iTunes Review
After Sentimental Hygiene returned Zevon to public consciousness with its use of R.E.M. as his primary backing band, Transverse City is his call-up to the classic-rock elite. Jerry Garcia, Neil Young, Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour, Jefferson Airplane’s Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen and Tom Petty’s Benmont Tench all stop by to add their finishing touches. Zevon’s in a bitter mood, railing against the technology he sees enslaving us. His only sense of pleasure comes from the “Splendid Isolation” he finds in hiding out from the rest of mankind. The title track rails against the devaluing of life in the pursuit of money. “Run Straight Down” is a foreboding tune with everyone left running in the rain for something they can’t escape. “Down In The Mall” is a tale of dulled consumerism mated with a bright beat. “Gridlock” is a sign that Zevon’s been living in Los Angeles for too long. “Nobody’s In Love This Year” is a gentle tune that tries to find a silver lining in all this apocalyptic fog.
Customer Reviews
My favorite WZ album
"Run Straight Down" is worth the price of the entire album but I could almost say that about "They Moved the Moon" and "Nobody's in Love This Year." It's just a strong album with interesting (as usual) views on things. As someone on another site said recently "Bob Dylan WISHES he was Warren Zevon." There are great songs on all of WZs albums but for some reason this album is the one I personally think of as his best. Ironically, it was one of his worst received. Oh well...
But cue up "Run Straight Down" on a system with a decent set of speakers, crank up the volume and sit back and listen to the world going down the tubes! :)
