Summary: Wrong again
Comment: Yes. Wrong again,you people who say there are no hummable tunes here. The CD is loaded with beautiful hooks,one right after another. As a matter of fact, I'm humming one right now. Do do, do do, do do, Given that Heaven away.
It's a shame a five star album turns into 3.5 because people don't share the same worldview as Jackson. Thing is, he's always been a left leaning idealist,I think. Never wavered in all those years. You, on the other hand,have. Bought the SUV and voted for W.

Summary: I like half of this
Comment: Jackson Browne continues to produce good music. This CD has a really good last 5 songs, as well as the title track. I am a fan of Jackson Browne, owning most of his CDs (and vinyl albums--yes, I'm old) and I'm really impressed with his continuous output of fine work. I liked Looking East. and The Naked Ride Home very much. I like half of this one.

Summary: enough of the politics already
Comment: I bought the new Jackson Browns album hoping and praying he would just shut up with the "I hate Bush and America has real problems" nonsense. We know..we know Jackson you don't like the president and dont like the politics of America. If we wanted to spend an hour listening to that we would turn on CNN or MSNBC. Jackson Browne is one of our greatest songwriters and has made some of the best albums I have ever heard. The ones he fills with obvious political statements are his WORST though. Of his latest works I loved I'm Alive, Looking East, and Naked Ride Home...this one is a DUD.

Summary: TIME INDEED
Comment: back when "jbrowne" was just an unknown author credit name on so many fantastic songs that were being covered recording artists in the late sixties, i felt compelled to search out and find everything this songwriter has touched with his genius.
in the days before internet such a quest was a supreme mystery and a journey into uncharted realms where a scarcity of fragmented bits of information eventually led to the source. somewhere, there was this anonymous inspired soul who had the magical ability to capture with a pen the secret emotions which experience carves into the deepest parts of every sensitive soul. his use of language, musical form, and intelligence was unrivaled in the music scene of that day. he had lifted songwriting to a new level of perfection and communicated truth with a consciousness far beyond his tender years.
that was then. and it pains me to have to admit what a bore "time the conqueror" was to hear from someone i so admire and appreciate and feel is a friend on some level of humanity.
he seems to have fallen prey to every myth of the leftist media machine, and to hear yet more whining about war and presidential incompetence and class envy is just too much to stomach. don't want political complaints when what i need is life.
all the skill, craftmanship, and careful production is there but something is missing in the whole effort. the compelling voice which used to convey something new and visionary and take me to the heights above all worldly madness, and offer some kind of desperately needed ministry was strangely silent, buried beneath tired thoughts, and fading in passionless weakness within prefabricated emotional packages.
just my take .....for what it's worth. still love the guy, but probably won't give this one another spin.

Summary: I'M SO SICK OF PAPER CD SLEEVES - SCRATCHED DISC AFTER ONE PLAY.
Comment: I listened to the first half of this record, and put it away. The 2nd time I tried to listen to it, the paper packaging had left a scratch on the disc that pervades every track like a jackhammer in the background. I'M SO SICK OF PAPER CD SLEEVES!!!

Browne's first studio release in six years. Recorded with his longtime band Kevin McCormick, Mark Goldenberg, Mauricio "Fritz" Lewak, and Jeff Young, along with two additional members, Chavonne Morris and Alethea Mills. Look for them on tour this fall.
