_______ Michael Stanley - Shadowland 2010 ItsAboutMusic

• "Shadowland": Возможно вас это удивит, но именно последнее перед выпуском этого альбома десятилетие (2000-2009) стало самой плодовитой декадой в карьере Майкла Стэнли. Именно таким его сделал выпуск "Shadowland", последовавший за Рождеством, и Стэнли, вероятно, припас самое лучшее для этого издания. Альбом словно вырвался на волю из ворот с лозунгом первого трека "It's All About Tonight", наполненным темпом рокера, который уже сам живой классик. Третий куплет этой открывающей вещицы начинается со строки «Вот я снова на сцене... и можно подумать, что я знаю больше, чем обычно человек моего возраста". Давайте все согласимся с тем, что мы рады, что Майкл этого не делает.
• Баллада "I Am You" вдохновлена принципом "мы все в этом вместе", а "My Brand New Day" выглядит как именно та романтическая лирика, какую вы могли пожелать.
• Уникальный аспект альбома - возвращение Стэнли к сочинению, не побоимся этого слова, "синглов" (помните о таких?) "When she falls", "I'm not finished loving you", "Maybe" и "Elegant mess" - все продолжительностью менее 4 минут, зрелые "поп" песни, которые были бы хороши на радио, если бы была нормальная радиостанция для их ротации.
• А теперь Стэнли снова влез в свои "узкие джинсы" и продолжил свою прежнюю работу. Альбом завершается мелодичной "Nice While it Lasted" - песней, на самом деле написанной 22 года назад, сразу после кончины MSB. Она звучит так, как буд-то слушаешь последние треки альбома "Inside moves", но вполне возможно, что песня была написана вчера. Песня может напомнить многолетним поклонникам Майкла тему, впервые представленную в "Midwest Midnight" - юноша мечтает играть в группе, но вскоре оказывается разочарован реалиями музыкального "бизнеса". "Но это было хорошо, пока оно продолжалось. И всё труднее найти кого-то; того, кто бы поверил... . и это было хорошо, пока оно продолжалось. Он может попробовать, но он не сможет забыть это, потому что у него фонографическая память"... ну, и т.д.

• Shadowland: Would it surprise you to read that this past decade (2000 -2009) was the most prolific decade in Michael Stanley's career ? Shadowland's release right after Christmas made it so, and Stanley just might have saved the best for last. The Album slams out of the gate with 'It's all about tonight", an up tempo rocker that is already a live classic. The third verse starts with the line "Here I am again up on the stage...you'd think I'd know better, a man my age". Let's all agree we're glad he doesn't.
"I am you" is an inspiring "we're all in this together" ballad, and "my brand new day" is as romantic a lyric as you could ask for.
A Unique aspect of this album is Stanley's return to writing, dare we say it, "singles" (remember those?) "When she falls", "I'm not finished loving you", "Maybe", and "Elegant mess" are all sub 4 minute, mature "pop" songs that would be great on radio, if there was a great radio station to play them.
With "skinny jeans", Stanley again references his previous work. "Then I saw her
standing there, through the smoke and through the haze....a living breathing memory, that's never gone away". A dialog about the past ensues, then she asks him to "play that one about those 'highway lines' it always takes me back to better times."
The album finishes with a tune called "Nice while it lasted", a song actually written more than 22 years ago, right after the demise of MSB. It does sound like it would have been at home at the end of the "Inside moves' album, or it could have been written yesterday.
The song might remind long time fans of the themes first presented in "Midwest Midnight, a young guy dreaming of being in a band, and the disillusionment of discovering the realities of the music "business"
"But it was nice while it lasted. it's getting kinda hard to find someone, someone to believe....and it was nice while it lasted. He can try but he can't forget it, 'cause he's got a phonographic memory"........don't we all.
