CD ReviewsLIVE just keeps getting better.... Kevin D A Major | 06/15/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Only a Top 30 album? Pleeeease!! Live's sixth release, Birds of Pray, just goes to show that it's possible to get better with age (unlike bands scraping around for moula to pay for early retirement). All tracks on this CD are how I prefer my steak- well done. If you're a new fan to LIVE, or a fan that just hasn't listened to new LIVE in quite some time, listen to "Heaven", "Sanctity of Dreams", "Sweet Release", "River Town", and "What Are We Fighting For?" as a preview before you purchase. You will not be disappointed. Speaking of the 13th track on BoP, this marks the 2nd CD in a row that lyrics to a song actually preview future world events. On "V", we had the song "Overcome" (written for "Distance To Here", but never made it on the CD) to dedicate to victims of Sept 11. Hopefully with time, we will find the WMD's in Iraq and be able to answer that question in the past tense (What Were We Fighting For?). The lyrics to the 13th track are amazing... From "Oil and blood on the bayonet"...to..."The world got smaller but the bombs got bigger"...and..."The crucifix ain't no baseball bat, tell me what kind of God is that?"It's unfortunate that this CD will not receive enough recognition from a group that pours its heart and soul into providing us with the better side of music, forgotten in today's POP-friendly music market. This CD is worth the price, especially since it includes a bonus DVD mini-concert of classic LIVE material!!!!" Their Second-Best Effort Geezer | Gold Coast, Australia | 06/09/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "I must say I was a little skeptical at first upon hearing Live had released a new album. V was, in my opinion, not only their worst album, but not a very good album by any standards. However, having bought Birds of Pray I can safely say that my confidence has been fully restored. Simply, I think this is their best effort since Throwing Copper, and that's saying something seeing I loved Secret Samadhi. The album is MUCH more guitar-based than the lame ambience they tried on V and to a lesser extent on Distance, and this is really where Live excel. The songs Like I Do (track 6) and Lighthouse (track 9) are two of my favourite Live songs ever. Enough said. Admittedly there are a couple of songs on the album that show a lot of the "Distance" motif in them and are a little weak and lame (Run Away comes to mind) but all in all it is very, very good and a must for Live fans.Forget about your skepticism, this is their second best album (and Throwing Copper is THE best album in musical history so that is definately not a slight on Birds of Pray)." Sweet release indeed! Michael Vogel | Florida, United States | 09/06/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "For me, Live have scored their Hat Trick with Birds of Pray. I would officially give this CD A 6-star rating, if I could.After Mental Jewelry and Throwing Copper, Live's next 3 releases (Secret Samadhi, The Distance To Here and V) had offered shining moments of what originally got me hooked on their music. The albums, over all though, did not have the "staying power" of MJ and TC - both of which literally spent a number of months straight in my player. V, in particular, didn't grab me much at all - a sentiment many others in these reviews seem to share to one degree or another.Now, I'm ecstatic to report that "Birds of Pray" will likely sit aside MJ and TC as a CD that will spend the coming weeks in my CD player. I am hooked. This release is, put simply, amazing. Live have recaptured - or at least returned to the energy and, dare I say, passion they conveyed on their first two releases. I'd say this one even leans a bit closer to Mental Jewelry than Throwing Copper - (a Very Good Thing in my opinion, as MJ remains my all-time favorite from Live).Few male rock singers I've heard can deliver lyrics with such emotion as convincingly and potently as Ed Kowalcyk does. And, to me, this is his strongest and most consistent vocal performance since MJ and TC.But don't let the praise end with him... The entire band delivers a solid, moving and overall stellar performance on Birds of Pray.All in all, Birds of Pray is a fantastic release from a truly gifted band who has returned to their "sonic roots" and still clearly find those shoes quite comfortable. Bravo.I highly recommend this CD."
