Free Music Review: Totally Unique Experience!
Hit: 5 Stars
Like many people, I heard "Lovefool" and instantly bought this CD. Unfortunately, my love of the song wore out and I stored it on the highest shelf... Eventually, I looked at the CD again, and listened to my once-beloved song. But after the track ended, I listened on. At first, "Loser" (the following song) seemed freakish and just plain bad, but I soon got used to the strange transition and enjoyed the song. "Iron Man" was a bit stranger, but still mysteriously addictive. Then came "Great Divide" arguably the best song in the album. It is wonderful and deeply touching. I even cried! Not to steer too much off the subject but the song reminded me so much of [the book] Girl Interrupted that it was eerie... Anyways, just as you are about to sob forever, the track stops and the more up-beat "Choke" starts. I have to apploud the band for making this the follow-up, as it is totally appropriate (you have to listen to it to understand!). Quickly, I returned to the start and heard "Your New Cuckoo" that, again, begins strangely but is really one of my favorites! Then, the exasperated "Been It". "Heartbreaker" is considerably lighter (the tone, not the song) but is surprisingly and dark. Another wonderful is "Happy meal II" which starts as funeral music (you know, organs, etc.) but transfers to a bleaker-mix. It is very interesting though, because of (maybe it's just me) the different beats throughout the song. It seems as she's preparing for the date, the music is more bored while as she's recounting her relationship the song becomes a tad happier. Anyways, the depressed tone ends as the fast-paced "Never Recover" begins. I'm sorry for this cliche but it feels like your on a rollercoaster or perhaps a highway as the song un-ravels. Next is "Step On Me" a fair song, with beautiful singing and a nice tune. after listening to all these I seriously put "Lovefool" at the bottom of the list as it is much glossier than the rest and not at all as good overall. Anyways, all these songs are delivered beautifully by lead-singer Nina Persson and magnificantly played by the rest of the group (Peter Svensson, Bengt Lagerberg, Magnus Sveningsson, and Lars-Olof Johansson, all Swedish). I have heard this CD is a bit different from their former works, which I have unfortunately not heard yet... This is perhaps the best CD ever concieved and I highly recomend you buy it as soon as possible! It is totally unique and different from the rest of the stuff out there! Also, pay close attention to the lyrics, which are a lot more like poetry! Thank you for reading this rather lengthy review and I hoped you enjoyed it!
