Live – Birds of Pray

Live
Artist: Live
Title: Birds of Pray
Label: MCA
Rating: 5/10

Company Line: Kowalczyk says, “The coolest thing about this record is that we’ve been really conscious of not losing the band’s rock roots in the midst of experimenting with new sounds.” But Kowalczyk is quick to point out that while the experience of making the record has been a transcendent one, LIVE’s fans are what’s important.

The Good:
“Heaven” – Not quite up to hits from the past. It’s sad to see this is as good as it gets for these guys these days.

The Marginal:
“Sanctity Of Dreams” – You’ve really heard this before. Nothing overly exciting.
“What Are We Fighting For” – The subject isn’t only tired but the sound is making me grow weary.
“Out To Dry” – Something good, something bad.

The Ugly:
“Bring The People Together” – I don’t buy it. These guys can pretend to be hard asses you just won’t feel it.
“Life Marches On” and “Like I Do” – I can’t imagine it gets more monotonous than this.

Frankly: If you’ve bought all the other Live records you might not find a difference between this one from the others.
