Free Music Review: Minstrel Goth Folk? Top 10 Album 90s
Hit: 5 Stars
Not to belittle Jeremy Enigk's ongoing development as an artist, but this is an album he can forever be proud of. It is a perfect sublime unity, each part necessary and integrated in the whole. Songs like "Carnival" and "Shade and the Black Hat" especially stand out, but sound best with the album as a whole.
When I first heard this in 1996, it was uncategorizable (minstrel goth folk?). Listening in 2008, it's clearly proto-emo. Enigk's influence on that "new" pop genre should not be underestimated.
Although perhaps I am not a objective source. I was a Christian back then AND a fan of SDRE, and I remember Jeremy's brief conversion to the faith right about the time I was losing mine. This album epitomizes that time of wonder and confusion, of questioning base convictions and searching for meaning.
Everyone should own this album.
Return of the Frog Queen Poster
With the ambitious and fervent Return of the Frog Queen, the former Sunny Day Real Estate frontman plays everything from guitar and drums to harpsichord. Then he surrounds himself with a strings, woodwinds, and brass. Lyrically, he's elliptic; musically, he strays from the pretty pop to a kind of sober psychedelia. Ultimately, he clearly feels the need to make a grand statement. Of course, grandeur is often delusional, and big, as often as not, is merely bloated in its infancy. With this undeniably enchanting album, however, one can't help but wonder what's next for Enigk. And that in itself is impressive. He's upped the ante enough that we can anxiously anticipate his failures as well as his achievements. --Steven StolderAlternative Rock Music CDs
