Jim Alfredson Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 I can see where this is heading... Quote
JSngry Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 The most amazing thing on there is a review by "Charles Davis from New York, NY". Charles Davis? Quote
ghost of miles Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 The best record since Steely Dan's 'Aja'. Reviewer: Musicboy from Boston I've not felt this much anticipation for a follow up recording since hearing Steely Dan's Aja in 1978, as a ten year old budding musician! Rarely do you find the kind of creative honesty & musicality these days, that Norah & band has put into this her second full length recording. Much like her Debut "Come away with Me", this album thankfully lacks the slick production, pitch correction, & life draining overdubbing that has made so many post millenial recordings sound terribly anemic. This is a must have for anyone looking for a timeless addition to their CD collection.. ~MB Could it be... our Musicboy? B) Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 What, no mention of the Christian overtones prevalent in the new release?! I mean, look at the song titles: 1 Sunrise (sun = christ) 2 What Am I to You? (, Jesus?) 3 Those Sweet Words (of the Bible) 4 Carnival Town (You're all going to hell.) 5 In the Morning (I kneel down and pray.) 6 Be Here to Love Me (Oh Lord) 7 Creepin’ In (My Heart, Oh Lord) 8 Toes (I can even feel you in my...) 9 Humble Me (with your righteousness) 10 Above Ground (Lazarus) 11 The Long Way Home (to Jerusalem) 12 The Prettiest Thing (is baby Jesus' tears) 13 Don’t Miss You At All (Satan!) I'm telling you, it's a modern Christian country record in disguise!!! I'm going to hell.... :rsmile: Quote
RDK Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 So which of the "not yet on SACD" rants do you think is from Greg? Seriously, though, reading the reviews there is really disappointing to me - not because of the quality of the legit reviews but because so many people are blatantly using it as a forum to push their SACD or anti-copyguard agendas. It's not that i disagree with those agendas, either, but that the process undermines one of the true joys of the internet: the ability for anyone to post their opinions on a site like this or over at BN. But the benefit of such a free exchange of opinion is lost when it's essentially "spammed" in such a way. Quote
catesta Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 I didn't read all of the reviews. Did anyone mention a connection between Ravi Shankar and Norah Jones? Quote

bertrand Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 I'm amazed at how many people find the copy-controlled CD defective. How can Blue Note not be rushing to do damage control as we speak? This is intended to be their biggest seller of the year, but so far it looks like they're getting a lot of returns. Someone from BN should be monitoring that little discussion. Bertrand. Quote
Out2Lunch Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 Lots of bad press! To add to it, Ravi Shankar just announced that he's never even heard of Norah Jones! Quote
JSngry Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 In a few years, Paul Simon will dump Edie Brickell for Norah. Edie will move back to Texas and form a country-jazz combo, which will then be signed by Blue Note. Simon, wondering just what it is about those crazy Texas chicks, sends Art Garfunkel after Brickell, Edie refuses, but gets Art hooked on Bob Wills, and her skinny but sexy ass. Norah, feeling that her territory has been usurped, dumps Simon and take a gig with Asleep at the Wheel. Norah & Edie cross paths at Kerrville, a cat fight ensues which is caught on videotape and shown to Vince McMahon, who signs the two to WWE contracts. Simon, looking for a label responsive to his jazzy pop stylings, signs w/Blue Note. Garfunkel stays in Texas and writes poetry, which is set to music by Norah and released by Blue Note after she leaves the WWE when Edie is caught shoplifting Simon's CD from a Wal-Mart in Uniontown, Pa. Eventually everybody dies and nobody cares. Isn't that how it always goes? Quote
ghost of miles Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 Lots of bad press! To add to it, Ravi Shankar just announced that he's never even heard of Norah Jones! ...and that he also wishes Blue Note would get off their cans and RVG The Gigolo! Quote

JSngry Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 Yeah, baby, I've been smokin' what Art's been smokin'. It's called Life, and I take it unfiltered. Quote

Uncle Skid Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 What, no mention of the Christian overtones prevalent in the new release?! I'm still waiting for Norah's cover of the Eric Cartman classic "I'm Going to Get Down on My Knees (and Start Pleasin' Jesus)"!! I bet that one will be GREAT!! (see ya in hell, jim... ) Quote
