Format:Audio CD
A very promising first proper solo effort from the lead singer of Clem Snide (a very underated band). Pretty much him and guitar throughout, Eef sings in his usual forceful way about a variety of topics. Vocals are in your face from the start, which could put off some new to this artist. However, if you are a Clem Snide fan, you will want this album in your collection. One or two songs stand out...the stunning 'Well' in particular.
If you like this, I can highly recommend Clem Snide's last album as well.

Lacerating ballads of a subway troubador
17 Mar 2006
By Joller
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Eef Barzelay, whoever he may be, sings raw, twisted, slyly witty songs of love and yearning.
Just his lacerating voice and his acoustic guitar, strummed with such intensity that you can feel the callouses and blisters.
The effect is like strolling past a busker in a subway, stopping in your tracks a few paces down, turning around, and just watching him, transfixed, because he sounds like no-one you've ever heard before, and yet he reminds you of all the hungry young troubadors who have ever dared to make themselves heard.
I got this album through sheer curiosity, more on the strength of that bizarre name than anything else, and then the album got me and hasn't let go.
Whether you love or hate this music will depend on your tolerance for music that doesn't care whether you love or hate it. It's that personal and uncompromising.
Go on: if you're reading this, there's a pretty good chance that there's a space in your head that is waitng for the ballads of Barzelay.

Genius
22 Feb 2006
By J. Walker
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Barzelay's band, Clem Snide, is by far the most under-rated bands out there today, and this album reveals their secret ingredient, brilliant songwriting. Part Bob Dylan, part Woody Guthrie, with a dash of David Byrne, Barzelay is a true talent that is sure to deliver for years to come.
