Album Review
As disparate as debut Novena on a Nocturn was, Black Out is even more courageous. The album employs moodier instrumentation, creating a melancholic disposition that's as discomfiting as it is winsome. Though the record can get quite intense — and with the stark, dark lyrics of Tim Kasher, often delivered in an eerie baritone, things get quite profound and stay that way even after it's over — it is definitely the mellowest drama that Kasher has been involved with to date. The '80s feel of the debut resurfaces, especially on the Americana-esque "Off the Beaten Path" and the discordantly memorable "Empty Bed," which suggests the Cure's Robert Smith singing along to a Fixx melody that U2 are playing. While this prominent vibe does rekindle a somewhat nostalgic musing, make no mistake: Black Out is a thoroughly modern invocation possessing a subdued, almost unspoken power that is even more so by being so consciously clear of clutter. ~ Brian O'Neill, All Music Guide
Recent Customer Reviews
Favorite Kasher
by HelloEdenA pretty good way to sum this up is I originally was much more of a cursive fan until I heard this album (I got album of the year before this) but after I picked up this album I am more of a Good Life fan. This album is so emotional and personal illustrated so beautifully with Kasher's voice. I am a big fan of albums that don't sound over produced, it always comes out much more personal sounding to me. Anyways I would recommend this to any fan of Kasher's work or anyone who doesn't mind a little tragedy in there lives.
Black Out
by TijuanahiredgunI heard this after "Album of the Year" and was happy to see a good consistency between the music on both albums. "Black Out" is its own animal, in many respects, and really an album to have a beer to.
You'd be stupid not to buy this!
by ikickgirls86It's one of those albums that once you have it, you forget that you have anything else to listen to. Tim is the best song writer of our generation, hands down. I suggest ordering the album so you can get a copy of the lyrics, because of how clever they are. It's in my top 5 favorite albums of all time.
