And in the interest of democracy, this thread could be for anyone who is not so keen on Olympia after they have played it in full a few times. J.O'B. |

It`s hopeless to deal with young people`s views and be in Ferry-land at the same time, IMO. "-an artist who has spent most of his career playing with notions of artifice". Well, that`s the trouble with Bryan, IMO. These are the views of people who hasn`t waited as long as we have. Olympia gets 5 out of 10 stars: http://drownedinsound.com/releases/1576 ... 352?ticker |

Here`s a new one. Not far from slaughter. The first Scandinavian review gives Olympia 3 out of 6 stars: http://ekstrabladet.dk/musik/intlalbum/ ... 436728.ece |

You can discuss 'till eternity about what's good and what's bad - it's also a matter of taste. In Humo, a dutch magazine, Olympia get's a very good comment, only 'Song to the Siren' is quoted negatively, while a lot of fans seem to like this song the most... so... |

Hello all !!!! I do understand how there be others that have reservations about Bryan's new release, I myself love the earlier Roxy releases and was anticipating actually a new Roxy album, But I have heard the Bryan Ferry album on the internet, I do like it, I had read that Rolling Stone had some very compliments !!! Regrettably where I live ( Topeka , Kansas- not very cultured ... in Kansas they still listen to the 80's hair bands and Lynard Skynard - spelled wrong purposely this has resulted in real disdainment for where I live , and a very rebellious Punk attitude soooo... ) the new release will not be heard here .... I have resulted to reading and watching on the internet, I wish that there was more marketing in the US. This is a release that should be Marketed... intensely. So Bryan if you do read these or have a staff keeping up the these sites... Marketing , marketing marketing ... E- news, a Rolling stone article, Us nightly talk shows, we need the excitement of anticipation here !!! |

From Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant: Bryan Ferry klinkt nog steeds druilerig Bryan Ferry: Olympia. Virgin/Emi. Erg productief kun je Bryan Ferry niet noemen, Olympia is zijn eerste plaat met nieuw eigen werk sinds 2002. Enige urgentie valt er op Olympia niet te ontwaren. Hooguit aardig zijn de verwijzingen naar vroege Roxy Music-platen in de teksten, terwijl ook de als een Jerry Hall opgemaakte en gekapte Kate Moss op de hoes aan oude glorietijden herinnert. De muziek helaas niet. Die klinkt even druilerig als op de schaarse soloplaten die Ferry sinds Bête Noire (1987) uitbracht. Melodisch zit er in de meeste liedjes geen enkele ontwikkeling, en alleen de dromerige zang biedt enig houvast. Productioneel is de plaat nodeloos volgestopt. Imposant is alleen het lijstje gastmuzikanten, van Flea tot David Gilmour en Brian Eno. Maar ook zij weten bijvoorbeeld de cover van Tim Buckleys Song To The Siren niet uit de anonieme geluidsbrij te trekken. Keywords: drizzling, not urgent, no development, 2 out of 5... Sadly to say, couldn't agree more... |
