The fourth Roxy Music lp, released in 1974 brings another strong
effort from this art-rock band. Rockers like, "All I want is you
"and "Prairie Rose" are backed by great ballads like "A really good
time" and "Out of the Blue". Roxy was reaching the hieght of their
career and "Counrty Life" is an important album in theur career.
Second release of the U.S. version was minus the girls, but
thankfully, they returned the cd's release.
Released before Roxy Music became a de facto Bryan Ferry project,
but after their Brian Eno-influenced art-rock stage, Siren is a
snapshot of a band in flux, and loving it. There's little of the
boundary-pushing primitivism that marked their self-titled debut.
Still, Ferry's youthful edge and the band's rough-hewn melodicism
will shock those expecting to hear the adult-contemporary silkiness
found on 1982's massive-selling Avalon. Both camps should
nevertheless admire this record for so recklessly and beautifully
straddling that massive stylistic gap. Featuring their first modest
hit in the U.S., "Love Is the Drug," the record overflows with
choruses that reveal their hooks slowly while drawing on sunny,
spare instrumentation and Ferry's loopy, still-developing croon. As
the band wrestles between glam-pop, sleek dance tunes, and shiny,
Moody Blues-esque rock & roll, they don't sound at all like a
band running from its past. Ferry and his cohorts are just taking
back the reins, revealing the brisk melodies and strong songwriting
that were the one constant in Roxy Music's lifespan. --Matthew
