Crafted Brillance.......2001-05-11

This album is fantastic. I first heard Dolly Varden on the Bob Harris show on Radio-2. Check for great music www.bobharris.org and listen in on Saturday evenings. Dolly varden's album is so well crafted and the music is relaxing, challenging and the vocals are haunting. Musically it is brillaint from the very atmospheric "Apple Doll" and "Too Good to Believe" and the title track "Dumbest Magnets". Truly a gem...

This CD rocks.......2001-03-20

The Dumbest Magnets is one of the best CDs that I have ever had. It's range of music is relaxing, insightful,and at times energizing. I find the lyrics thought provoking as well as cathartic. But, what I enjoy most is the excellent musicianship. I particularly enjoy the bassast, whose name I cannot readily recall). His subtle bass lines greatly enhance the pieces. Yet, his soulful playing is powerful on Simple Pleasures and Come to Me. I highly recommend this album.

timeless classic.......2000-12-08

this is my favorite record of the year and one that i can tell i will still be listening to 10 years from now. every song is remarkably well structured, played and produced. someone below compared it to Richard and Linda Thompson's Shoot Out the Lights, as high a compliment as one can pay a singer-songwriter record. i agree but maybe for a different reason. Magnets is sort of the emotional flip side of Shoot out the Lights - Dawson and Christiansen explore their own successful marriage, which is a much harder thing to write about convincingly and with depth than relationship disintegration. but Magnets isn't the least bit sappy or self-congratulatory. to the contrary - it is a very serious, thoughtful record with alot going on below the surface and left unsaid between the lines. but if you don't care to dive into the lyrics, the record will win you over anyway with its strong melodies and wonderfully nuanced vocals. i disagree with the person below who found Dawson's songs unoriginal and lacking. in fact, i would rate one of his song's from here, "Balcony", as maybe my favorite song of the year, up there with Bob Dylan's "Things Have Changed". if you like intelligent pop music, i would very highly recommend this record.
