Customer Reviews of Tomcats Screaming Outside
The Decline and Fall of Roland's Empire This record has good initial impact, the guitar on the opening track is hard and has bounce. On repeated listenings, however, Ticket to the World exhibits problems with this album generally. That guitar riff is recycled from thousands of rock songs of the last four decades, (borrowing hard from surf and go-go bar music) and the lyrics are nothing more than cliche rock pseudo-bohemian mentality. In fact, on many of the songs, the lyrics are just a cut-and-paste collection of cliches or corny old sayings. Roland does still produce some good, atmospheric sounds and themes, though. This might make Hypnoculture the best track on the disc, the blend of African voices with the jazz-rock theme is very attractive. But then on Love of Cain we get stuck with a corny old blues lick ripped off from the Rolings Stones, which the Stones ripped off about forty years ago from some poor black guy in east Tennessee.
Hey Andy is a very strong track, as is Kill Love, showing that Roland is still capable of being a good tunesmith. Burt with three strong tunes to represent it, and the rest of the record ranging from marginal to forgetable, this album shows a further decline from his achievments on ELEMENTAL and RAOUL AND THE KINGS.
Best of 2001, so far...
The import version of this album has been on my carousel since April (same track listing, higher price). I have spun it innumerable times and it still sounds fresh and inspiring to me. I have found it especially comforting and relevant in recent days of anxiety and chaos.
Roland is perhaps the most underrated talent in modern pop/rock music. It seems some just want to stick him in an '80s cameo and leave him there. If so, it's very sad that they are missing the boat. Though, in one way, Roland does seem to be a throwback to a more idealistic time when people believed rock music could actually change the world. But is he a throwback or a visionary? Listen to the pure joyousness of the Hendrix-inspired shimmering-with-light guitar solo on "Hey, Andy", or how he redefines dance music on "Low Life", then you decide.
There may be a better album out there this year but, so far, I have not danced to it.
Roland Rules
This album solidifies my belief that Roland is definitely what I loved about TFF. His voice is so strong and smooth and the music is really upbeat, mixes a bit of techno with a bit of rock. I'd have to say this is my favorite album by either TFF member. A must have!!
