Advantages: Classic Album by a Canadian Indie Rock Supergroup Disadvantages: Not Enough Rousing Songs
The new Pornographers are a very special band, made up of members of a few canadian indie groups. This, their third release, is easily my favourite album of 2005.
Not brash, striking, or glamorous, this record is barely an indie album, but with every listen the supreme sense of calm and cheerfulness. In a word, I'd describe the record as "Nice". It's nice in the way that a warm day on a pleasant beach is nice, or a summer evening, or being cuddled up next to the fire on a winters day. But don't get the wrong idea - this is not a downbeat record. Even when things slow down it is still bright and clear, with a casual vide that rocks you through the tracks like a boat on water.
The twin voices of Carl Newman (male lead vocals) and Neko case (Female lead vocals) intertwine perfectly and their harminies are close to perfect in the way ...
Advantages: loud, brilliant, upbeat, pure genius perhaps Disadvantages: a little on the short side, if you dislike loud music chances are you won't like the Hives
Okay - so the title is a little lame. But heck, I'm only the second person to write about 'Your New Favourite Band' and the title just seemed apt. I've bought several cd's of late, some old, some new, and of all of the cd's I have purchased, I find it is The Hives who are back in my cd player again and again.
When I first played the cd, my sister (she of no discernible musical taste) asked what that 'noise' was. When I responded, and quite enthusiastically I might add, that that 'noise' was my new favourite band, she simply gave me a withering look and asked if I could kindly keep it down, if not actually change the cd.
I probably could see my sister's point of view. Your New Favourite Band is definitely a very 'loud' album. Loud drums are a prominent feature, the vocalist does not so sing so much as shout and the pace ...
Advantages: Infectious songs that make you feel you can take on the world Disadvantages: There is a feel that the songs are too similar
of the album. It is slower than the others but is still an uptempo song. Definately an interesting variation to finish.
Cover/ Inside cover details
Quite basic inside, not really giving much away, which in a strange way adds to the intrigue of this odd looking band. They all dress in black and white, and I think they could have made more of this on the front cover, which just shows them in their playing positions with only the black parts of them visible (the rest being a light and dark red pattern).
To conclude, I have given this quite average ratings but give it good overall. This sounds a bit odd but I simply feel that the album is fantastic for when you have an adrenaline rush. The start of the album is better than the end but, to be honest, after jumping around for a while, you will be too tired to worry so much anyway.
Definately ...
