Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Best Studio Album.......2006-11-03

When you move past Daniel's super low-fi recordings and into his more produced studio albums it can be hit and miss. Daniel just shouldn't be too produced, that's not what he is. Daniel is raw, don't try and package him. That's where Artistic Vice comes in. This album is a powerhouse of Dan and a band. If you enjoyed Songs of Pain and want to dip deeper into Daniel this is a good place. Love is in the air.

4 out of 5 stars 4.5 stars for an amazing album........2002-07-14

Those who know of Daniel Johnston know his quirks: his songs feature child-like lyrics that tell the story of his often troubled life,earlier works like this are full of bare boned songs that never fail to charm & amaze and he is an aquired taste(this is no easily digestable John Mayer type stuff) that rewards your curiousity. Artist Vice is one of the most personal and engrossing albums released in the last 15 years-maybe of the last 30 years. The bare bones nature of Johnston's work is in full effect here. These are pretty simple songs that are simply pretty.This has been a favorite since the first time I heard it almost 10 years ago. Daniel Johnston deserves to be more popular than he is and one of Kurt Cobain's most laudable achievements is that he brought this man's work to a wider audience. This album is something very rare-it's different. Daniel Johnston is spilling his guts and giving us a piece of his soul here-the least we can do is say thanks. Buy this cd.
