2.0 out of 5 stars A long shot from Rocky and Shock., 1 Aug 2001
By Rick Douglas Janssen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Absolute O'Brien (Audio CD)
I've been a fan of Rocky Horror for many, many years now and recently purchased Shock Treatment, which I was totally captivated by. I love Richard's way of mixing 50's and 60's rock with that of the 70's and 80's. He is a wonderful lyricist and song writer and I'm very impressed with his work, in general.

I bought this CD hoping to find more of his music, similar in style to that of Rocky and Shock Treatment. I was disappointed with this CD mainly in the fact that the songs are all jazzy, lounge sounding songs. No electric guitars or catchy, fun choruses. There doesn't seem to be the same angst and fire that was in his other works. They seemed very mellow and tame, not cutting edge, rebelious, and memorable.

He does show his singing talent in this CD. If you are looking for music similar to his earlier works I wouldn't look here. If you want to see another dimension of Richard then this CD is worth a look.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprised, and extremely pleased, 7 Nov 2001
By "alecksandra" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Absolute O'Brien (Audio CD)
I have been a Rocky Horror fan for 8 years, and absolutely love Richard O'Brien's rock music. I had heard this was more of a jazz CD, but honestly I didn't really know what to expect when I bought it. I had thought I would hear something quirkly, and probably a bit odd despite the jazz description, but much to my great surprise the music is incredibly good. Even though I do like his films, I admit I had somewhat written off his singing talent and had always thought of Richard O'Brien as mainly a cult patriarch - but this CD proves he does have real musical talent and diversity. I was in a bit of shock when first heard the first few songs - I remember thinking "he really CAN sing". If you are a hard core Rocky Horror fan and are wanting more rock music this is probably not a CD you will like. If you are interested in hearing an incredible voice with incredible music, not to mention gaining a possibly new perspective on Richard O'Brien's talent, you will love this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Less Than the BEST!, 22 May 2000
By Rachael R. Samuels - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Absolute O'Brien (Audio CD)
What more could I possibly expect from this man? He's awesome and everything he does (I'll excuse Spice World...LOL) is awesome! Thanks Reckless Rick for once again proving your creativity and engeniousness. To anyone who is contemplating buying this album DO SO! When I got mine I had no idea how it was going to be and I didn't think I liked jazz at all. All in all the CD is awesome! My only complaint...IT SHOULD BE LONGER! :)
