Free Music Review: An Old Favorite
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this cd haphazardly at Kim's Underground in NYC about 12 years ago at the recommendation of one of the employees, and it has been one of my all-time faves ever since. Chan's voice may not be the most attractive, but it and her music convey an unconventionally sad and beautiful melodic portrait with raw intensity in this melancholic, and oftentimes emotionally fueled album. My favorite tracks? Well, "Bathysphere" is an angrily obvious ode to adolescent angst and delivers with satisfying intensity; "King Rides By" is one of the most gorgeously humble and tragic love songs ever produced. I highly recommend this album if you dig that sort of thing.Free Music Review: Sublime
Hit: 5 Stars
I came back to this album after a long hiatus. It is wonderful and should be bought by anyone with an interest in alternative music. "Nude as the News" which is one of her all time greats is here, but it is just the tip of the iceberg. Listen to track 7 -- so simple and beautiful it makes me shiver and want to cry...."oh come and peep through a hole in the wall just to watch his heart undressing..."Free Music Review: Great Starter Album
Hit: 4 Stars
The best recommendation for any album is that you buy more albums from that artist. You should buy this album, looking for the right price. Your friends will think better of your music collection when they hear this.
The album moves along at pace. The voice is great. All tracks were good. Nothing from left field leaving you wondering why. You may possibly want a little more variety.
The last track "The Coat Is Always On" left me wanting to listen to the album again, possibly with headphones to hear the background.
There are twelve tracks, good album legnth making it value for your dollar. The only downside was there was no booklet.
Free Music Review: Not a huge fan of Cat power but love this album.
Hit: 5 Stars
Not a huge fan of cat power but a huge fan of this album. I feel like Cat power has raw moments in this album that are divine to herself. I love her cover of Smog's bathyspere. well said by whoever on allmusic.com "and Smog's "Bathysphere" show off Marshall's ability to make any song a Cat Power song." If you listen to Smog's bathysphere it is almost completely different. have to be in the right mood to listen to this. can be boring if not feeling like her. but can be intense if going through her music. Nude as the news is an amazing amazing song. and Steve Shelley's part in the last song reminds me of Sonic Youth and reminds me of his importance and uniqueness often not appreciated that he often doesn't recieve. I am dissapointed at Chan's new stuff and wish the rest of her stuff went here. not for me, like her new stuff is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with the corners cut off, but that is just me. Listen to this. I feel like she knew herself better here, even though she didn't seemingly have it all together....but i am not here to talk about that. converse me.Free Music Review: Better Songs Have Not Come By Often
Hit: 5 Stars
Chan Marshall has more talent and heart in her awkward pinky finger than most A-list music celebs have in the course of their entire careers. Gritty, emotionally charged, expressive, and with a light at the end of the dark and twisted tunnel...but somewhere up ahead. A guitar, a snare, a moog, and the truth. These are better songs than you will usually ever hear in the course of a lifetime.
Later albums by this artist may disappoint, but this one never will. It may, however, make you a little crazy with too much play.
