Synopsis

Amazon.com

In Pieces finds Garth at the height of his popularity--the album scored 5 hit singles--but in the basement of his admittedly considerable talent. This rise and fall coincided with Brooks's boldest movement yet away from traditional country. "Standing Outside the Fire," another Garth anthem to emotional risk, ends with bongo and rock guitar while "Ain't Going Down till the Sun Comes Up" is rock down to its "Subterranean Homesick Blues" melody. All of which would be fine if the songs were catchier, or if the lyrics--one song disses welfare recipients, another valorizes a father who beats up his boys--weren't such an annoying muddle. --David Cantwell

CD Reviews

Garth is the Real Deal

Alejandra Vernon | Long Beach, California | 11/23/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Garth Brooks was quoted at the time this CD was released as saying that this was "the most live album that we've cut", and it has a very basic up-close and personal feel to it; perhaps why I like much of country music is its lack of artificiality, and the making of great music without gimmicks and engineered manipulations (I'm obviously not counting cross-over "pop" country in that category). Here we have Garth's vocal mastery, with some virtuoso musicians backing him, giving us the real deal.Garth co-wrote 5 of the 11 tracks, and the two songs that some find controvesial are my favorites: "The Night I Called the Old Man Out", about a rebellious son whoose father teaches him some old fashioned discipline, with a fist fight. "The blood came from my mouth and nose / But the tears came from his eyes". It has a fabulous rhythm and melody, as does "The Night Will Only Know", about an adulterous couple who are compromised to keep a dreadful secret. "But they would pay for their deceiving / For a deadly web was weaving / Why they picked that spot that evening / Lord, the night will only know".It has a blend of slow and lovely ballads (Garth's sweet singing and the smooth, mellow saxophone on "One Night a Day" make it a winner, and "Annonymous" is truly romantic and beautiful) and rousing dance tunes like "American Honkey-Tonk Bar Association", and on all the numbers the musicianship is thoroughly brilliant, with each instrument given its time to shine.
This is some of the finest country music you can get; a combination of superb artistry and skill, and good for years of listening pleasure.
The sound is terrific, and total time is 40:42."

"I am a huge garth Fan, I have all the albums and six of his live concerts. I like In Pieces because of the song "The Red Strokes" I don't really like the music video for it because I think that Garth could have done better on what to use in the video instead of just red paint and a white room,because just thoes two things are just scary when put together. But, I like the song because it talks about mainly love and what color the heart is, and he potrays it with alot about two people painting a picture of a heart and the color they use is alot of red. He even talks about how when your blue, the color of your heart is blue and when your jeleous your heart is green. But when you love, your heart is really red. In general, In Pieces is one of garths better albums.
