Free Music Review: Theropy
Hit: 5 Stars

I was first introduced to this group by the brilliant final scene in the movie, "Vanilla Sky," where the main character makes the decision to "jump" back into the real imperfect world from his taintedly-perfectly-fake-dreamworld he had been living in, and track 4 (my favorite) plays as it shows seemingly-misc flashbacks from humanity's past as he bails downwards off of a skyscraper heading like a missle for the concrete below, hell every time I see that scene I break down in tears. But that's what this album is, tear-therapy, if you want to examine the emotions within you beneath the surface and feel that you need a good cry, put on this cd. I might venture so far as to say it's especially therapuetic for survivors of abuse or those with PTSD, people deciding to or having already quit the government's drugs, and that sort of ilk out there.
Hopefully my review puts it in perspective as to why nowhere near everyone will cherish this kind of music. I'm a musician who has mastered the art for over a decade now but I've learned musicianship isn't about playing lightning-fast scales blazing up & down the keyboard or frets, that has it's place and all and I can do it but let's be honest, it's show-offmanship mainly used to dazzle audiences without much lingering affect in their souls. I've learned that music is more about what it can bring out in YOU the listner, and this cd will take you places within yourself in a real way. Thanks to this cd and some others I've found recently, psychotherapy is no longer necessary: "And how does that make you feeeeel?" It makes me feel like I need to put on some Sigur Ros and Sevin, doc, now please excuse me whilst from whenceto-heretoforth I find my headphones and take a nature walk far from your planet :)

( ) Poster

Are Iceland's Sigur R?s the saviors of 21st-century rock or true heirs to the silk-robed-and-platform-booted, pompous progressive rock of the '70s? On their third album (first for a major label), they are a little bit of both. The group continues to mix the most interesting aspects of U2 (the anthem), Low (the maximalist slow-mo thing), Radiohead (the utter lack of irony in the quest to make meaningful art for stadium crowds), and My Bloody Valentine (guitar as texture), while not sounding like anyone else on this planet. The average song length on the eight untitled tracks is eight minutes, with cascades of moaning, bowed guitars colliding with low-end keyboards while the lovely, alien-registered vocals of singer J?nsi float on top. Dynamics are employed spectacularly, but half of the album is spooky soundtrack music that never really goes anywhere. However, the actual songs on Two Sausages Kissing (or whatever you want to call it)--the third, sixth, eighth, and especially fourth tracks--are mind-blowers, spectacularly worth the price of admission. If they just stopped trying to reinvent the wheel all the time, Sigur R?s could really be a band for the ages. --Mike McGonigal
