circumstances. Van's vocals and sax solos are amazing. The band and backup singers are great, especially the organ, and the variety of styles and arrangements are compelling. Particular praise goes to "Where Have All The Rebels Gone," which rocks like crazy! Forget about all the media reviews that emphasize the old trope that Van is a curmudgeon. That does not matter. The truth is that this is a great album.

ALREADY BEING UNDERRATED

Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2021

Verified Purchase

The negative reactions of some reviewers reveal that we are indeed in the era of music being merely heard rather than actually listened to. There IS a difference! We're also in the age of demanding immediate gratification, which is about all that current "artists" aspire to providing. I admit that this album did not grab me entirely on first playing, but it's been my experience that music which is highly appealing on first spin usually has less to offer on subsequent plays. While this offering is not in the same league as "Astral Weeks," "Moondance," or "Too Long in Exile" (a generally overlooked masterwork), there is much on these two discs to enjoy and admire. Van the Man has earned the right to do whatever he feels like doing, and it's more rewarding to discover where he's at than demanding he remain wherever it is some fans feel he ought to be. Anyone truly familiar with him is aware that he detests crap, and is incapable of delivering it. He is an artist first, an entertainer second. If you can't find any value in his latest journey, your musical appreciation skills may not be as developed as you believe.

Top-notch voice, musicians

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

I got hooked on Van around 1990 and have seen him perform probably 150 times. The first track I heard from this was a YouTube of the title song, Latest Record Project. To put it mildly, I was underwhelmed. I've always loved it when Van goes into a repetition and it becomes like a mantra, but this seemed like parody. Flash ahead to buying the record and, as with other recent releases, it got better and better with each listen. The voice is in terrific shape for a 75-year-old, capable of barking or crooning or warbling at will. His saxophone playing remains as expressive as ever. He has surrounded himself with excellent musicians, like guitarist Dave Keary, and the songs run from ballads to blues to up-tempo pop-flavored.

Van has a long history of grievance songs. I've always loved that while the vast majority of his work is life-affirming and heartfelt, there's been a space carved out for darker themes. You can go back to A Town Called Paradise (1986) with the lyric "copycats ripped off my songs," or Drumshanbo Hustle from the 70s, where he sings about "puking up your guts when you read the standard contract you just signed." In one show I saw in Northern Ireland, he went into a rant between songs about someone who had cleaned out his bank account 40 years earlier. So this is nothing new. I've never tried to parse the lyrics too closely; Van is more of an impressionist than a photorealist. Listen repeatedly and I suspect you will get into this one.

If his livestream performance of several of these songs on May 8 is any indication, the new record will provide fodder for some extended live workouts of these numbers when show dates resume. I for one am looking forward to seeing Van the Man onstage again.

Nostalgic Sound For Themes of Today

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2021

Verified Purchase

Was always a mild admirer of VM and had a couple of his more popular releases. While those were fancy Warner Bros. recordings the production quality of this album surpass it. Van's voice is the same as when he did Moondance and the instrumentals all play familiar kind of like a Willy Nelson album. As for the lyrics which back in the 60's, 70's, and 80's would get applause in today's fully homogenized world apparently they are uniformly absent, so for that kudo's to VM for just carrying on the tradition that musicians and comedians once had before just recently. It's a great album you can put on and play in the background and it adds atmosphere much like a fireplace in a snowy December.

Ein Blues, R’n’B, Jazz und Soul Feuerwerk vom allerfeinsten

Reviewed in Germany on May 7, 2021

Van Morrison | Latest Record Project Vol. 1 (Deluxe) | 07.05.21 | Mit AutoRip

Van Morrison ist schon ein kleiner Revoluzer. Seit den 60ern singt er immer wieder über die „Haie“ der Musikindustrie. Im Jahr 1967 nahm der junge Van Morrison mal demonstrativ 31 Ein-Minuten-Songs auf, um seinen Plattenvertrag zu erfüllen. Bis 2005 klagte er immer wieder die Missstände in der Musikindustrie in seinen Liedern an. Nun wird auf dem neuen Album das Thema wieder aufgegriffen und ein Kreis schließt sich. Das Thema ist viel zu umfangreich und würden den Rahmen einer Rezi zu sehr sprengen. Nur soviel: Van Morrison ist eher jemand der ein Glas halb leer als halb voll sieht. Musiker, die in ihm ein Vorbild sahen wie Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seeger oder Elvis Costello bezichtigt er des Diebstahls seiner Melodien, statt sich geschmeichelt zu fühlen. Politik spielt bis letztes Jahr keine große Rolle bei Van Morrison. Der pandemiebedingte Lockdown veranlasste ich allerdings eine Reihe von Protestsongs aufzunehmen, die nicht frei von Kritik waren und rückten ihn als Corona-Leugner eher in ein negatives Licht. Der zweite Song WHERE HAVE ALL THE REBELS GONE? kann man durchaus so interpretieren, dass aus seiner Sicht außer ihm kein Rebell mehr übrig geblieben ist.

Blendet man all das aus und konzentriert sich größtenteils auf die Musik, dann erwartet den Hörer ein 28 Songs Feuerwerk in Form eines Doppel-Silberlings vom allerfeinsten. Bei der Masse an Songs auf jeden einzelnen einzugehen macht wenig Sinn. Die Lyrics sind zudem sehr speziell. Titel wie DOUBLE AGENT oder WHY ARE YOU ON FACEBOOK? zeugen einerseits von Paranoia und andererseits hinterfragen sie Social Media. Genie und Wahnsinn liegen bei Van Morrison oft nah beieinander. Auf seinem neusten Werk bekommen wir Van Morrisons Leidenschaft für Blues, R’n’B, Jazz und Soul. Passend hierzu der Song THANK GOD FOR THE BLUES.

Vergleichen könnte man das Album vielleicht mit Eric Clapton’s Crossroad Festival, nur nicht Live sondern im Studio und ohne die schönen und ausufernden Jams wobei es Jams auf dem Album gibt, nur halt deutlich kürzer. Orgel, Klavier, Saxophon, Mundharmonika und traumhafte Backing Vocals untermalen die Songs hervorragend. Mir gefällt es außerordentlich gut, dass ich gar nicht genug davon bekommen kann. Van Morrisons Fans und Freunde von Blues, R’n’B, Jazz und Soul bekommen hier das komplette Programm. Zwei Discs, die dermaßen Spaß machen sie anzuhören, dass die Zeit im Nu vergeht.

Es ist das mittlerweile 42. Album des 75-jährigen Nordiren, der in seiner Laufbahn so um die 90 Mi. Tonträger verkauft hat. Es gibt Außergewöhnliche Alben wie das letzte 2019 erschienene THREE CHORDS AND THE TRUTH. Aber auch genug weniger gute Alben. Diese hier gehört aber zweifellos in die oberen Kategorien. Wo genau, wird wie immer jeder Hörer für sich selbst herausfinden. Meinerseits bekommt „Van the Man“, der 2015 von der Queen zum Ritter geschlagen wurde und seitdem den Titel „Sir“ tragen darf, fünf starke Sterne. Ich freue mich auf Vol. II. Wann der zweite Teil erscheinen soll, konnte ich allerdings nirgends recherchieren. Da Van Morrison die pandemiebedingte Zeit für intensives Songwriting genutzt hat, dürfte die Veröffentlichung hoffentlich nicht nochmal zwei Jahre dauern. Wir werden es sehen.

LATEST RECORD PROJECT gibt es auch in einer 3-LP Variante im Triple Gatefold Cover. Die 2CD-Variante gibt es in zwei Ausführungen: einmal im DIgipack und einmal im „Casebound Book“ mit 16 Seiten (Hardcover).

Anche stamattina, as usual, sono stato dal solito vecchio panettiere e gli ho chiesto: “Il pane è sempre quello, non è cambiato, vero?”
“No, assolutamente, è sempre quello!” mi ha risposto. A fianco del pane c’era il nuovo Van the Man, ed anche per questo ho chiesto se fosse sempre lo stesso. Alla sua conferma, assieme al pane, ho comprato anche Latest Record Project volume 1.

L’ho preso in edizione deluxe, perché in formato libro, con hard cover.
Si fa sfogliare e guardare con piacere, anche se la grafica non mi ha particolarmente entusiasmato.
All’interno, tutti i testi e tutti i musicisti presenti, canzone per canzone.

Van è un pozzo senza fondo, un fiume in piena! Dategli poi una pandemia ed ecco che da buon panettiere ti sforna 28 pezzi, tutti suoi (a parte un paio a due mani con Don Black, e la classica It Hurts Me Too, rivisitata con parole nuove).

Dal primo ascolto questo nuovo doppio mostra grande eterogeneità, groove, e unità d’intenti.
Non ci sono canzoni che spicchino particolarmente, delle vere e proprie vette, ma neppure una sola capitata lì per caso, giusto per far numero. Tutto risulta estremamente equilibrato, sia nella composizione sia negli arrangiamenti.
Anche il cantato l’ho preferito, rispetto ad altri suoi recenti, perché lascia spazio alla splendida voce, evitando quelle ‘abbaiate’ dalle quali ogni tanto si fa accompagnare.
Blues & soul (Thank God for the Blues spiega di suo..) sono i binari su cui si muove (e si muove molto bene) questo album.
I testi non hanno particolare profondità, non è Dylan, insomma, e puntano più sul suono (dal mio punto di vista) che sul raccontare.
Molto apprezzata, comunque, la quasi parodia testuale di Where Have All The Flowers Gone? che qui diventa Where Have All The Rebels Gone? …hiding behind computer screens.

Dal punto di vista audio, sempre tenendo conto che il cd è un supporto digitale, l’album si fa ascoltare con piacere, per il buon equilibrio nel mixaggio ed una masterizzazione curata.

Oggi dalle mie parti è una bella giornata, il sole è alto e caldo, e così, tornato a casa col pane e con Van, ho messo il primo nel cestino ed il secondo nel lettore. Ho alzato il volume e ho riempito il restante della mattinata con questo sound avvolgente e continuo.
Latest Record Project crea una grande atmosfera.
Thank Van for the Blues.

Solita solfa, condita da liriche di chi ha fatto tre volte terza media! E ancora non ha capito...

Reviewed in Italy on May 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

Van Morrison ha smesso di essere ascoltabile circa nel 1974, ha scritto qua e là dei bei pezzi soul, folk ed errebì e qualche disco l'ha effettivamente azzeccato (tipo "Into the Music" o "Hymns to the Silence"...), pur senza aggiungere nulla di nuovo. Ce l'ha fatto a fette con la religione per 50 anni e ora, che forse ha finito le madonne, se la prende con i cattivoni del governo che gli fanno mettere la mascherina, come uno scolaretto capriccioso! Quindi, se i testi sono stupidi e contagiosi, la musica è la solita mosciagna che ci propina da troppo tempo... In più sono ben 28 canzoni (!!!!) e due ore del vostro tempo (E' solo il volume 1, aaaarrrrggghhhh!). Mi sento di consigliarvi, poiché è primavera e il Covid pare si stia attenuando, di uscire a divertirvi e lasciare il Van a rosicà... PS: Un plauso particolare al grafico! Dopo 15 minuti di un corso di grafica c'è gente che farebbe di sicuro di meglio!

Van keeps regurgitating the same old stuff!

Reviewed in Canada on May 26, 2021

Nothing new or very interesting on Van's new "Proiject:"! He keeps mining the tired old blues and pop tunes that gained him an audience in the 70's. "Astral Weeks", "Moondance", "Veedon Fleece", "Wavelength" were all masterpieces of great lyricism and music. Van excels with introspective lyrical songs but falls very flat with his recycling of blues and jazzy tunes. His last 8 albums have been "run of the mill". Come on Van, dig deeper! Stop pumping out the same old stuff!.

...aber für mich persönlich musikalisch mit das schlechteste Album seit langem. Besitze alle!! Alben von dir und hoffe immer wieder auf unvergessliche wie " Into the music, Inarticulate..., A Sense of wonder, No Guru..., Too long in
exile, Poetic Champions...und Hymns to the Silence". Ok, jeder versucht sich musikalisch weiterzuentwickeln oder
andere Wege einzuschlagen. Das Album kommt zwar in mein Regal, aber aufgelegt werden nur noch deine Alben
bis Ende der 90er und natürlich THEM. Schade.
