5.0 out of 5 stars All-Time BEST Protest Rock Album!, April 18, 2007
By Kent D. Bentkowski "Kentroversy" (Buffalo, New York USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) This review is from: Triage (Audio CD)
David and David's BOOMTOWN was the single best album of the entire 1980's decade. Baerwald's TRIAGE holds a likewise distinction for the 1990's -- BEST album of the entire decade. I gave this album an intensive in-depth review in the 133 page eBook David Baerwald Triage Constitutional Study Module, along with the TRIAGE short film, which was released on DVD in June 2004. To get the full lowdown, take the effort to get that DVD, which is still available, and well worth having. A two DVD affair, it contains several New Folk Underground shows, the complete Baerwald video catalog, and the TRIAGE short film, plus an unreleased track as a Easter Egg. If anyone is interested in a copy of the TRIAGE STUDY MODULE eBook, just write me via my website THE KENTROVERSY PAPERS, and I will e-mail you a copy. My readers have said that this was well worth reading. David himself also offered generous and positive comments on the eBook, as well. TRIAGE the album is best understood, once one knows HOW and WHY it was written. David goes into this in his INTRODUCES TRIAGE promotional CD, which I transcribe in the study module itself. For example, A SECRET SILKEN WORLD becomes an audiobook come alive, with the listener themselves sitting in that limo, riding along on the prowl for trouble in middle Los Angeles. A jazzy song, it is always listenable. Other standout tracks on TRIAGE are THE POSTMAN, A BITTER TREE, THE WAITER, NOBODY, and A BRAND NEW MORNING. Baerwald was smart enough to comment on the conspiracy cultural zeitgeist that would reach fever-pitch one year after the albums release, with the new TV show called THE X-FILES. There was very good reason for this, and once one knows WHY THIS WAS, it makes Baerwald's motivation all the more powerful. Beyond the music, I absolutely adore the Raymond Chandleresque lyrics of David Baerwald. He can paint a scene in twenty words. This is a talent on par with Bob Dylan and Jack Kerouac, as well as the aforementioned Raymond Chandler. While BOOMTOWN is David's BEST work and a masterpiece of truly epic proportions, TRIAGE is his most underrated work, and ironically, David himself is in my opinion, the most underrated working musician in all of Los Angeles. Do yourself a favor, and pick up a copy of this album. Your ears and your mind will be forever thankful that you did. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews
