Customer Reviews of Deluxe
Better Than ......Most of today's music While this album struck me as being very good when it came out, having just recently found it on my shelf and playing it again only shows me that it's even better than it was seven years ago.
While the sound of the songs is very much in line with what was the style at the time (heavy guitar, bass, drum....grunge), the totality of the musical efforts exceeds the sum of the parts in just about each case. The lyrics are often sharp, ("Teenager,) paint vivid mental images ("This Time of Year,") and metaphorical ("Rosealia"). And while the songs may share a sound, they certainly don't all sound alike. What's more, they're songs you can have going through your head hours after listening to the CD. "Good" is probably this CD's most well-known track, but there isn't a stinker in the lot. Maybe 1995 really was "the good old days."
One of the Best Albums of the 1990's
I bought this album after hearing "Good" and "Rosealia" on the radio. When I first got the album, I listened to mainly the more upbeat songs like the two mentioned above and "Southern Girl". These songs have a classic southern-rock feel to them and have great melodies. Really it was a breath of fresh air after all the grunge music of the early 90's. The last track "Coyote" is a great mid-tempo country rock song.
Later I started to get into the slower stuff on the album and was amazed by how good these songs were. There are 5 excellent slower songs on this album. At the end of the album, you have the two acoustic numbers "Porcelain" and "This Time of Year". Then there's "Heaven", which sounds like it was almost written by a Christian Rock band (not in a bad way, it's an amazing song). Then on the first half of the album you have "Cry in the Sun" (organ gives the song a great mood) and my personal favorite "The Killer Inside", which has a haunting but beautiful melody, real emotional. I could listen to these 5 songs over and over, I don't own any other albums which have 5 slow songs half this good.
Some people have criticized the production on this album, saying it's amateurish, but I think it really adds to the songs and makes the album sound unique. The CD has a "live" feel to it, really natural and unforced. It lets the songs and vocals really shine through. "Porcelain" sounds like it was almost was recorded on MTV Unplugged.
This is Better Than Ezra's best album. Their songwriting is at its best for this album and it is easily their most consistent effort. Like I said, the slower songs truly standout as some of the best music of the time. The one song I could do without is "Teenager", which isn't as strong as the rest of the album, but still an OK track.
This album was released in 1995 and I still listen to it all the time. I rated it #5 on my list of best albums of the 1990's.
