wow is this the same dude who was in the punk band X? this is so not-punk! the earnestness is practically dripping off the disc and the piano parts are just heartbreakingly beautiful. looking at the back, you'd think this is a cd of duets but don't be fooled - most of them are in there as backing vocals, which was a little disappointing. i liked the slow ones the best (#1 #2 #5 #6 #7). the more upbeat ones tend to be catchy but formulaic. 1. just the piano part alone is worth playing this track! 2. starts out twangy then gets loud (in a good way). juliana hatfield's in there somewhere but just barely. 3. i feel like i've heard this beat before. jane wiedlin on backup. 4. upbeat. aimee mann on backup. 5. slowing things down, acoustic-guitar style. 6. pretty piano and juliana on backup. nice and depressing. 7. pretty standard rock tune. sounds like a VH1 hit. jakob dylan on backup. 8. upbeat, catchy, but again, somewhat ordinary. rhett miller on backup. 9. another pretty piano ballad. can you tell i like that piano?? 10. tinkly and sooo depressing. 11. short bonus track! just him and his guitar. simple and nice. | ||
