Free Music Notes for It's My Life

Free Music Review: A Brilliant Pop Album -- True Original
Hit: 5 Stars

The Insanely Great Songs songs are Renee, Such a Shame, It's My Life, Tomorrow Started.

The good songs are The Last Time, It's You, Does Caroline Know?

The rest of the songs are still listenable and sometimes enjoyable, but I'll skip them as often as not.

Things to love about the good songs on this album: the slurred, moody vocals, the lyrical fretless bass playing (the bass becomes an instrument you want to listen to--not just a supporting one), nice synth sounds, strong arrangements. Very emotional pop, distinctive and personal. No one else could have created these songs since they have personality to spare--not formless and bland like a lot of corporate pop/rock that is only trying to sell records or be the flavor of the moment.

You could probably pick up a few of these songs on the greatest hits album, but you may not get all of them by only getting it.

Looking at the liner notes and pictures I'm struck by how young the band looks on this album. I would guess that some weren't much more than 18 from the pictures (they have the baby face look). The kind of songs they put out show much more musical maturity and sensitivity than most people of that age. Yes, this is pop--but is showcases the kinds of original (yet accessible and listenable) things that can be put into a pop framework.
