Music Review For 2008-03
Friday, June 20th, 2008After bying a few albums in March, time has past and a review is overdue. This is my personal ranking:
- Bajofondo Tango Club: Mar Dulce. My most heard album in the last months; at work, in the car, at home and soon maybe also at our dancing lessons. Very entertaining Tango pieces.
- Lonnie Jordan: War Stories. A little exausting if consumed at a whole, which is a compliment, since the enthusiasm, energy and detail within these funky songs deserve more than to be heard just as a soundtrack to something else.
- Jack Johnson: Sleep Through The Static. Nice - as the others from Jack Johnson.
- Lizz Wright: The Orchard. Not much listened to, yet. But this voice deserves an extra round or two in my music player with my full attention.
- R.E.M.: Accelerate. At first I really disliked it, but it got better with each time I listened to them again. Still, it’s ok but not more.
- Duffy: Rockferry. “Mercy” is great, even after listening to it for how many times? Also the radio keeps playing it (all summer long, I assume; they found their summer hit?) On the other hand, I have the feeling that the music industry looked for (and found) a replacement for Amy.
- Amy Winehouse: Back to Black. Boring.
