Good, But It Gets Better..........2006-05-20

I'll admit i was somewhat late discovering Mario Hernandez and his child-like voice, so i judge this album on the basis of hearing 'Nothing Sadder Than Lonely Queen' first. After registering with e-music and finding his second album (and excessivley listening to it) i decided to buy this album 'Me And Amy And The Two french Boy's', and at first i instantly decided that 'Nothing Sadder Than Lonely Queen' was better, but after a few days of listening to this album bit by bit, the lyrics and tunes started to get stuck in my head. The title song 'me and amy and the two french boys' is grungey, creepy and the weirdest song i've ever heard, low guitars play throughout, while mario sings in an echoey voice which transforms into what could be five decapitated childrens doll heads singing during the chorus, if you have seen the film 'May' think the end theme song to that mixed with grungey indie pop. The clear gems of the album (for me) have to be 'Ask The Space Invader' which starts off almost too quiet, like a few kid's playing with instruments before their school music lesson starts, the trumpets are there from the start, but you slowly realise how important they are to the song, especially after the screeching climax (in a good way) they bring the song right back down to it's quiet beggining to give a really satisfying end. The other song i loved was 'Shaboom They Said', mostly for the same reasons, this song is hectic, yet slow and full of dispear, after you know the lyrics it's hard not to sing along or at least mime to mario's voice. If you buy this album knowing you want something sweet, raw and catchy, you won't be dissapointed. It's a mix of excellent song writing, lyrically and musically, with a sweet twist that will leave you craving another rush, theres no 'Average' about this album, you will either love it or hate it. But i wouldn't reccomend this if you easily get a toothache.
I would also reccomend buying 'Nothing Sadder Than Lonely Queen' first, even if a few of my favourite bubblegum tracks are on this album, 'nothing sadder than lonely queen' is the most satisfying, overall.

Nah..nah.........2006-04-01

Don't do it...my heart goes out to From Bubblegum to Sky for trying to put this together...but it's just bad all around...stick with Built to spill..or...The Sleepy Jackson
