Review of the Everclear CD Sparkle And Fade
The extremely talented group Everclear have released their latest CD on the Capitol / EMI Records recording label, entitled Sparkle And Fade.
Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Sparkle And Fade has a pleasantly varied, mix of 14 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly superb musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.
I’m of the opinion that Sparkle And Fade is certainly some of this groups best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it’s a collection that even the casual Rock fan can appreciate and enjoy.
While this entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 3 - You Make Me Fell Like A Whore, track 12 - Pale Green Stars, and track 14 - My Sexual Life.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Electra Made Me Blind. Good stuff!
