Free Music Notes for Our Endless Numbered Days
Free Music Review: one of the best metal albums of all time!
Hit: 5 Stars
Did I say metal, I meant indie. well personally I like this album very much. Listening to this calms the nerves and makes one think they're not quite on the same planet. I suppose one's mood might also factor in to that as well, but anyway this is great stuff.Free Music Review: Hauntingly Uplifting
Hit: 5 Stars
The enigmatic Iron & Wine were recommended to me by a like-minded, holistically-oriented friend, and I now keep them in heavy rotation. Their music at once hypnotic, rejuvenating and energizing. It's easy to see why they have so many devotees. Take what you need each time you listen and savor the rest another time!Free Music Review: Antidote to Today's Pop Glitz
Hit: 5 Stars
I own "Our Endless Numbered Days," "Woman King," and "The Creek Drank the Cradle." "OEND" is definitely my favorite.
Beam's style is minimalist in every way - minimal allegorical lyrics, minimal production, minimal photos, minimal graphics in the CD/sleeve, etc. But in "OEND" less is way better.
Iron and Wine was one of my best discoveries of 2007. Its difficult to describe how the music and words fit so well. Lets be honest; for most of the songs, its really impossible to tell exactly what's going on! A good example would be the lyric "there will be teeth in the grass." from the fifth track, "Teeth in the Grass." If someone out there can tell me what that means, leave me a comment! Nevertheless, primitive, raw feelings are conveyed, and although usually somber and at times melancholy, it all sounds and feels so good.
How can anyone not be moved by "OEND's" tracks 2, 3, 9, and especially 8 and 10?
I'll probably purchase the newer CD with "Boy with a Coin," which is another great Iron and Wine song. [2/14/08 UPDATE: I have purchased "The Shepherd's Dog." With the remarkable exception of "Boy With a Coin," this CD was a disappointment. Its way over-produced, wanders all over the place, and on a few tracks, sounds apallingly "POP." For me, perhaps, the expectations created by OEND were just too high to match.]
In music, we have our virtuosos, and geniuses, i.e., the Van Halens and Mozarts, who are technically superior.
Then we have the people who write music to which we long to listen, like Iron and Wine.
Free Music Review: Awesome album
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not a music expert or critic, or into the sub-pop scene. I just know good music when I hear it, and this is it. I first got turned on to Iron and Wine after hearing the Garden State Soundtrack (an album/movie that had a profound impact on me). NAKED AS WE CAME is one of the most poignant (spelling?) songs I have ever heard. It is raw emotion turned into sound waves.Free Music Review: Prett much perfect
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not sure how anyone could give this less than four stars--I choose 5. This album is near perfect from the start, and well worth a listen. Soft songs, poignant lyrics, and great instrumentation make this a must-have for anyone who likes music that doesn't suck.
