Editorial Review: Product Description: Blame It On Gravity is the seventh studio album and the first new album in 4 years from alt-country pioneers Old 97 s. The album finds the band turning up the amps and returning to the satisfying crunch with a mix of rock, punk, pop and classic country that defined the band s sound on earlier albums. The band credits the new album s enthusiasm to their return to their hometown of Dallas, TX to record, the first time since their initial independent release. The band, still comprised of original members Rhett Miller, Murry Hammond, Ken Bethea and Philip Peeples, deliver what they believe is the finest album of their 15-year career. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Catch 'Em Live!!!Blame It On Gravity- I love this album, and I wanna tell ya.. catch 'em live if you can! Saw the Old 97's live for the first time last night(8/1/08) at Webster Hall, NYC. Dynamite show! These boys play with a ton of fun-loving verve, and a whole lotta heart and soul.. Great Music, Terrific Live Band!!! Rating: - Another great release from an amazing lyricist & bandFantastic cd; great, clever lyrics; updated sound, but still hard-charging guitar licks. Great addition to The Old 97's library! Rating:  - The Old 97's put out another good pop-fest of an albumThis is another good pop album from the Old 97's with a lot of toe tapping melodies and some great jangly guitar work. It's not as alt-country sounding as their earlier masterpieces like "Too far to Care" or "Wreck Your Life", but there's still a lot of good material on this new album. Overall, not a bad song on the whole thing, and that's saying something. For the ultimate Old 97's experience, they need to be seen live. But in the meantime as we wait for them to come back to town, this disc in the CD player will do just fine. Oh yeah, and also a thumbs up to their previous live album, "Alive & Wired". Rating: - fast and funThe boys are in fine form on this one. More solid front to back than "Drag it Up". I've always been partial to the uptempo thrashy songs from the 97's, but I have to say that I really love "Color of a Lonely Heart". This one's gonna stay in heavy rotation for a long time in my music world. Rating: - Their best since Too Far to CareThis CD is a return to the Old 97's that I fell in love with.Drag it Up left me kind of cold. BIOG has the hooks, fantastic songwriting (from both Rhett Miller and Murry Hammond), and the solid drumming of Phil Peeples. The difference, it seems to me, is the return of guitarist Ken Bethea as a focal point on many of the songs. Songs like The Fool, Dance with Me, and particularly Ride have quitar hooks that enhance the songs tremendously. Color of a Lonely Heart is Blue is one of the most beautiful songs written in the last few years, regardless of genre. All in all, a superb CD. |
