Wonderful.......2001-03-13
This is a c.d. of great songs,innovative sounds,brilliantly funny lyrics and a set of remixes to boot.How would you describe their music-well it's all pretty varied.The first song Conversation Intercom is a good example of this.Drum machines,swirling synths,slide acoustic guitar,heavy guitar-it all collides in four minutes of pulsating,riveting,toe-tapping music.A great song!The quality does not lull at all on this c.d.Song 2 may not be as manic but it's quiet laidback start leads to a frenetic ending.By the way it's very catchy also.Song 3-is a gentle ballad-so this group can do tender moments too!The title track sounds a bit like heavy T-Rex,lots of guitar,terrific harmonies on the chorus-mixed with swirling,distorted guitars and vocals.Another great song.The next song is a winner too-by virtue of having one of the best titles ever-Overweight Karate Kid-lyrically it's quite ingenious!
Now anyone who listens to song 8 "Too Many D.J's" and can't admit that this is a great song well they must be tone deaf!From the first strumming of the acoustic guitar-this song goes into so many musical genres and directions and yet it never sounds like total chaos-acoustic guitar,heavy loud guitar,gentle end of verse,very loud and heavy chorus,then into a bit of techno!!It's like this all the way through-you never know which way this song is going to.Yeah I suppose you could say I like this song!Unfortunately it's the best song on the album.The next song calms things down-heavy organ chord-a bit like Grandaddy-then acoustic driven acoustic chorus-with a catch that any budding artist would kill to create.
The songs I've listed are my favourites-yet I can't say there is a weak song on this c.d.If you do get bored with this and I have to say that would be difficult you've got the other c.d. of live tracks,remixes,acoustic versions,etc.It gives some of the songs a nice new perspective and it's worth paying the extra for.Yeah Belgium-my attitude is changing fast about that place.Buy this c.d. and you'll see for yourself!
