Album Description Soul Asylum's ninth full-length album, is every bit as quirky and off-centered cut-to-the-bone rock as their hardcore fans have come to expect, an indication that the Minneapolis-bred band has lost none of its edge. And why should they? The new Soul Asylum songs--"Crazy Mixed Up World," "Standing Water," "Success Is Not So Sweet," "All Is Well," "Good For You," "Lately," "Oxygen," and the lead single "Stand Up And Be Strong"--capture the band at its best: swinging, soothing, and rocking. "I'm really proud of this record," said Dan Murphy. "It's a guitar record and it was really fun to record. It will always remind me of Karl when I listen to it. He was really sick, but still pulled through and finished it in Soul Asylum fashion." "It makes me think of Karl," agreed Dave Pirner. "It was long overdue to record exclusively in Minneapolis because we hadn't done so in 15 years and the natural surroundings of home was something we needed. We feel extra proud of it because we did it on our own." Similar CDs

CD ReviewsOn Cloud 9 Amanda Richards | Georgetown, Guyana | 07/15/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "After an extended absence, Soul Asylum is back to blow away the surface of the cloud in which they've been hiding, revealing that silver lining. Regrettably, bassist Karl Mueller makes his last ever appearance on this album, having passed on in June 2005. RIP Karl, and thanks for the memories. Two of their earlier songs are on my all-time favorite list - and of course you know that I'm talking about Runaway Train and Misery - and while there's no one song of that mega-hit caliber on this album, the sum of the parts makes for a great album nevertheless. The first single and lead off track "Stand Up and Be Strong" is only one of the instantly addictive tracks on the album, and after you listen to the rest of the album you'll agree that this is a strong comeback from this Minnesota alt-rock band. Listen for the opening bars of "Lately", the retro sound of "Crazy Mixed Up World", the choruses of "All is Well" and "Bus Named Desire", then tone it down with "Watcha Need", "Success is Not So Sweet" and "Good For You". If you still haven't had enough, try the eight minute long rock track "Slowly Rising", and keep an ear out for the hidden '70s style "protest" track. Regardless of the title, this album is worth its weight in gold, and then some. Rated 4.5 stars Amanda Richards, July 15, 2006 " Great return of Soul Asylum Pat Silva | Portugal | 07/12/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Finally a new CD!!! I think there are some pretty good songs in "The Silver Lining". I just love: All is Well; Bus Named Desire; Standing Water; Crazy Mixed Up World; Lately; Great Exagerator. The hiden song "Fearless Leader" is very good!" A fresh of air for 2006 Jeans Yoder | Yoder, KS | 07/16/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Rock in modern day really isn't anything new, it's more of the same loud rap/metal/dark sound it has always been in the last 10 years. While soul asylum was idle for 8 years, not much was expected of them when the Silver Lining came out. In fact, I'm sure this album won't sell very well amongst new fans.
Recorded in their hometown of Minneapolis and released after the death of bassist Karl Mueller, the band really attributes this album to him, but are very satisfied that it did get released. Dave's vocals are still spot on, and sound more refreshed than ever. The album is nothing like the twin tone or A&M days. Or for the fact that "Runaway Train" is almost 15 years old, the band has surely moved on from their notoriety. Somewhat more rockish, and less experimental than their last record Candy from a Stranger, Silver Lining keys up for some nice and rememorable tracks from a great band. All songs in general are easy to listen to, and you don't have to pain with any fillers as each are uniquely different. "Stand Up and Be Strong" and "Lately" are in the lines of a pop/alternative rock style. Each with a nice breath of fresh air. Each have a semi-fast tempo, but a very nice start to the album for each could be singles. "Crazy Mixed Up World" is a slower more chorus minded song. Bust still is decent enough. Somewhat more poppy than the other songs. "All is Well" is a great rock song, where "Bus Named Desire", and "Whatcha Need" are somewhat of a Matchbox 20 type sound. "Standing Water" has a relaxing aura to it, while "Success is Not So Sweet" and "The Great Exaggerator" are more great soul asylum ballads with traces from something on the lines of "We 3." NSS has more guitars, and SINSS is a slower ballad. "Oxygen" is a uniquely dark song and sounds nothing like any soul asylum in the past, however is one of my favorite songs on this album. It just shows how much the band has evolved into music writing ablilities. "Good For You" is a fast uptempo rocker in your face, with "Slowly Rising" shows up as crazy fast rocker with a hidden track of a story-telling epic to finish off the album. Don't expect anything like Grave Dancer's Union or Let Your Dim Light Shine, or even Candy from a Stranger on this ablum. Silver Lining is a completely different Soul Asylum, but they still remain to rock. If you are a fan of Dave's voice, then go ahead and get the album. If you only like the 80's stuff, or only like the 90's stuff, then this album may not appeal to you as it is in a new era of Soul Asylum. " |
