│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ A while back I reviewed a ôliveö album that ║ │
│║ sounded like it was recorded in a pub in the ║ │
│║ middle of nowhere on a wet Tuesday, attended by ║ │
│║ one man and his dog. It was awful. If youÆre ║ │
│║ going to produce a live album there are rules. ║ │
│║ First, the sound has to be good, thereÆs no ║ │
│║ point if it isnÆt studio quality. Second, and ║ │
│║ this is vital, if you are recording an album in ║ │
│║ front of a live audience, the sound of that ║ │
│║ audience must make it onto the album. If you ║ │
│║ canÆt hear them cheering, clapping, singing ║ │
│║ along youÆd have been as well staying in the ║ │
│║ studio. After the disappointment of the ║ │
│║ aforementioned review, I was keeping everything ║ │
│║ crossed that Live With the Curse would reflect ║ │
│║ the electric atmosphere at GlasgowÆs Classic ║ │
│║ Grand on that night back in November. You see, I ║ │
│║ know the crowd was rocking that night, and I ║ │
│║ know the band sounded great, because I was ║ │
│║ there.s ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ So, I sat down today to listen to the album, ║ │
│║ hoping against hope that EdenÆs Curse had got it ║ │
│║ right. Man have they ever got it right. I defy ║ │
│║ anyone to listen to this without feeling like ║ │
│║ they were actually there. Mixed and mastered by ║ │
│║ Dennis Ward, who has worked with the band ║ │
│║ throughout their career, every bit of the live ║ │
│║ experience is included, from their onstage ║ │
│║ introduction by Tom Russell to the little chats ║ │
│║ with the crowd and the unholy racket the crowd ║ │
│║ made at every opportunity. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Tom Russell, Godfather of Rock is a legend in ║ │
│║ these parts, heÆs been presenting rock radio for ║ │
│║ longer than IÆve been alive (sorry Tom!) and ║ │
│║ having him announce you is quite an honour. From ║ │
│║ that point on this album is relentless. NikolaÆs ║ │
│║ vocal never misses a note, Thorsten plays guitar ║ │
│║ like a man possessed and Paul, John and Steve ║ │
│║ bring it all together into something pretty ║ │
│║ close to perfection. Nikola does a brilliant job ║ │
│║ of bringing the crowd into the show as well, ║ │
│║ introducing songs, explaining what theyÆre about ║ │
│║ and getting some crowd participation going. It ║ │
│║ all adds to the atmosphere, which as IÆve ║ │
│║ already said is crucial to a live album. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Highlights for me include opening track Symphony ║ │
│║ of Sin, which sets out the bands intentions from ║ │
│║ the very beginning. This gig, this album is ║ │
│║ going to break you. The pace and energy is non ║ │
│║ stop, as Nikola roars at the crowd and they roar ║ │
│║ back. Covering tracks from all four EdenÆs Curse ║ │
│║ albums the band powers through a set list which ║ │
│║ translates to a two disc album of over 100 ║ │
│║ minutes. ItÆs long, but it never drags, as the ║ │
│║ energy refuses to drop. Towards the end of disc ║ │
│║ one look out for an extended guitar solo from ║ │
│║ Thorsten. Now, I donÆt play guitar, but I know ║ │
│║ enough to know that this man is one of the best ║ │
│║ guitar players you will see. He rarely lifts his ║ │
│║ head, lost in the music but he plays as if he ║ │
│║ has two pairs of hands. One of my favourite ║ │
│║ things about EdenÆs Curse is the storytelling in ║ │
│║ each song, from Masquerade Ball to Rock Bottom. ║ │
│║ It means that the songs improve with each ║ │
│║ listen, as you move from listening to the tune ║ │
│║ to actually taking in the lyrics. I have to also ║ │
│║ mention my personal favourite EdenÆs Curse track ║ │
│║ Evil and Divine. I donÆt know why I love it, I ║ │
│║ just do. And thatÆs what itÆs all about. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ As final track Angels and Demons ends the crowd ║ │
│║ begin to chant, ôEdenÆs Curse, EdenÆs Curse, ║ │
│║ EdenÆs Curse,ö and I sit here straining my ears ║ │
│║ because if I just listen hard enough I might ║ │
│║ hear myself. I cheered them that night, and IÆll ║ │
│║ be cheering this album from the rooftops. ItÆs ║ │
│║ out on Friday, March 13th and I will personally ║ │
│║ Curse any of you who donÆt buy it! ║ │
