 Rating:  - Life Affirming!I own most of Mike Scott's and the Waterboys music, and am thankful that there is such a variety and diversity of his work to draw upon, to suit my different moods. Yes, I love the big music, and yes, I also love his more meditational songs from Universal Hall. But Room to Roam occupies the most special place in my heart. I played this album to death for about three years, when it was first released. It was the soundtrack to my life, and it even took me to Galway, swimming with dolphins off Dingle Peninsula! Sharon Shannon was a crucial addition to the Waterboys line up at this time, and her accordian provides some real joy to these lovely, spirited songs. Many of these tunes have now become standards for any Irish ... Read More: Rating:  - A 'Strange' OneRoom To Roam is just odd. Some songs are very jolly, but others leave you silent. 'In Search of a Rose' is the only song I've listened to yet, and the result is: it's ok. The album isn't bad infact it's quite good, just very strange. Buy it if you like celtic music! Rating: - Only the Brave SucceedFew records truly have a special place in your heart, but this is one. So much so that I went to Spiddal and drank at T'Hughes bar to try and get a feel of what happened during the recording of this wonderful record! Mike Scott's linking up with Steve Wickham, Colin Blakey, Sharon Shannon et all changed my musical views and to an extent tastes. Hear was a group of musicans enjoying playing together, you could hear it in every note, and s***ing the consequences, which were sell out tours to the USA. From the simple beauty of In Search of a Rose, A Man is in Love, How long will I Love You through Island Man, Something That is Gone to A Life of Sundays to all the 30 second interludes inbetween this is stamped classic. NO Its ... Read More: Rating: - The unsung king of Ireland says the same thing...One of the great joys of The Waterboys is that they've triumphantly defied pigeon-holing. With a recording career of nearly 20 years they've covered territory from prog rock to New Romanticism via pure, unashamed acoustic rootsy folk music. Where earlier Waterboys albums were full of "the Big Music" that could be grandiose at best, insufferably pompous at worst, "Room to Roam" is a collection of the short, the simple and the extremely quirky. Acoustic instrumentation, and songs that wouldn't be out of place in the local folk club, dominate, but hints of the trademark Mike Scott "big sound" are everywhere, from the epic "A Life of Sundays" to the infectious "Further Up, Further In" and the heartfelt tavern singalong of "Room to Roam". Gentler ... Read More: Rating: - Songs for the joy of living & lovingSo, the "music lover", from Wales finds nothing to reccommend in this album.... For many long-term Waterboys fans however, Room to Roam occupies a special place in our hearts. It's the album that introduced us to the fabulous Sharon Shannon. Trevor Hutchinsons majestic bass (now heard to great effect with Lunasa), Mike Scott's lyrics affectionate and playful (Islandman, Song from the End of the World), and the whole band playing with a zest and sparkle that makes you glad that you woke up again. By all means avoid if you only like your songwriters cynical, embittered, hateful and depressing. Otherwise, "come on in, the Water's lovely"! |
