Free Music Notes for Distortion Album
Free Music Review: I Love It!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I don't disagree with the other reviews. I'll add though that I think the album is beautifully realized,
if certainly a departure in 'tone' and sound for MF. I thought 'I' (despite some fine moments) was at times too precious and pessimistic without sufficient thematic or sound variation, or enough leavening humor and irony. I think 'Distortion' though has great balance. I hope long term fans can get beyond-- or even embrace-- the loud sound feedback effects and weigh the album on its own merits. It does evoke Jesus and Mary Chain, but isn't slavishly imitative either. The clever/complex way it's put together and holds together even recalls for me Nilsson's best '60's work like "Nilsson Sings Newman," if not of course sounding the same. Some of lyrics (not unusual for Merritt of course) evoke as much Sondheim or Brecht/Weill as contemporary power pop. This album, like all his best stuff I think, is as much about the form of pop music as the content: he's one of the very best at deconstructing and reconstructing those forms. Early yet-- but I think this may rank just below '69 Love Songs' in my estimation, which means it's great!! I'm loving this more with each listen.
