Indeed. Would that everything had such a pat ending.
Before I heard the album, I read a review comparing one of the songs, and I've now forgotten which, to something from Jesus Christ Superstar... and I thought okay, whatever, you've got to be kidding me. But that was pre-listen. There's a major hippie vibe to this album indeed. By the time I gave it a couple of spins, I wanted to braid flowers into my hair and go have a lie-down in a meadow somewhere with with couple of really mellow cats and an orange glass bong.
Twin Cinema may not sell every listener on the first go-round, but pop it into your car in the morning and I guarantee that by the time you're halfway through your evening commute, you'll be singing along and bobbing in your seat. It's not quite the album of the year, as it's being lauded by some dedicated fans, but it's happy-funtime music with a few sharp edges here and there.
Miz Monkey's final word: Solid, but for the love, less Newman and more of the ladies!

Ok, I adore this album to death. It's been on practical non-stop play for me since the begining of this month. I think there are probably 7 songs that I could probably call 'the greatest thing ever.'

It IS pretty damned catchy. I listened to it many, many times last night and caught myself running through the parts of “Use It” I could remember this morning while at work.

Anyone have the lyrics for this CD? If so please e-mail me a link or something. I like this album a lot...although it took me a few listens to start liking it. I agree though, the lyrics need to stand out more. I really can't hear a word they are saying on most tracks, which is why I am looking for the lyrics. I thought for a momment maybe I got a dud CD that was not mixed the way it should have been. Come on New Porno's let us hear those great lyrics of yours. Jesh. Any comments? E-mail me!
