Real Radio Review

[davepeck]

I\'m sure it doesnt help The Breakfast much that there arent really any stations in CT to play music.

fixed.

yea your right, well who listens to the radio these days anyways.

The Breakfast are just trying to appeal to more of the masses with an album like RR.  Just releasing live stuff appeals to the "Jam Band" crowd, but that throws away the possibility of having a radio friendly song.  The Breakfast are trying to make an explosive album showcasing their energy without a 15 minute jam, one thing that phish was criticized for not being albe to accomplish.

good point...very well said....I think that its very important for a band to be able to reach people on all levels....espescually in the begining of there musical journey.....

As you all can see....there are a myriad of opinions even among folks who love the band.

Just for the record (sic) we simply set out to make excellent focused recording that showcased to songs as best as we could.  Why...because Bona Fide was widely criticised by folks who felt the songwriting was weak.  I wanted to show that the band could A) write songs, and B) sing.

I am quite comfortable that we did that, as is the band.  As for jamming....we already did two records which proved the band could do that.  Plus you can see the band do that at gigs all over, many of which are also available recorded form.  We were not trying to beat the live versions of the songs.....we were trying to define the songs that the jams grow out of.

If we did another Bona Fide, everyone would have continued to snipe at the band as a one trick pony that could jam but not sing or write a decent song.  We did not want to go that route again.

Cream had a lot of the same problems.....but the record Cream is remembered for is Disreaili Gears...the song album.  Not Wheels of Fire, the live album.

Collectively, we did what we felt was creatively the right thing to do.  Tim and the band have a lot of influences and interests that supercede just jamming, and we will continue to develope those interests as the band evolves.

Critics will continue to write articles about what THEY think we should do, which is inevitable.  We will continue to do what we think is best for the band.

Personally, I think you guys hit the nail on the head with a looonnngggg overdue display of the refined talent that the band is capable of. Let the critics have their feast....in the end we\'ll be laughing at them!!!

there are really 2 ways of looking at this:
1) "well this is how the music business \'SHOULD\' be and this is how people \'SHOULD\' listen to music.... etc"
2) "this is how the business IS, and right or wrong, one must cater to it in order to experience any degree of success."
whereas i can identify with the reviewer in his gripes about music in general, i think that real radio is just the beginning of what can be a really incredible studio direction for the band.  these guys can write, and this being their first really polished, well produced record, i think we can expect that this will only improve with time and upcoming releases.  new tunes should be on their way soon from what i understand, and personally, i\'m really excited to see what these guys will bring.

here here!

I think I\'m going to play Real Radio yet again (I\'ve listened to it a half dozen times in the past week) because I love it.

[Mark]

Dimension 5 is one of the best songs on Real Radio.

Fair review, I think. Breakfast is 1000x better live.

Wish I knew why D5 is already in the shitcan. What a great tune!

I\'m sure it doesnt help The Breakfast much that there arent really any stations in CT to play music.

fixed.

Truth to that! Mainstream radio in CT is the saddest thing ever.

[Spacey]

I am surprised that it hasn\'t been played more. It should be played at least once a week. Song, IMO, has potential.

[Rujah]

What is this place?
All these beautiful feelings
There is no time
Only vibrations

I lost my outlines
In a madhouse of colors
The universe
I love like no other


mmight I add Ronnie sings like this song like no other, and your right Spacey this song does have potential

[Jim Cobb]

shit you\'re right i\'m gonna listen to d5, what a good song.

The understanding that everything in the Universe is energy and that all energy is at different levels of vibration and frequency, indicates that all planets and their inhabitants vibrate at different levels. Planet Earth is a third dimensional planet with forth and fifth dimension activity in progression. Currently the beings on the planet Earth are estimated to be 60 percent in the third dimensional plane, thirty five percent in the forth and five percent in the fifth.

The planet Earth is currently going through a dimensional ascension, moving from third to fourth with the goal of being in the fifth. For individuals to shift with the planetary ascension, they must individually focus on raising their vibration / frequency level. Each dimension has seven planes. As vibration levels are raised (by releasing all blockages in the physical, emotional and mental bodies) the shift in frequency uplifts the person to the higher planes. To fully evolve into the fifth dimension the person must open up to unconditional love, expand his/her inner light quotient, be fully forgiving under all circumstances and not generate negative (harmful)  thought patterns.

aruny, thats absolutely correct, we\'re on the cusp of the next big leap in evolution.  i mean look at the main difference between us and the animals we evolved from: technology (tools) and communication.  in both of these areas, we\'ve come just about as far as we can.  i mean look at this message board.  through technology we are able to communicate information to just about anyone, and recieve almost any information our little hearts desire.  we as a human race are ready for whatever is next.  i mean if you look at the positions of the planets/stars/galaxies, we\'re rapidly approaching a celestial positioning that is identical to the positions of the planets/stars/galaxies when the mystical event happened that changed apes to men.  for the mayan\'s it is the end of their calender, some call it the 2nd coming of christ (which i believe to be the realization that we are all spiritual beings on the same level that christ supposedly was), some say that current events are operating in parallel with the book of revalations, whatever it is, something big is coming, and it\'s coming soon.  the end of the mayan calendar falls on dec 21st of 2012.  i don\'t know if that is actually the date that human consciousness will change, but i do know that the mayans were pretty dead on about most things.  its interesting stuff.  its huge in fact.  kinda instills a little faith that there is some bigger picture to things, outside of our control.

Read the F\'n Book.
that\'s kind of what the Celestine Prophecy is all about.
