Rezension aus Deutschland vom 20. Juni 2013

...Cheap Trick so ein Album damals abgeliefert, hätten sich die Kritiker wohl überschlagen vor Begeisterung. Aber es war eben "nur" eine Ex-Teenieband mit einem neuen Sänger.

Rollers play Power-Pop

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 19. August 2010

Das zweifellos stärkste Rollers-Album. Irgendwo zwischen The Beatles und The Knack. Der neue Sänger Duncan Faure verfügte nicht nur über eine wahnsinnige Pop-Stimme, sondern bewies auch als Komponist seine Klasse. "Hello and welcome home", "I was eleven", "WhoŽll be my keeper" und der Single-Mini-Hit "Turn on the radio" (der ein wenig an RŽnŽR love letter erinnert) dürften als Anspieltipps untermauern, dass es sich hier um ein Power-Pop Meisterwerk handelt.

Meisterwerk mit spätem Ruhm

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 15. Oktober 2008

Elevator ist das erste Album der "Rollers", der Nachfolgeband der "Fahne-im-Wind" Teenie-Band "Bay City Rollers". Mit Eigenkompositionen versuchten die "Rollers", ihr Teenie-Image abzustreifen und sich als "reife" Musiker zu präsentieren, wie es bereits "Sweet" mit dem Album "Level Headed" gelungen war.

Aber der "Elevator" (dt. "Fahrstuhl") startete damals zu spät: Melodische Musik, basierend auf Gitarren und umrahmt von Synthesizer-Klängen war Ende der 70er Jahre überhört; neue Stile wie Disco, Punk und Wave waren angesagt.

Dabei ist "Elevator" ein fantastisches Album mit wundervollen Melodien, klasse Arrangements und der rockig-zarten Stimme des neuen Sängers Duncan Faure. Alle Songs sind Anspieltipps, dennoch drei Hervorhebungen: "Playing In A Rock And Roll Band" hat absolute Hit-Qualität, "Hello And Welcome Home" lässt die "Beatles" auferstehen, aber der wahrscheinlich allerbeste Song ist "Washington's Birthday" eine zeitlose große Rock-Ballade.

Jetzt ist "Elevator" endlich als CD erschienen: DIE Möglichkeit, ein ganz großes Rock-Pop Album der Musikgeschichte zu entdecken. Es lohnt sich!

Stoned Houses

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 5. Oktober 2009

Verifizierter Kauf

My parents accidentally purchased this for me for my 12th birthday. They were requested to buy "The Bay City Rollers Greatest Hits." After my initial disappointment, I put the record on and almost immediately fell in love with it. As the winter gave way to the spring of 1980, I became obsessed with this album, listening to it's tracks over and over and over. At the time I was only somewhat aware that this was the first "mature" offering of the former Bay City Rollers, once lead singer Les McKeown left the band for his ill-fated solo career.

Once I became a serious rock fan in high school, I revisited it again, somewhat surprised that it held up and that my 6th grade ears weren't totally clueless in their infatuation over these sounds.

Many more years later, the original LP long lost, I found another copy on Ebay for a few bucks, and eagerly placed it on my turntable once it arrived in the mail. Again, I was shocked by how well it stood the test of time. Or maybe I was shocked by what a bizarre record it is in the context of the history of pop music. It doesn't matter. I love this and it will always hold a place in my heart. I can tell you one thing. This record IS better than you think it is.

The "grown up" sound of The Rollers is very simple. It was 1979. Imagine Cheap Trick and The Beatles filtered through late-'70s Electric Light Orchestra and this would be the result. If George Martin would have produced "Dream Police" in 1979 instead of the following year's, "All Shook Down," this is very close to what would have probably been the final product.

Favorite tracks are the hard-rocking, "Elevator," complete with Kraftwerk/Bowie mannequin/android imagery crossed with sexual metaphors and the bizarre hard rock/new wave of "Stoned Houses #2," the catchy "Playing In a Rock and Roll Band," and "Turn on the Radio." I also love the heavy rockin' of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle despondency twofer, "Who'll Be My Keeper?" and "Back on the Road Again." The final track, "Washington's Birthday," makes no sense lyrically whatsoever but moves me with it's dark Beatles-esque melancholy.

The whole album is thematically united by confessions of crashing rock 'n' roll dreams. There are more drug references than in Nikki Sixx's, "The Heroin Diaries." The are multiple references to sex, mostly as mindless diversion. The are numerous references to the monotony and pointlessness of the daily workings of the music business.

Although this was to be the rebirth of the Bay City Rollers as adult rock musicians with a new lease on life, the lyrical content tells the story of a band who KNEW their time had already come and gone. The Rollers were, quite frankly, ready for the madness to be over since their rock 'n' roll lifestyle had morphed into something vastly different from the rock 'n' roll dreams of their youth.

Awesome stuff.

The Rollers Grow Up!

Rezension aus Kanada am 22. Juni 2017

Verifizierter Kauf

I've just received my CD of "The Rollers", Elevator. Back in the day, I had this on vinyl! I was a Bay City Roller fan as they were transitioning out of the Tartan outfits and bubblegum sound, into a 4 member group exploring more mature themes. I was actually living in the US at the time, and had seen them on "Midnight Special" while they were promoting "It's A Game" with former lead singer Les McKeown. As of 1979, Les was gone and they'd discovered a gem of a musician in South African born Duncan Faure (pronounced Four-uh). In my opinion, this was their turning point as songwriters and musicians. Elevator was a huge departure for the band! It was a darker record, where they'd explored classic rock 'n roll themes such as living in the fast lane, sexuality and drug use. I'm not sure how much they'd experienced themselves, or simply as observers from their time spent living in Hollywood, California. There is a wonderful mixture of driving rock themes ("Playing in a Rock and Roll Band') and lovely Beatle-esque ballads ("Hello and Welcome Home") as well as the radio friendly ("Turn on the Radio"). The only criticism I have is that they were trying a bit too hard to prove themselves. But then again, who can blame them after paying their dues as young guys working so hard for a 'dictator' of a manager only to end up with not much to show for it. This is a really great effort and I certainly wish they'd been given more credit for their abilities as musicians!!

Elevator lifts The Rollers to a new musical level.

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 19. September 2012

Verifizierter Kauf

Released in 1979 with new guitarist/vocalist Duncan Faure Elevator is arguably the Rollers finest musical acheivement! Along with the new blood Faure brings to the band, the music contains a new maturity and energy that was sorely lacking in previous albums like Strangers In The Wind. Peter Kerr's production is right on, bringing a new wave power pop feel to songs like Elevator, Hello And Welcome Home, Instant Relay and Turn On The Radio. Faure has an eerie Lennonesque quality to his voice which brings the songs to life in an explosive way and his songwriting chops are felt throughout the album. This CD is worth playing over and over again...loudly! I love playing this for friends who are blown away by the music then ask "Who is this band?" I say "The Rollers aka The Bay City Rollers" and watch their jaws drop in disbelief! Enjoy!

I have had the LP of this since it came out, but can't play it so I ordered the CD. I like the fact that the Rollers got a bit more hard edged with this album. I wasn't sure I would like Duncan when he joined, but I saw them in concert and he was really good. I like almost all of the songs on here. I'm not sure why so many people thought that the Rollers didn't play their own music, but having seen them twice, I can assure you they did. Good album.
