Breadline Love
Although there is a more modern hard rock edge to it, the main guitar riff on this is rooted heavily in old-school rock and roll. This is an energized piece with some classic hooks. |
|
I Got This
Another set in a old-school rock vein, this is closer to something like BTO. It works pretty well, but does have a bit of an awkward edge to it. |
|
Curveball
This isn't a big change. It has more of an alternative rock vibe, but informed by old school rock music. There are some hints of reggae in the tune. |
|
In the Meantime
The vocal arrangement on this works really well. There are some cool guitar fills built into it, as well. This is one of the more effective pieces here. |
|
Coming at You
I love the meaty and energetic rocking groove that opens this number. This song has a bit of a gritty, punk intensity and edge to it. |
|
The Winds of Time
There is plenty old-school rock and roll built into this thing, too. |
|
Let Me Tell You
More of a dreamy power ballad type cut, there is a lot of Beatles-like sound here. This is a cool tune. |
|
Call Me Raz
This explains where the name "Raz" comes from. It dates back to Michael Rescigno's childhood. This is a bouncy, slightly odd, but catchy, tune. |
|
The Times Together
A harder rocking tune, there is a real punk rock edge to this thing. It makes me think of DOA, just a bit. |
|
Nipple Town
This punk rocker makes me think of the Ramones' "Happy Family" quite a bit. |
|
Dirt
This classy and dramatic rocker is another that makes me think of DOA. It's also one of the highlights of the set. |

#9 Live N More
|
|
Coming At You
I think I like this live version better than the studio take of the song. It has some cool alternative rock charms in this performance. |
|
Curveball
This one works pretty well here, but I think I prefer the studio take on this one. |
|
Nipple Town
The live version of this tune is effective, but I definitely think the studio take is stronger. |
|
The Winds of Time
I'm not overly crazy about this tune, particularly in this live version. |
|
The Boy
Now, this cool cut has tasty. There are some definite edges of psychedelia to it that really bring some magic to it. |
|
Say Ya Love Me
I like the punky edge of this cut. It rocks well, making it one of the highlights of the bonus disc. |
|
Back in the Shadows
I love the soaring guitar fills on this cut. The tune has a rocking edge that has hints of space rock in it. This is actually one of the highlights of the whole set. |
