Reviews (page 7 of 7)
I remember the music papers creaming their tits about how good this album was when it came out. I think that says a lot about how low a bar music was setting itself in 1999. This was then, and still is now, a painfully dreary album.
Too nick drake-esque
It seems to be a very touching album, songs are very sad and calm, it's not bad, but it's not the style I like.
So slow and Melancholy
Not on Spotify uk
Not too long ago I was introduced to Will Oldham by author, educator, internet personality and awesome human, John Green. After hearing "New Partner" from Oldham's Palace Music project, I don't think anything can come close. Didn't care for this one.
not available on streaming
Not on Spotify, so unable to listen
"Madeleine-Mary" and "Song For the New Breed" were good tracks. Other than that.....meh.
1.5
Weird, not quirky. Overrated. Derivative. Unlistenable.
Depressing
ah
can't access on Spotify in NZ
I'd not heard of the artist or heard any of the music before, and when it started and as I read the Wikipedia on it, I thought I'd probably like it because it has a lot of elements of music I tend to enjoy; however, I did not like this album. Some moments are interesting musically, but most of the time I could not shake the feeling I was listening to parody, and it felt like parody I didn't get. I tried to be open-minded and listen to as parody, I liked it even less. Cool album cover art, though.
