 Written on September 10, 2007 Summary: Can't get past the first CD I love those albums that start off with an upbeat tune. This one has Absolutely Cuckoo....what a beginning. It took me weeks before I got through the first CD, getting stuck on All My Little Words (the great banjo sound) for days, then Come Back To San Francisco (simple electric guitar melody), then Book of Love (a few weeks...how about those refrains...easy to sing along and click together with the prior lyrics..you can read to me anytime). I'm leery about going onto the next two CDs. Not prepared for a let down; maybe not prepared for more great sounds. I have listened to "i" which was pretty good as well. I found about the album from On My Nightstand, a weekly column by Dylan Foley in the Star-Ledger. He interviews authors to see what they're reading. Well, one author had read a book about the making of the album. Some day I'll read the book. 5 stars and haven't listened to the 2 other CDs. Found just one other person who knows about the album. Where are the rest??? Written on September 7, 2007 Summary: do you really need to read this?? i am the 129th person to review this, or at least i'm pretty sure i'm #129, and the 3 disc set is already approaching 100% approval. Here is all i have to say. Buy it. You won't regret it. Stephin's music is beautiful and the lyrics are untouchable as well. if you've never heard it, i highly suggest buying it sight unheard and blindly accepting you made a good decision. it may take a few listens to get the full grasp of what it's all about, but when you do you will be hooked. welcome to stephin's world...you won't regret it.  Written on February 9, 2007 Summary: worth buying but not the best... many people i know consider this to be the best magnetic fields, i disagree. while i enjoy this album(s) quite a bit, i still feel there's something missing. it seems that master-mind stephin merritt seemed to focus more on the concept (writing and recording 69 songs) than on any sort of consistency (lyrical or musical). this is not necessarily a bad thing, as most of life lacks a lot of consistency. in that respect, the album is very honest. still in many moods, i find it a difficult listen. i believe this album is an essential for any fan of magnetic fields, or fan of intelligent indie-pop in general, but if you're a new listener, i suggest 'holiday' or 'i' before '69 love songs'. i think you should have previous appreciation and understanding for stephin merrit as a musician/songwriter. -- i suggest this mainly because i do have friends who listened to this album first and were completely turned-off to magnetic fields. Written on January 10, 2007 Summary: Genius Not since Cole Porter has music of such high caliber been written for the masses...i look forward to future works by Mr. Stephen Merritt. Written on January 4, 2007 Summary: Don't fall in love with me yet 69 Love Songs is the best trip you can take and still keep it legal. |
