April Uprising (Audio CD)

Customer Review

After more commercial Grand National, but that does not thereby worse than other discs of the band but simply looked just different and breitfächiger, I was now wondering what the John Butler Trio now after 3 years of past time and new co-musicians at a new Output produces ...
First critics feared by the single "One Way Road" already completely come a change in style of the band in the commercial, off the earthy roots blues-rock mix of probably a few tried and true fans that have been "Sunrise over Sea" accompany the band to the head would ...
But these doubts can be cast safely across the ocean, if you "April Uprising" puts in his players and is dedicated to the songs ...

Revolution 5/5
The first song begins quietly and earthy in a low acoustic guitar and increases continuously up to the meaningful chorus.
The song ever destroyed first doubts on a complete change of style, because what is fabricated, the Jbt not only consistent, but usual socio-critical and full Roots Einflüsse.Großes cinema!

One Way Road 4/5
The first single from April Uprising comes in very fast therefore in robe and pop, without which it would be too strange style or shallow.
The chorus is quite stick with the listener in the ear canal and spreads good Laune.Wrong way going down a wrong way road ...

Cmon now 3/5
Suddenly it is fast and full of energy on April Uprising. Cmon now exudes a certain Hillbilly Western style, which indeed sounds interesting but in this song sounds pretty immature and not remain really depend.

Id Do Anything 5/5
Jbt in the footsteps of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but better than just one copy! A song for a hot summer day on the desire for "your" ... "Id do anything just to be with you" class song!

Ragged Mile 5/5
For me, my highlight of the CD! When I already saw a live recording of the song, an ice-cold shiver ran down my spine ... John alone with percussion and his Banjo.Der song builds incredible tension and produces a pretty raw wrote incredible feeling in the Magengegend.Wieder usual heavy and Roots storey, simply what makes the Jbt for me.

Johnny Gone 5/5
And where the last firecrackers only just stopped, already begins the next an.Johnnys Gone indeed leaves a slightly pensive mood and is relatively easy to knit, but unmistakably and easily Country default. From commerce no trace ...

Close to you 5/5
John Butler with electric guitar in his hand? Here must be something wrong laufen.Aber why it sounds so good then?
Close to you grooved loose with a good portion of rock'n'roll through space, so that you can hardly escape the whole ... "I wanna be close to you ..." class song!

Dont Wanna See Your Face 5/5
And now John raps still a loose Country Roots Groove ... The Jbt shows on this CD more than to experiment, but this goes this time absolutely in the right direction. The hook of "Dont Wanna See Your Face" is a neat stick in the ear, and even in this song lacks a no. On a guitar solo

Take me 5/5
Slowly, I wonder if I deal lightly with 5 points, but also the song can not miss what hat.Der to be on a good JBT CD song begins with a guitar solo and unison singing Johns and increases scary in the song Refrain.Ein again something has to give you goosebumps to offer and not worse than other songs of Jbt stands.

Fool For You 4/5
Fool for You comes therefore significantly simpler than the rest of the songs and sprayed with the strings the feeling of Love Songs ...
Nevertheless, the song fits seamlessly into the style of the album and it deserves to be heard.

To look like you 3/5
This song is the first album, which acts to me personally too commercial and not suitable for the style of Jbt ...
Although the song has just a typical guitar solo, but the chorus and the vocal line of the verse only shallow rippling past one and sound like from each next best high-school punk chorus .... Too bad!

Steal it 3/5
Steal it moves back to the stylistic direction of Red Hot Chili Peppers, but can not quite convince. The song just shallow ripples on a past as well as the last song Tat.Der this could be of pretty much every band and provides nothing special unlike other songs on the CD, the CD now dar.Erlebt their disposal?

Mystery Man 5/5
No! Because mystery man even very quiet and lightly floats through the robbery, but can build on old material. The Guitar Picking intro like just as the sung in the choir chorus. The song itself is catchy, but not bad.

Gonna be a long time 3.5 / 5
... Could be a song that will eventually ignite. The Reggae rhythm of the song of the chorus but not definitely goes into the ear, unfortunately.
"In Ready" from the One Way Road Single I liked a little better, but the song is not not in spite of everything bad.

A star is born 2.5 / 5
A star is born will conclude the Cd and sounds with his guitar picking and the sluggish but earthy rhythm again zienlich uncommercial, but John sings unusually high and the vocals do not convince quite. The song not experienced a particular highlight and is thus unfortunately rather uninteressant.Der worst song on April Uprising.

After listening to the CD, one can say that the album is on the one hand very varied, but without the reference to the overall grand style full of grandiose guitar parts and the Roots elements to lose. The album includes such highlights his Grand National, but also its weaknesses.
Who is a longtime fan of the band, should not shy away this CD to open ... Because just as Grand National this album includes anthems that simply make up this band.
