Music That Is Different

Pros: Great to listen to. Never gets old
Cons: You may not fully experience it on a portable CD player.
I'm a fan of many music genres. You name it, rock, hip-hop, heavy metal, punk, ska, even techno. This summer an industrial musical group called the Blue Man Group performed on Jay Leno. The Blue Man Group or BMG are a different kind of band. What makes them different is that they use instruments that they make themselves, each with unique sound and tone. You may see them on the recent Intel commercials. They are more than just musicians, they are an experience.
Blue Man Group
If the Blue Man Group had to be compared to one music genre, I would say that it was similar to techno. After I saw them on the Tonight Show, I knew that they were a different group that had their own way of performing. I was very interested in listening to some of their songs. The song is performed on the Tonight show back in July, was called Rods and Cones. This has an upbeat tempo that is fast, and has a great beat. When they performed, they had backpacks on that had pipes coming out of them. This is what they used to make the music. At first I laughed. Just a thought of pipes making music that I would like was preposterous. After heard the song, quickly down what it called MP3 on my computer. This is when I realized that the Blue Man Group had many other good songs on their album. Has put off buying it until this weekend. It was the birthday and received a $15 gift certificate from one my friends to local music store. I really was not sure what type of music it was called so I asked one of the clerks to help me find it. She led me to the dance section of the store. This was ridiculous because the Blue Man Group from what I heard was not dance music. To point out the CD and I was more than happy to pay the $13.99 price.
I ran home and popped it into my CD player. I really did have high expectations for this album because how seriously can you take guys in blue. My expectations were blown away after listening to just five minutes of this album. This was filled with catchy beats that you could stay home and listen to forever, over and over again for any mood youre in. I still say that Rods and Cones is the best track on that album. This is not a bad thing each track is great in some way each feeling to it, different speed and each special in its own way.
The Blue Man Group are very unique musicians. With their own instruments, they make music to make me feel good and music that is good for any time a day, any type of mood you're in, and any type of music fan. Please to not judge them because they're Blue, they are some of the most talented musicians, and they have some of the catchy beats and I have ever heard.
Something that might surprise you is that the Blue Man Group does not have any lyrics. That's right all they use our drums pipes tubes and other contraptions that they make themselves this actually makes very good music. Music you want to listen to over and over again.
So as you can tell, I really liked this album. My only this agreement I would have with this music is that there's no climax or highpoint reach song. Theyre all repetitious songs that go on for matter of minutes and succeed to get your attention. I'm glad I bought the album. So how did the Blue Man group's album entitled Audio stack up? Ratings are from one to five stars.
Hear Is The Breakdown
Beats
*****
I now see how this music store put this album in the dance section of the store. I see how people could dances music; I also see how people can love this music. How they can sit home and listen to this music while on the computer, playing a game of cards, or socializing with their friends. The bottom line is that these beats or regional and listen to you cannot find anywhere else in todays music world.
----------------------------------------------------
Overall
*****
I heard that the Blue Man Group made their own studio just to make this album. This had to be a place that had enough space to accommodate all their instruments and musical needs. Blue Man Group is now in the homes of many music lovers and on to the hard drives of many music fans computers. Theyre a different kind of band, to think that three guys in blue suits can make good music is ridiculous until you listen to this album. I am now truly a fan and listen to this album every day. I promise you, if to pick-up this album, you will feel the same way.
Bottom Line: To any fan of music, pick-up this album.
