Customer Reviews of Black Diamond
What Are You Waiting For? Buy This CD And Spread the Word Stan Ridgway is one of those "special" artists -- you know, the ones nobody's quite sure they've heard of, but people familiar with him just kind of wink, saying: I've been there.
SR is film, he's music, he's literature, he's Johnny Cash and Rod Serling and Ennio Morricone and all sorts of other things all rolled into one. If Harry Dean Stanton wrote tunes, he'd be Stan Ridgway. If L.A. Confidential were a person, he'd be Stan Ridgway.
Every album Stan's done is the best album he's ever done. They're addictive, they're good driving music, and some stuff, particularly on this CD and on the Drywall: Work the Dumb Oracle CD, will make you feel just a little uncomfortable to be living in this day and age.
Underneath it all, Stan is a stunningly original talent. This is a fantastic CD.
Okay? Buy it. Just buy it. If you don't like it, who knows? Maybe you're not living on the right planet (or maybe you are, and you just don't know it yet).
Stan's Atonal Storytelling
Whenever Ridgway is discussed, the review always includes comments about his ability as a storyteller, comparisons to pulp fiction, atonal vocals, and the generally unusual atmosphere. And well a review should, because Ridgway's music contains all these things. This is the best of his solo efforts, although I'm sure many of the Ridg-O-nauts out there would disagree. Stan does what he does best on this album, tell quirky little stories about directors of the CIA, released convicts out for a cruise on the beach, souless entrepenus. I enjoy Ridgway's music, and his sense of humor is always welcome in an industry of pop bands that take themselves far too seriously.
