Entertainment Five fall releases worth consideration By Rick Hevman Emerald Contributor Christmas is not only a time to catch up on sleep. hut also a _Record Review— time tor tne to catch up on some rc( ords that came out during fall term but never got reviewed With that exi use in mind, let's look at five fall re leases Kdie Brickcll and New Bohe mians — Shooting Rubber bands at the Stars Another terrific album in a year when women turned out the best music It's playful, it's deep; it's offbeat, it's subtle It's worth getting An auspi cious debut Crosby. Stills. Nash and Young — American Dream CSNY's first album since /)e/a t’u with all four members aboard is a mixed bag. "This Old House," a N'eil Young song alxiul a farmer whose land is about to l>e repossessed. Is sheer bliss it's heartfelt, poignant, and oh-those harmo nies!

American Dream may not la? the album CSN'Y fans have been dreaming about for 1H years, but it does have its mo ments Young's songs an? the Is-st he's written since Rust Sever Sleeps While ( SN's contributions seem a bit spotty, it's hard to get a focused opin ion about a classic Kind s cur rent record at the time it's re leased. If their past release re cord is any indication, we ll certainly have lime (alxiut five years) to ruminate on American Dream Pink Floyd — The Delicate Sound of Thunder I was extremely cynic al about "Pink Floyd" reforming with out their primary sing er songwriter Roger Waters Their last studio album. /\ Mo mentary lapse of Reason, did little to dissuade many that the Pink Floyd name should have been gracefully retired Their tour, however, re c eived good reviews and the re c ently released live souvenir. The Delicate Sound of Thunder may make many people rethink both the viability of the new Floyd and Waters' true contri butions to the old Floyd The album's digitally rec ord ed sound is incredibly c lear. .is the band's intricate sound would demand The soloing on c lassies like "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" or "Comfort ably Numb" is gripping and the new songs sound much bet ter in the company of < lassu s than they did on the studio I.P Indeed, in main respei Is, Floyd is better than ever Wa ters' gloominess is gone. Dave ('.ilmour is a more pleasant singer to listen to than Waters was. and ('.ilmour originally sang lead on most ol the old material used for Thunder any vva\ A really pleasant surprise Keith Richards — Talk is Cheap If ever there was a music al pair who needed each other, it’s Keith Richards and Mick Jagger. (agger's last solo album was all hooks and no heart Richards's record is almost the opposite — biting guitar lines and some unpolished nx k songs that cry out for a front man with some pop sensibili ties. Overall. Keith's is the better solo record, mostly because he's the best rhythm guitarist in rock history, so it's a treat to listen to his guitar work Plus, his grittv sound is emotionally honest. Anything he did would be worth listening to. But as a frontman. Keith can't really carry a whole album A track or two on a Stones album is usual ly enough So. is Talk is (.‘heap worth the money? If you've always been fanatical about Richard's guitar playing, as i have, then the answer is yes The Watcrboys — Fisher man's Blues To quote one of the Water boys' early songs: "Out of all of the people I ever knew If one should have made it It should have been you " The Water boys are one of the l>est bands of the 'BOs. but also one of the decade's best-kept secrets Fisherman's Hines, their first album since 1‘185's absolutely stunning This is the Sea. marks a retooling of the band's per sonnel and style. .Multi-instru mentalist Karl W'allinger left to form World Party, to be re placed by fiddle player Steve Wickham Co-founder Anthony Thistlethwaite traded in lus saxophone for a mandolin. Be i ause thev hailed from Ireland and also sported a Big Sound, the Waterbovs were forever be ing grouped with l '2 The Walerboys' c ore \1 ikt* Scott's impeccable songwriting ear and impas sioned vocals — remains, but the musical landscape they ex plore has changed. This shift was commercially risky ra dio may have gone for an Irish hand on H2's coattails, hut al most certainly will not go for Fisherman's Blues This near c ertainty is a travesty of mtisi cal justice one of 1‘IHH's best records should not languish in ohst urity.
