Guest Low Roller Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 I bought the new NMAS album "Polaris" last week, and I gave it plenty of opportunities to impress me. Unfortunately it has run out of chances. I find only three tunes on the disc to be worthwhile listens, and the rest of the CD is pretty lame. Imagine a hard-hitting blues band deciding to do radio-friendly pop tunes, and that's what you get with Polaris: a bomb. And not the good kind. Four words: guest vocalist Noel Gallagher. I'm still gonna go to the show at Barrymore's, and it's at that point that I will be passing my final judgement on these boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really been big on any of the NMAS cds - i've heard they put on a great show, but, to date they do little for me...with the exception of their contribution on "The Word".

Jaimoe Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 quote:Originally posted by Low Roller: Dishonourable Mentions: North Mississippi All Stars - Polaris (weak weak weak studio effort by NMAS) Agreed Low Roller. I had to turn it off. My worries about the band are true. They are turning classic rock. When they played the blues, the All Stars brought were a breath of fresh air to the jam scene. With two weak and disappointing albums in a row, I'm no longer going to the concert in Toronto on October 1st, and I'm off that night! They are waaaay to influenced by the music that their father produced in the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Although I have abondonned the NMAS studio stuff, I'll still give them the benefit of the doubt as far as delivering a solid live show. I will still go to the show in Ottawa on the 2nd, but I'll bring a basket filled with fruit that is in turn filled with rocks and bees just in case. The only tracks that are worth my time on Polaris are 1,8, and 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 I agree with your Polaris track recommendations Low Roller. The Allstars should stick to the blues. I can't say it enough. They are over-produced on 51 Phantom and Polaris as well. I wish they made a " Shake Hands " part II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
