Album Review
Despite supposedly being influenced heavily by hardcore and punk as a young lad (as were his bandmates in Kyuss), as a solo artist Brant Bjork has been all about the 1970s — and more specifically, early Santana and late Jimi Hendrix (circa First Rays of the New Rising Sun). And that is precisely the direction Bjork follows on his 2005 double-disc set (another nod to the '70s, when double albums were king), Saved by Magic. What you get is a smorgasbord of vintage Bjork, including ditties built around his trademark slinky guitar parts ("'73" and "Inside of You"), jive rockers ("Gonna Make the Pony Trot"), bluesy detours ("Sweet Maria's Dreams"), Hendrix-ish wah-wah guitar ("Dylan's Fantasy"), and strutting grooves ("Let the Truth Be Known"). While newcomers would probably be better introduced to the trippy work of Brant Bjork via one of his earlier single discs (namely Jalamanta), if you're looking for a whole lot of this drummer turned frontman, Saved by Magic will surely satisfy your appetite.
Customer Reviews
saved by the magic of the past
brant bjorks past creations far exceed this album, but it still has good beats and catchy lyrics. it seems many of the songs are filler, and do not have individual listening value between the tracks that fit my expectations for brant bjork.
One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE albums.
I really dig Brants vibe. The Bros really step up on this record with some serious groove and trippy psychedelia.if you're cherry picking, check out MODA, LET THE TRUTH BE KNOWN, AVENIDA DE LA REVOLUCION, INSIDE OF YOU. But, do your soul a favor and buy the whole album. It's 19 songs for ten bones. Listening to Brant Bjork can make you cooler. I've seen it happen. Peace!
