Free Music Notes for Apartment Life
Free Music Review: Perfect
Hit: 5 Stars
99 out of 100 people dont know who these people are, i'm glad i do. Get out of the city has the most casually catchy guitar riff i may have ever heard. There is a slight meloncholy that runs throughout the album, like a beauitful girl alone in her apartment looking out the window at the city below, thinking about life. I am taking a guess that's why they named it apartment life. To write 12 songs expressing 12 sides to a single topic, pretty cool.Free Music Review: good but not great
Hit: 3 Stars
This is breezy, over produced pop power/pop music. The singer has a unique voice which does make the songs sound interesting but it also casts a similar sound for all of the songs.
One thing this is not is an extention of "Fountains of Wayne".
This is a good cd with a lot of quality songs. Most of the tunes have an upbeat, happy vibe.
My favorite song is "Baker" since it is the most distinguishable song. It is slow tempo with a very beautiful horn riff that practically serves as the chorus. "Ba Ba Ba" is the hardest rocker and has almost a Car's feel to it. Very new wavish!
"The Best thing" "I've got a feeling" "This is the day" and "I get the message" are highlights.
This is a good work but cannot be considered a masterpiece. Every song is a 3 minute, wispy, breezy song with the French-accented lyrics.
When I first got it I did listeneto it a lot but I have not placed it into my cd player in a about 4-5 years.
When a greatest hits compilation comes out, it will be worth getting.
Free Music Review: These reviews have me puzzled...

I was a big fand of Schlesinger/Fountains of Wayne, so when this CD first came out (on Atlantic Records, at the time) I was really eager to hear this CD. Needless to say, I really found this monotoned loungish-pop record to be a total disappointment. I had difficulty even getting through the entire disc in one sitting! One word comes to mind: dull. Not recommended! Free Music Review: Remarkable music
Hit: 5 Stars
Absolutely remarkable album - one of the first I have heard in a long, long time that I loved from the very first listen (was inspired to purchase it after catching a brief snatch of 'Thinking of you" at the end of Shallow Hal). Each and every piece is a classic, amazing that IVY haven't received more airplay over here (Ireland)Free Music Review: pleasing sounds found here

What saddens me about being a fan of this type of pop music is that I live in the US and I'll never be able to hear any of my favorite bands on the radio. In fact the only time I've heard Ivy outside of my place and my car was while I was waiting for my girlfriend who was shopping at some boutique, (this did make me question my choice of music, but only for a fleeting second). In Apartment life, the sweet sound of Dominique's voice flows seamlessly over the wonderfully created pop songs with an air of indifference. Ivy ranks up there with Saint Etienne, and Belle and Sebastian as my favorite pop groups, and this CD is a good one to get if you're at all interested in their wonderful sound. Maybe one day the relentless teen pop that comes streaming towards me from the tv and the radio will one day ebb in a moment of bliss as people realize that there are other facets of pop music out there. Until then, I'll just bide my time and listen to my Ivy at home and in the car; and when it's played as I patiently wait in the boutiques, I'll smile and tap my shoe.
