CD Reviews

Birdmonster's Giant Leap Forward

James E. Tenuto | San Diego, CA United States | 08/05/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Indie rock's legendary, high-energy, live band has delivered an album that can only be described as a "giant leap forward." Birdmonster can still rock out ("The Iditarod" and "New Country"--with a hint of country twang in this cut,) but these guys are also great musicians, and the acoustic elements of this album allow those talents to shine through.

Peter Arcuni's voice is somehow richer, a bit Dylan-esque (sans mumbles), and his lyrics are engaging, interesting and beg comparison to early Jackson Browne songs. Drummer Zach Winter's manic live energy is both evident on some cuts and musically restrained on others.

And who doesn't love the banjo?

Fans of the band's live shows should be eager to see how the material plays and blends with the band's earlier efforts."
