Continuum - Reminder

Advantages: Feist's unique voice, the kookiness of it all, y'all
Disadvantages: Many duff tracks on here, and the tracklisting is extremely suspect

...by the indie press what would she do? Well, the answer seems, she would refine the sound she created on Let It Die and polish it up a whole bunch, and then completely mess up the ordering of the tracks. As a result, The Reminder' is highly involving and entertaining but then incredibly dull and broken. It's a real mix of the good, the bad and the kinda ploddy on this album, with fun, rocky moments such as "I Feel It All" followed by brilliant pop gems like "My Moon My Man", which lead into dull-as-listening-into-a-wet-tap "The Park". It's a real shame, because when Feist is firing on all cylinders, she's almost untouchable as an artist. The album starts off with a bluff in the form of "So Sorry", a bluesy country folk riff thingy, which is slow and steady, with bongos pacing out a slow beat whilst Feist sings an apology to a former lover.

...You may know of Feist from her track 1,2,3,4 in the popualr advert for the ipod nano.

Advantages: Great to dance to.
Disadvantages: Maybe a little old.

...I had this bought me when I was younger and even now I still listen to it. This is good for all listeners, whether older and just want to remeber or young and like to party. I think it is a great reminder of the good old pop music that started all the newer boy bands off. I don't know where we would be without them. This is also great for dancing along to on a miserable rainy day, it really cheers you up. I think this will go on being most peoples greatest hits, it's definatly mine. I t's great!... Read review
