Radio personality reviews ROTT in blog

Bob sends the news:
WZZO/Allentown radio personality Bob Stei reviews the album track by track in his blog.

Excerpt:

So, I find out if I go to Amazon and pre-order Ringleader Of The Tormentors, I can listen to the whole album on line for free until my CD comes! The whole album- no waiting until April 4th.. So, I caved! Well... Will this be another You Are The Quarry, Kill Uncle or Vauxhall? Or, will it be forgotten and be rarely visited like Southpaw Grammar and Maladjusted?

After my first listen, I wasn't sure what to make of it! This was a less "hit" friendly disc like Quarry and Your Arsenal. However, a second and third (now fourth) listen has left me a lot more satisfied. Out of all of Moz's solo work, this sounds the closest to a Smiths album, and more like a 60's Classic Rock experimental piece, which hits more than it misses! It's produced rather well, and it's fun!

  • Astounding. I can not even begin to understand the people who are saying that this album is a grower. Admittedly, it starts off weak with Dear God Please Help Me as the only showstopper, but from In The Future When All's Well onward the album is relentless. It demands to be listened to. I almost smacked a co-worker hovering over my desk. The vocal work is extraordinary, and the backing music is actually interesting (something even I rarely say about a Moz record). This album is far more interesting than YATQ or Vauxhaul even Your Arsenal. All good albums in their own right, but this, THIS, is remarkable.
