Free Music Notes for Women as Lovers
Free Music Review: Pretty dreadful
Hit: 1 Stars
This album is a showcase of all the things that I hate about Xiu Xiu, and none of the things that I love about them. It's noisy just for the heck of it, almost completely non-melodic, and basically a big spastic mess. If that's why you love Xiu Xiu, then feel free to disregard this review. But for those of us who like our music at least a LITTLE bit accessible, this one's a disaster, and a convincing reason to quit listening to the band. In my opinion, Xiu Xiu is one of those frustrating bands that are capable of great music but rarely deliver. As far as I'm concerned, they reached their peak with Fabulous Muscles, because that album at least had a handful of brilliant frantic-but-listenable songs. Women as Lovers has two, maybe three songs that I can tolerate from beginning to end, and the cover of Under Pressure is the only song I really like. I think I'm pretty much completely over the band at this point, except for the small body of great songs that I love from past albums.
I do appreciate that the band streamed the album online (however briefly), so that I had a chance to listen to the whole thing and pass on purchasing it.
