In their fifth LP, Live moves on from melodic ballads to more hard-edged noisy sounds.
The album was recorded after returning from a road tour in October 2000. The first single, Simple Creed had Tricky to do the rap bits for them. Call Me A Fool is another cool ballad that is a signature of Live. It has traces of Beatles inspired tunes in that track.
The whole album is a mix of funk meets rapcore meets rock meets ballads. V isn't exactly an album that the fans are anticipating. Nevertheless, it's a fresh start. It's worth a listen.

Cake | Comfort Eagle
Cake's latest and fourth album, Comfort Eagle starts off with John McCrea's very unique and distinct vocals singing I'm An Opera Singer.
They retained their style of sound but have somehow lost the punch they had in Fashion Nugget. The whole album is a bit bland with the exception of a few tracks. I say you go and check out Short Skirt/Long Jacket and Love You Madly for the witty lines. Pretty Pink Ribbon and World Of Two has nice melodies to greet you.
Although the album might not be that impressive, it's quite worth the money if you were to get it.
What started out as a 'dormitory acoustic group' is now a successful band, which has stared stages with Sting and Matchbox 20 and has won millions of fans from all over the world.
Jars of Gem is their latest album, featuring hits from their first album right to the last one, If I Left The Zoo. As an added treat, this album comes with a second CD containing never before heard sessions by the Jars Of Clay.
