Album Description

"New Health Rock" is a dancy, catchy track that'll have you feeling better the minute those beats kick in. The b-side, "Modern Romance", is an a cappella version of The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' hit, while "The Wrong Way" is a stellar track off of "Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes". Look for them on tour with The Faint this fall.

Healthy rock.......2005-02-10

TV on the Radio are among the unlikely hit bands, capturing a wider audience than anybody expected. The "New Health Rock" EP is an interesting three songs, albeit not entirely rewarding ones: two are extremely good, but the middle one is a bit of a fizzer.

The title track is a gritty, dancey song that gives a heady twist to typically catchy rock. Wedged in the middle is the well-named "Wrong Way" -- it sounds like it could've been a good song, but that the band never quite figured out what to do in it. Finishing things up is a murky, dark cover of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Modern Romance," complete with zombie vocals and electronic twiddles.

It's always a good sign when a young band experiments with their sound -- it ensures that the fans won't become bored, and the sound won't get stagnant. So it's good that TV on the Radio is stretching their wings into funkier, dancey indierock rather than resting on their laurels.

Not all experiments work. "Wrong Way" tried hard to be a weird experimental song, but it's too loose and meandering. However, the title track and ghostly Yeah Yeah Yeahs covers are excellent samples of TV on the Radio's rock style -- heavy, thick music paired with low growly vocals, almost like chants.

"New Health Rock" isn't a total success, but the first and last songs are definitely worth a listen. Here's hoping TV on the Radio goes off in those directions.

Excellent But Diiferent Follow Up.......2004-11-03

This is an excellent follow up EP. Different than Staring At The Sun, simular writing styles in both music and words but with a lot of funk.

TVOTR can do no wrong in any way ..........2004-10-14

This EP should come packaged with oven mitts for your ears.

The leading track "New Health Rock" captures a live feeling lacking on previous efforts. An exciting direction for their music to take them in, and I suspect it's an offshoot of their touring ... something a bit more vital in their performance ... captures a feeling of somethng happening, than a recording of something that happened. This first track has cycled in my player for the last hour.

"Modern Romance" provides the direct contrast to the two previous tracks with melodic chanting around a cooling bonfire once you've got the stomping out of your system. The intoxicated buzz is wearing off and we're left in a cathartic trance. A way to walk it off after an 8 minute sprint.

There's no wearing this stuff out. Hard to say "more of the same" for a group constantly trying on new clothes, but it's consistant with all previous work.

This EP is also available from iTunes ... so you can purchase the two new tracks and skip "the wrong way" if you already own their LP.

Here are the details........2004-10-13

Because Amazon hasn't posted the details yet, let me:

The latest from TotR, 3 tracks.
1. New Health Rock, 4:03
2. The Wrong Way, 4:39
3. Modern Romance, 4:11

The Wrong Way is the first track from their LP, Desperate Youth Blood Thirsty Babes. New Health Rock and Modern Romance are more of the same. If you liked previous TV On The Radio releases, get this, you'll like it too. If you haven't heard any TV On The Radio before, first go check out their fabulous EP, Young Liars.

Traditional songs of the sea........2007-07-07

If one likes traditional songs created during the days of the sail ship from the U.S. and England, then this is a good cd for that. I enjoyed it very much.
