Free Music Notes for It's a Wonderful Life
Free Music Review: Genius
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a review for any of his records. He is one of best songwriters I have heard in the last two decades. Very underrated. Beautiful songs, amazing melodies and I dunno worrds fail me in describing how amazing and beautiful his albums are. He is the male equivalent to someone like Pj Harvey in regards to the sincerity and conviction in their music and even as people. I hope people catch on someday on this genius.
It's a Wonderful Life Poster
Like Neil Young on the finer moments of Tonight's the Night, Sparklehorse leader Mark Linkous nails the lonesome-man dirge to the wall on this third long-player. Along with his kindred contemporaries (and guest musicians) Mercury Rev and Grandaddy, Linkous makes little secret of his worship for the Neil Young vibe, and he takes it in a direction that Young has never fully realized. It's a Wonderful Life's sweet melodies sound as if they were recorded on corroded tape, with fragility inherent both lyrically and musically; yet this is the least psychotic, and most cohesive Sparklehorse album to date. Linkous and his mates also benefit from appearances by Tom Waits, Cardigans crooner Nina Persson, and the most effectively used guest of all, PJ Harvey, who bites hard on one of the CD's few static rockers, "Piano Fire." Other highlights include the almost-fit-for-radio "King of Nails," the piano ballad "Sea of Teeth," and the hidden bonus track (eight minutes into track 13), "Morning Hollow." Linkous moans on the title track, "I'm a bog of poison frogs / It's a wonderful life / It's a wonderful life." Get the feeling that this might not be for everybody? Thank God for that. --Chris Paul CarterAlternative Rock Music CDs
