    Doesn't reach the highs of "Horses" but overall it's way more consistent ...
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 November 2021*

I have long had an on/off relationship with Patti Smith's "Horses" album, some days I like it and others, well let's just say I struggle to get my head around it; and that's where [and why] my Patti Smith collection had started and finished until I recently bought "Easter" out of the blue on one of my more positive days towards "Horses"."Easter" from 1978 was Smith's third album following the aforementioned "Horses" which had been critically lauded on its release and its successor, the less than critically lauded  "Radio Ethiopia".  So where on the "Horses" to "Radio Ethiopia" scale does "Easter" sit?"Easter" opens with the rocker "Till Victory", a complex number of varying tempos that these days sounds very late-'70s, but it's a good way to start.  Like many of the tracks here I have no idea what second track "Space Monkey" with its Bowie/Ronson glam sound is about [perhaps I don't want to know], it is though in my opinion both the weakest and the artiest here.  The Smith-Springsteen composition "Because the Night" that follows is of course the reason why the "Easter" album sold so well, it's more pop than rock but is still a cracking song.  "Ghost Dance" has traces of native American in its beat and is an interesting genre defying number, I like it but I'm not really sure it works well in this company.  "Babelogue" is a live piece of nasty angry ranting poetry that doesn't work for me, fortunately it only lasts 90 seconds, but for me that's 90 seconds too long.  And then "Rock N Roll N*****" that closed the original side is the kind of American style, CBGB's style, heads-down-meet-you-at-the-end style of angry punk that the Patti Smith Group could do so well when they weren't being arty, it's great but it's inclusion of the N-word means you'll never hear it in polite company these days and can hardly blast it from the car stereo as befits a song of this quality."Privilege (Set Me Free)" that opened side two is a mix of mid-tempo angry rock with Smith reciting the words of Psalm 23 over the instrumental parts, OK it's arty but it's still a highlight.  Smith then pleads her case for being recognised as more than just a poet-rocker with the torch ballad "We Three", it's surprisingly tender and Smith's voice carries it well.  "25th Floor" is another crunchy solid mid-tempo guitar-led rocker that segues into "High on Rebellion" with Smith's spoken word polemic over the outro of the former continuing across the two and a half minute thrash of the latter, now this what I want from a rock-poet, this is Smith channelling Morrison.  While the last and title track "Easter" is ponderous it's also strangely moving and I like it, I have no idea what Smith is singing about but assume it's full of religious mysticism as befits the title.My release then includes the six minute bonus track "Godspeed" that picks up where "Easter" left, more ponderous poetic mysticism, but this time I suspect drugs.And that's it.  "Easter" doesn't reach the highs of "Horses" but neither does it reach the lows, the second side is stronger than the first but overall it's way more consistent and that's why it's more likely to be played in our house and why it's four stars nudging five from me.

    Easter :  Patti's  Resurrection
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 August 2018*

On 23  Jan  1977  Patti  Smith  almost  died  on  stage.  Her  Group  were  playing  Aint It  Strange  +  had  reached  the  middle  part  of  the  song  where  Patti  challenges  the  existence  of  God,  invites  Him  to make  a  move  ,  show  her  a  sign  He  exists.  As  the  band  played  harder  +  harder  Patti  spun  round  faster  +  faster.  Then tripped  over  an  onstage  sound  monitor  + fell  off  the  stage - a  drop  of  14  feet....struck  down  as it  were  by  the  Hand  of  God.The  band  thought  she  was  dead.  She'd  broken  her  neck  +  for  a  time  suffered  a  slight  paralysis  but  fortunately  went  on  to  make  a  full  recovery."Easter  remained  the  only  Patti  Smith  album  cover  that  is  in full colour  until  the  release  of  Twelve.  The  album  is  a  Resurrection  ,  a  time  of  sorrow  +  joy ,  so  what  better  than  a  sleeve  shot  that  combines  earthy  browns  (  the  soil  of  the  grave  )  +  soft  flesh  pinks  (  resurrection  +  life  )  .The  pose  she  strikes  is  defiant  ,  assertive  +  above  all  strong.  Gone  is  the  vulnerable  air  of  the  previous  album.  The  new  resurrected  Patti  is  pouting  ,  eyes  cast  down  ,  a  mass  of  dark  hair  ,  eyebrows  +  eyelashes.The  most  notorious  part  of  the  cover  shot  is  the  visible  armpit  hair. It  was  a  typically  intelligent  way  to  subvert  the  tradition  of  the  female  rock  singers  image.  Patti  appears  to  be  bowing  to  the  marketing  clichés  by  revealing  a  stretch  of  inviting  flesh  but  then  the  parody  of  the  image  becomes  clear.  The  armpit  hair  reclaims  the  right  for  a  female  singer  to  appear  in  a  pose  that  is  sexual  ,  erotic  +  powerful  without  compromising  or  debasing  female  dignity. Patti  re-wrote  the  music  industry  rules  yet  again.And  then  there  was  that  Voice :  rich  ,  rasping  ,  simultaneously  old  +  young  ,  a  banshee  wail  ,  a  whisper  ,  fragile  ,  assured  ,  sensuous  ,  confrontational  ,  sexual  ,  defiant  ,  other-worldly  , deep  ,  resonant  ,  soulful  ,  timeless ,  passionate  ,  spooky +  beautiful "Nick  Johnstone  (  1997 /2012  )
