However, Andrew Horowitz shows a keyboard that lacked on the previous album that kind of got me by surprise. I kind of like it, but I enjoyed Tally Hall for their creepiness, mixed with their magic, their creativity and their enthusiasm. However, comparing, again, to most songs on MMMM, we have to say this one falls kind of short. The lyrics are clever, question the reckless curiosity mankind has, and that in simpler times everything was easier. And since we’re going from Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum, second best album ever, comparisons will be inevitable.ġ st track: “Never Meant to Know” – Well, obviously, it lacks enthusiasm, as Good Day was the master intro track, this one is a little bit milder. Well, let’s get this over with: Good & Evil by Tally Hall. The band is underground and sales are mostly domestic, so I guess it didn’t even get bronze album. Strangely, I couldn’t find any reviews on it, so I guess I’ll be the first one to do so. The longest song on the album the last one, Fate of the Stars, with 6:50, and the shortest tune is A Lady, with 1:05, and the entire album runs 48:50. The cover art is almost as good as their previous album (seriously, I loved that cover) even though it’s simple, with white and black triangles intercalating the words Tally and Hall, which the duality of white with black, light and dark being almost a theme on the album. The formation stood the taste of time, remaining the same five ties of before: Yellow Tie Rob Cantor keeps the vocals and guitar, Blue Tie Zubin Sedghi keeps some vocals and the bass, Grey Tie Ross Federman drums, Joe Hawley sings some and leads the guitar and, finally, Andrew Horowitz sings and plays the keyboards. But we’re not talking politics, we are talking music on this one. Since they aren’t that well known, most of the steps that were taken aren’t well documented: there is a mist of mystery on top of things, like why this album was released by their independent label instead of the label they just made a contract with. So many years later, they decided to release Good & Evil this year. The way they mixed whimsical with creepy, things that could’ve come out of an insane mind take place, with your mix of ballads, memorable songs and even cutesy songs, including one to an unborn baby and you can’t get any cuter than that.īut that was back in 2005 (and later re-released on 2008). I became maniac about this band, waiting for any release. At first, I didn’t pay much attention, but as I listened to it, it became my second favorite album, even getting an album in depth. One year ago, I found this little band (while playing in the sand) called Tally Hall. I’m a rocker by birth and grew listening to rock discs and long plays by the dozen. But there's no telling what I'm gonna want in the future.Īnyway I'm sure they have a lot to talk about.Hi, I’m JotaKa. Then again I could probably get away with it because Tally Hall disbanded 5 years ago.Įventually I just settled with having him visit my dimension and encountering what is essentially his inter-dimensional duplicate. Either way this kid is adorable enough to be a national treasure and I want to steal him, but I assume he's copyright. I still don't know why this is, but I'm guessing it has to do with the Darksack paradox /jou…. Then I felt confused because I make Andrew put up with all that shit on a weekly basis. Watching this, I felt really bad for the kid. how about you just watch it yourself and see why I especially would make such a big deal out of it Kinda reminds you of someone, doesn't it? The first one I saw was a music video called "Turn the Lights Off", and well. So there's this band out there called "Tally Hall" and they're not around anymore but hot DAMN did they make some good stuff.
