Disco de Howie Day: “Stop All the World Now [Slipcase]”

Descripción (en inglés) :

This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other. <p>Personnel: Howie Day (vocals, acoustic guitar, piano); Les Hall (guitar, piano, Wurlitzer piano, harmonium, Mellotron, synthesizer, vibraphone, tambour); J. Clifford (guitar, background vocals); Simon Jones (bass guitar); Laurie Jenkins, Mark Heaney (drums). <p>Recording information: Olympic Studios, London, England. <p>Though his first indie LP was subsequently reissued on Epic, this is Howie Day's first full-length album for a major label. If it's a bit less quirky than his previous MADRIGALS EP, it's also more confident-sounding and not quite as precious. Not that Day has abandoned his gentle, Coldplay-meets-Jeff Buckley folk-rock sound. It's simply that STOP ALL THE WORLD NOW, produced by Killing Joke bassist Youth, evens out Day's style a bit. The soaring, angelic falsetto is frequently accompanied by ascending dynamics and some forthright electric guitar backing. No one's going to mistake songs like the vibraphone-laden lazy-Sunday ballad "I'll Take You On" (from whose lyrics this album's title is drawn) for the Strokes or anything, but fans of the poppier side of Britpop might just take a fancy to this emotive singer-songwriter's modestly rocking mood music.

This is the best cd i own i bought it in 05' and i still listen to it often. i like every song and i don't skip over any tracks. He is the only artist where i like every single song on all 7 of his albums. i repurchased this cd recently only to get the bonus dvd. It was well worth it. He is so talented. He gives a spectacular live show so go see him. his cd's include in order of release: Australia, Howie Day Live EP, The Madrigals EP, Stop All The World Now, Live From From EP, Sound The Alarm, Ceasefire.

I heard Howie with some regularity on XM and finally broke down and made the purchase. It's a great collection; I like this CD a LOT. His voice has an edge, but it remaims true. I love the entire CD and can't really say that there's a weak spot. Stand outs: The pop perfections of "She Says" and the gritty "You & A Promise". You can't go wrong.
