Al K Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 "The Raspberries — Abide Shut of day Plank" sitcom broil Waved Hearsay presents its supreme monodrama cross swords up to subliminal self, the devout readers who affect at this juncture up interpret approximately gentle and run smoothly, out the auld lang syne till the newfashioned. Here's your indeterminate over against bag a final draft re The Raspberries — Live through Sunrise Release, a lush 2-CD Tin in line with bribe candent DVD(5 songs) that commemorates The Raspberries capital full of pep shows modern 30 years! Alter ego listened until the CD and watched the bonus system DVD additionally the leave, and the rate is hegemonistic, the harmonies motionlessly array, and the guitars peacefulness click. Tried, the gents are octogenarian of late, unless it imperative be present on the side opening 30 years. Remedial of those uninformed, The Raspberries were a Beatle-influenced pandura plebeian streak without Ohio that played patchy, ariose low camp at a goof-off time all the same body politic au reste seemed so that subsist jamming, smokin' mess and exploring their pleasant center of gravity. Collected wherewith the band's rally frostiness suits and poufy spoonful, my humble self could plural vote ministry were viewed per, declamation, Allman Brothers Tie up fans buff-yellow affair, in that moderately frickin' bugger cause their hitch. If not upon this new generation Foreday electron optics looker modernistic Chicago, The Raspberries' songs were extortionate, euphonious and discontinuous, a thing that would after all hallmark what quasi by called "pretense pop". The combination short ventage nationally into 1972 together with a giant nun called "Pushiness To a fare-you-well", which garb a kinky, melodize-chiseling intro- which flinty plastic tape was songwriter Eric Carmen optative in consideration of follow suit sympathy the intro? The slim three readers who email yourselves the condign deny see fit mastery a freebie literary artefact on this radiant squad. Term self-regarding philosophy much him, reckon on The Raspberries inward a 1973 smithereen compete with an inward-bound-organization production anent the forementioned ode. __________ Just when you think you've read it all...let's see who can decipher this "review."

austinberries Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 i'm pretty sure they are saying the Raspberries are a "plank of shut" recognizable by their "Beatle-influenced pandura plebeian streak" & often inciting fans to give in to "exploring their pleasant center of gravity" so which part did you not get, Al? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelina Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 So I took this review to the bathroom mirror to read its image aloud while playing L.O.S.S backwards on my iPod...I also closed one eye, poked myself in the other eye.....and squinted. At that point I could swear I read "Great CD/DVD of the seminal power-pop band of the 70's". I then put ice on my eye......and took an advil for the headache I got from reading the original review.

raspathens Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hey Brian, can you imagine what number 250 must write like? "Jim rat-tat-tats a glossy carnal answer to the spirit's three fisted proclamation of elementary school rejection". At least you didn't single out the University of Georgia.
