for countless years, all that is left to do is to give my opinion (as unbiased as possible) as to what ?With The LightsOut? has to offer??
<><><><><><><><><><>
THE FIRST REHEARSAL TAPE OF TEEN SPIRIT IS A HAIR-ON-END MOMENT ?Q magazine?
<><><><><><><><><><>
As has been stated in many-a-review that I have read recently (I like to fill myself in on the general response to the product for which I am reviewing), this box set is a definite no for anyone that considers themselves to be a casual fan of Nirvana?s music. The recording quality will do more to damage such peoples minds as to elevate their interest in the band - this is solely a package for fans such as myself who love everything to do with Nirvana and especially Cobain. That?s not to say they shouldn?t try it, but with warning that there is a big risk of it not being to your tastes ...
Advantages: Excellant for fans, previously unreleased work, great tracks Disadvantages: Could have included a few more and not doubled up on some, but thats just my opinion!
I was lucky enough to receive the new Nirvana boxset of ?With the LightsOut?, as a birthday present from my parents this year. Imagine my sheer joy, unwrapping what I suspected was this most treasured thing, in the right shape and size, I was like an animal haha. I received this early, because I have a busy weekend ahead, and actually won?t be home for the day of my birthday, so after listening all day to it, here?s my review!! I have decided to name the songs, places where filmed or recorded, and also a little about the song if I know anything about it. Hope you enjoy ~Maz x
Dictionary : (Nir ? Va ? Na) Nirvana :
1 : the final beatitude that transcends suffering, karma, and samaras and is sought especially in Buddhism through the extinction of desire and individual consciousness 2 (a) place or state of oblivion to care, pain ...
Advantages: Great songs, must-have in serious record collections Disadvantages: Some might not listen to it thinking it's "too folky"
For a quiet, unassuming man guitarist and singer RichardThompson has quite a number of claims to fame. For one he was instrumental (and vocal) in bringing about the great revival, or invention, of British folk-rock through his association with Fairport Convention. His refusal to be pigeonholed led to his departure from the band and then he hooked up with LindaThompson artistically and emotionally to create some fine albums before both things went pear-shaped. He is also one of Britain’s best-known Muslims, although unlike another well-known Muslim former singer/songwriter he does not proselytise or preach or advertise his faith. Apart from this, he has led a roller-coaster of an emotional life clinically, sometimes cruelly, documented through his music. And yet he can boogie with the best of them when he’s in the mood ...

Album Notes
The world's most underrated songwriter, although Thompson must tire of hearing it so often. Together with his ex-wife Linda they made a series of quite brilliant albums that garnered heaps of praise and minimal sales. This is another slice of perfection that veers from whimsical fun in 'Wall Of Death' to desperate emotions in 'Shoot Out the Lights', which features the definitive Thompson guitar solo. Critics have often been accused of hyping artists, but try as they may, they can't do it with this one. Time will tell but this album should be in many more homes.
Album Reviews
Rolling Stone (11/89) - Ranked #9 in Rolling Stone's "100 Best Albums Of The Eighties" survey. Alternative Press (5/01, p.104) - Included in AP's "10 Essential Breakup Albums" - "...Stark, personally charged folk-rock. Husband and wife take turns singing about what you'd expect - emotional pain, anger and dread."
