I like the album. I don't love it. I like it. The same can be said for a lot of records in my collection. ]]> 353271@blogcritics.org Tue, 18 Apr 2006 09:43:21 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/17/154921.php#comment-353123 In this day & age, sometimes a perfectly adequate record is as good as it gets, you know. ]]> 353123@blogcritics.org Tue, 18 Apr 2006 00:20:27 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/17/154921.php#comment-353113 I have never been a big fan of Susanna Hoffs' voice. It grew on me a little here. It's a perfectly adequate record... just not a great one. ]]> 353113@blogcritics.org Mon, 17 Apr 2006 23:51:56 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/17/154921.php#comment-353112 "Alone Again Or" was more enjoyable to me than "Warmth of the Sun" on this package. ]]> 353112@blogcritics.org Mon, 17 Apr 2006 23:50:08 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/17/154921.php#comment-353110 Susie still makes great 60's flavored music when she wants to ("ie "Get the Girl"' from one of those Austin Powers soundtracks), so I'm OK with her doing a 60's cover album. And she's still cute, which is more than you can say for most bonaifde 60's artists, the ones that are still around anyways. ]]> 353110@blogcritics.org Mon, 17 Apr 2006 23:46:51 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/17/154921.php#comment-353013 Two favorite songs are on here side by side. Love's "Alone Again Or"--and The Beach Boys' "Warmth of the Sun" is absolutely beautiful (written after JFK's assasination). Good to see a couple obscurities from Left Banke and Zombies. ]]> 353013@blogcritics.org Mon, 17 Apr 2006 20:22:12 EDT
