Free Music Notes for On Your Side
Free Music Review: fantastic electonicana
Hit: 5 Stars
I can't believe that it actually took me until 2007 to discover this album. What a wonderful album to find. Reminds me of Badly Drawn Boy and Elliot Smith in contemporary emo-folk fashion but he does it all his own way and it fits beautifully. I am listening to this album constantly right now and it is sure to move into my "Top 25 of all time" albums. Free Music Review: Worth a Second Listen
Hit: 5 Stars
Great Album. I had heard a few songs off the album a few months ago, and forgot about it. After seeing it on this site, i decided to just buy the album and hope the rest of the tracks were as good as the few i had heard. It paid off. Great album to chill to and fall asleep with.Free Music Review: Excellent

It took some time for this CD to grow on me but now it's one of my top five all-time favorites. The stand-out tracks include Where Happiness Lives, The Day We Left Town, Lay Lady Lay, and Wish Me Well, though the entire CD has an extremely pleasing sound. Solid songwriting, good lyrics, and an interesting use of different sounds make this a stand-out CD well worth purchasing.Free Music Review: Don't buy just for Lay Lady Lay
Hit: 3 Stars
So I'm sure most are considering this album because of the fantastic song "Lay Lady Lay." The truth is, this song is very atypical of the rest of Magnet's work in "On Your Side." It's much more of a newer Radiohead meets Coldplay type sound that is very mellow and somewhat experimental in their sound uses. I definitely do not regret purchasing the album, however, I'd recommend listening to the other tracks before jumping in. Some songs, such as "The Day We Left Town" are absolutely beautiful, and "My Darling Curse" interestingly samples the drum beat exactly from Brubeck's "Take Five" (not sure if this is intentional or not). By the by, it's a pretty good album and will definitely grow on you - it took some time to grow on me. So, if you're contemplating the album simply for Lay Lady Lay, buy the single on iTunes, but if you're looking for a mellow/jazzy/ambient album, you'll like the rest of what Magnet has to offer.Free Music Review: This is a 10 Star album

This album is pure genius! Only an insane person would tell you any differently. Not many discs will captivate and move you like Johansen's work will. It's proper to say that Even is one of the most remarkable musicians of his time, and when you get this album it will BLOW YOU AWAY! In fact, the title of this disc should be named, "Money back guarantee," because you are guaranteed to love it. If not named, "Money back guarantee," it should be titled, "Forget all the other CDs in your collection for a few months." Either title would suffice. Once you pop this CD in your player, if you remove it before a month's time, I'd be totally shocked how you'd want to listen to anything else!
