Free Music Notes for Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge
Free Music Review: Such a wonderful style
Hit: 5 Stars
Heard "Secret" on some chickish CW show that was on in the background while I was studying, it was so amazing I had to write down the lyrics and look it up, finally bought it off Amazon, and I have to say I absolutely love this CD.
There is a style here that is so unique I just love it. My favourites are "Secret," "Sticks and Stones," and "Kill Kill Kill." I'll be studying and suddenly realize I'm swaying with the music, or chanting out a chorus and look up at the playlist, and it will be one of these three. "Secret" is this sort of waltzy haunting tune with a delightfully macabre quality. "Sticks and Stones" has a similar haunting quality to it, it's witchy little tune, I adore the lyrics, the vocals, the bass, the bell things. And I just can't help sing along to "Kill Kill Kill" it's a poppish happy song with some dark undertones, the lyrics are sort of obsessive and desperate, it's a different take on love, it sort of flirts with insanity.
Second favourites are "Boring," "Turn on Billie," "Lights on," and "Lies" These are all great songs too. "Boring" reminds me of a James Bond intro. "Turn on Billie" is a really great song, and I love it, but just not as much as the top 3, but it still gets me going.
Third favourites are "The Power of," and "Go to Heaven" Go to Heaven is actually really good, but not the kind of music I get into, but still good enough that I enjoy when it comes on.
Three Wishes really isn't my style of music, but the lyrics kind of sucked me in, so I like it too.
"Ruin" and "It Was You" don't really stand out in my mind, they're sort of "meh" not bad, but not special either. At least not to me, I wouldn't be able to pick them out of a lineup.
"Boy in a Rock and Roll Band" I am ambivalent about. I think I would like it more if I didn't understand the lyrics. I love the sugary style of the music, but the lyrics just irritate me.
All in all I gave it 5 stars, it might deserve 4.5 instead, but the style of music is very unique and beautiful, I absolutely love this. I tried to find similar music on [...], and noone else on the playlist could compare. (One of their older albums popped up on it too, and nothing I heard on it was as good as this album).
So yeah, this is worth the buy, definitely, I hope their next album is as wonderful as this one. (Are they touring? I'd love to see them live)
Free Music Review: Boring?
Hit: 5 Stars
This is easily the best album of 2007. These chics are hot, but I sure as heck wouldn't want to date them for fear of waking up with missing appendages! Rarely do I cheer so loud at the thought of a couple of gorgeous psychopaths tearing me apart. I absolutely love this ablum, it terrifies me, and at the end, I want to marry both of them, poligamy laws and fear for my life aside. I think that is exactly what they intended. This album is ANYTHING but boring. I cannot wait until their next batch of terrifying tales. I give it 6 stars, but unfortunately, it stops at 5. Free Music Review: Not bad
Hit: 3 Stars
I like this album more than I thought I would from reading all the other reviews. It has a solid 7-9 songs out of 13, which is quite impressive of any album. I like their voices, and they can be funky. Free Music Review: Quirky and fun
Hit: 5 Stars
Here's another group that I was introduced to through Gossip Girl. The sister's voices are beautiful, the music fun, and the lyrics quirky. These songs get stuck in my head all day- and that's a good thing with this cd.Free Music Review: Good - but not all like secret...
Hit: 4 Stars
I LOVE secret - and hoped for the rest to be a bit more weird and creepy!! The rest is good, but not exactly the same style as secret is.
