1. WANT ONE – Rufus Wainwright
A bucket of rhymes he threw up threw up somewhere. Big, bold and beautiful.
Sweet, sad and soulful.
“…like you meant it and I knew that you meant it.”
“Cool hands from the get go can feast on the real one….”
“rocket with a heart”.
I’m spinning ‘round the room in awe. This is the way I like my Ryan.
All for swinging me around.
The phairest of them all. White girl groove. Turn it on and turn it up!
“Partly it’s the boots but mostly it’s the chi.”
Yea, Bette Midler. You gotta problem with that? The songs are classics. The production is flawless and the singing is reverent and surprisingly restrained. A distant cousin to Want One……..
“dropped from moonbeams and sailed on shooting stars”. Sometimes this is a fun listen. Othertimes it’s radioheadache. I like it and admire it more than I love it.
Will Linsey Buckingham ever be appreciated for the incredible arranger, producer and guitarist that he is? Pop music that pushes the limits ever so slightly. Minus a star for the absence of Christine McVie.
Good jonk ponk music for the tattooed, single-parented, trailer park twenty year old that pogos inside us. Just try not cheering along to “Girls and Boys”.
I exhausted this by too many plays I think…..
The perfect “fock-you-too”. Give all the good songs about an ex away to another woman who sings it straight at her. Better than Tim’s band’s own record and way better than his ex’s. Trouble, indeed.
Where they should have gone after Autoamerican. A return to form.
Didn’t like this much before I heard it without all the stuff behind it. Now it’s pretty and the melodies come through. But CS&N they ain’t..
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah….some good beats and hooks behind a miss potty mouth who’s not quite out to lunch enough to be Lydia Lunch but a lot more strokin’ than those strokes blokes, folks.
More of what they did best. Jingles with jangles. It’s like they never left us. And they put the fire into Elvis’ limp song, too.
The title says it all.
