Free Music Notes for Return to Cookie Mountain (with Bonus Tracks)
Free Music Review: Not my favorite TVOTR album for the following reasons....
Hit: 2 Stars
I was recently turned onto TV on the Radio and decided to order several of their albums to see what they were all about. So far this has been my least favorite. TVOTR is in concept an interesting possibility. Blending blues, indie rock, electronic (samples, loops, etc.), and experimental they have the potential for interesting music. This album however, for me (as I know many people might enjoy these things that I don't), this album falls short in all of the different genres and styles drawn upon to create their sound. That is, the blues has no soul, the rock isn't that rocking, and experimental stuff isn't interesting, and the so on. All in all it's the songs that should be great, not the styles combined. And this is also where the album falls short. The songs, while combining all these styles in an already mediocre fashion, also seem like drawn out jam sessions with few memorable moments. Dissonant melodies -- of which many are found here -- aren't enough to make music interesting, and instead make for a difficult listen and songs that are hard to follow and digest. Again, if you're into music that sounds "different" and sort of jams onward without much direction then this may be your thing. I do like their album "Dear Science" however, and recommend that...
Return to Cookie Mountain (with Bonus Tracks) Poster
Their second album and first for Interscope is almost wholly brilliant. Like Mogwai, Sigur Ros and a dozen others, TVOTR excels at making slowly-evolving tunes with vaguely anthemic choruses and lots of loud-soft dynamics. Unlike virtually any of those other bands, TV on the Radio mix a genuine and actual songwriting ability with their knack for finding sounds that appear to be "new." This record is crisper-sounding and incorporates more dance-based elements, but it's essentially a pop album. While the lack of the free web-released "Dry Drunk Emperor, a tribute to President Bush, is initially a bummer, the album percolates with enough pre-apocalyptic tension to satisfy anyone. In a Prince-pitched falsetto, the group sings "I was a lover/ Before this war," While throughout, the combination of melody and invention is always pitch-perfect (well, except on "Province" and "Let the Devil In," those songs sort of suck.) People of Earth: please make this band into total superstars and buy several copies of their album: one for the car, another for the office, etc. What we really need in our popular music is more weirdness, and more truth. --Mike McGonigalAlternative Rock Music CDs
