Free Music Notes for Saturdays=Youth
Free Music Review: Beautiful and catchy
Hit: 4 Stars
I bought this after hearing "Graveyard Girl", a very catchy 80's-esque song. There are one or two other catchy tunes, with hooks that stay in your head for hours. Most of the rest is more more airy, ethereal kinds of songs. Just lovely, I've been playing it over and over.Free Music Review: Actually Very Decent
Hit: 4 Stars
Saturdays=Youth is actually very decent for play during web surfing. Very appropriate for chilling out, calming, soothing. Happy to have "discovered" this one by association. I refuse to part with mine.Free Music Review: a taste of a decade that never was...
Hit: 3 Stars
To be honest, this album was my first exposure to M83, specifically "skin of the night". After hearing this gorgeous, refreshing tune I had to check this band out. Did the rest of the album live up to it's potential? Well, sorta. The second half kinda drags but I LOVE the first 7 or so songs. They have a strangely satisfying neo-eighties vibe, and I hear the influence of artists like Tears For Fears, The Cure, Depeche Mode, just about anything from the era that wasn't hair metal. But there's also a modern feel that permeates throughout so I guess you could best describe this album as the sound of a lost decade that happened between the eighties and nineties. The weird "breakfast club meets fashion show" photography says more about "Saturdays=Youth" than words ever could. If only the last few tunes were as magical as the rest...Free Music Review: Like roasting a marshmallow
Hit: 3 Stars
This album is like roasting a marshmallow. Some tracks(We Own the Sky, Kim & Jesse) are a perfect golden brown and delicious. Others(You, Appearing; Couleurs) are a little burnt, but still good. Thens there's the tracks(Midnight Souls Still Remain, Skin of the Night) you never get to enjoy because it rains and your camp fire goes out before you have a chance to roast your tasty treat. A little less atmosphere in some tracks would have been nice. I don't want 4 1/2 minutes of electro-lush before the song starts. But, overall, a very decent record.Free Music Review: voice overs? they almost had me...
Hit: 3 Stars
ok, ok, so this new wave ish is catchy. but just as they were grabbing my attention with the likes of, say, a track like "graveyard girl" (which sounds unmistakably similar to the bands who actually pioneered this sound -- new order, the smiths, etc.) -- BAM, there's a girl giving a dramatic monologue in the middle of the track! how tacky and pretentious! that's enough for me to write an entire album off.
