Lance

Such (namely a lance) I want to break at this point time for this disc. The response to this page's quite divided. Votes 2-5 star. On Amazon there also is a second entry for this CD, but there there two reviews of each 5 Stars. And one of the reviewers rightly writes, this disc would be quite different from the previous ones. Perhaps herein is the crux of the matter to see, namely with regard to expectations and their compliance or disappointment ... In the meantime, since the release of Deja Voodoo two years .. and passed two more studio releases mule. And just this year, the band around Warren Haynes with Mighty High has a time once again demonstrated: that you can not blame her, stylistically to tread water. Where this year's trip to the dub / reggae realm splits the fan base even more clearly than this album here 2 years ago. What is also clear, because one can not be regarded as Mighty High organic development of the style, but almost as a break in style - almost a slap in the face for the expectations of the audience. I would say that one can think not not be blamed, not to be open, as far as my listening habits, I hear jazz, rock, blues, rap, alternative, classical, actually querbeet everything, but I have claims in mind that music artists within their Genres work original and possibly combine style elements from different genres to a new. So I would be theoretically a predestined handset for the 2007 disc. But I can no longer follow this style mix, I find failed. That the span of the votes on this new album (2007, Mighty High) at Amazon even wider and the echo still forked fails as this here, then wonder no longer too much ..

But at this point should not do so go to Mighty High, but Deja Voodoo. When I at Mighty High me rather those connect that remain a bit perplexed, I am with Deja Voodoo take the contrary view that the so far most mature album they succeeded here. Free flowing the songs beads together. Are always carried by a bluesy, earthy feeling, yet more complex and varied than earlier studio productions. The experience of the great Deep End and especially Deepest End Live productions acts still to sustainably. And not least because of the addition of a keyboardist, the music more than ever similarities with the prog rock of the 70's on. In particular, my favorite after the first three times to hear - the 11-minute piece Silent Scream - sounds like a Genesis tribute at its best. And most of all, even after the 4-man Genesis with which they recorded occupation of 1976 (after the departure of Peter Gabriel, but still with Steve Hackett), the two albums A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering. It would prove to be the swan song of the greatest rock bands of all time, an intermediate phase between the increasing (Stage unfit gwordenen) mentalisation and dramatization with Peter Gabriel (but with The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is an absolute icon of music history spawned) and the descent to the mass appeal pop rock in the 80s. The spirit of this music breathes the Deja Voodoo album by Gov't Mule (lo and behold, with the exact same random Instrumentation: guitar, bass, keyboards, drums), and although only three times I've heard the Mule-disc now, I'm sure it will take a similar cult status for all time as the two 76er Genesis albums. Your so far most mature studio production, and not reached by the two subsequent albums High & Mighty High and Mighty (the latter is light years away from ...). A 1-A supplementation to more Jam and sometimes even jazz (see SCO Mule) oriented live spectacles of outstanding Deep / Deepest End Phase. So to speak (if one looks at the development since then) an absolutely worthy Studio conclusion of this phase that will go down in music history with security ...
