Free Music Review: It rocks
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great addition to Sparklehorse's work. It is more upbeat and engaging then It's a Wonderful Life... which is my favoritre SH album. It's a great album to drive around and rock out too. "Don't take my sunshine" has some great drive to it, as does "Shade and Honey" and "Mountains". But the most stellar song is, in my opinion, "Knives of summertime"... very brillant. If you like "Good Morning Spider" you are going to love "Dreamt for lightyears"... it's fantastic.
My only gripe? "Morning Hallow" is a fantastic and brillant song but a hardcore SH fan will realize that it is actually the hidden track on "It's a Wonderful Life". I love hidden tracks but I always wished that Mark had just made that song the last song instead of making you wait a couple minutes to hear it (and since I use I-tunes, their was no surprise that they album had a hidden song). But now that my wish came true in a sense and he used this song as a seperate piece, I see that I was wrong. On "Lightyears" it just doesn't fit well with the album. The song doesn't have the same effect as it did on "Wonderful life" because their, it was PERFECT capstone to the whole album but here it seemed like it was added in for the sake of being added in. Needless to say, I actually remove this song from my itunes and place it in a seperate folder on my Ipod.
But other then that, this is a must have album.
Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain Poster
Battling his own personal demons while he has been highly coveted as a producer for other bands, singer/songwriter Mark Linkous' output with his own Sparklehorse has been as irregular as it is ingenious. And it's been five years since the candid album It's a Wonderful Life welcomed a clean-and-sober, Linkous crafting the same divine and bizarre songs that have come to define his North Carolina-based band. That inclination continues here with the peculiar front man punctuating his songs with mentions of ghosts and knives and mountaintops, and presenting them with a murmured, spaced-out and psychedelic soundtrack. The up-tempo, bundle-of-nerves pop songs "It's Not So Hard" and Guided by Voices twin "Ghost in the Sky," though luscious, seem out of place among slow and startling ballads like "Getting It Wrong," "See the Light" or, especially, the imminent kiss-off "Some Sweet Day," where Linkous grouses, "I was the one who loved you most/ But you can't put your arms around a ghost." A parting shot that's meant to linger—much like the 53 minutes that are Mark Linkous' latest comeback. --Scott HolterAlternative Rock Music CDs
