Solid Album Full of Deep Cuts
Posted April 09, 2015
By leothelion3,
I purchased this album not having heard anything on it before; not anything on the radio, not anything on a previous purchase, simply because I've been a fan for some time, and appreciate getting to support artists that have "spoken" to me throughout my life.
The first listen caused some concern to me, because nothing, literally not one song, jumped out at me as a must-hit-repeat. Everything sounded good, like the guitars, the piano, the vocals, the drums, it was impeccably played and recorded. Sixpence's time away certainly didn't diminish their musicality, if anything, the tracks on this album seem sparse, giving each instrument and vocal the space needed to really do it's part, without taking away parts from any other instrument or vocals.
Eventually, through repeated listens, I have determined that this is just an album full of solid songs, and while I don't hit repeat on any particular tracks, I also don't reach for the skip button on any of them either.
If you can only afford one or two songs on the album, I would recommend "Give It Back" and "Radio", but my true recommendation would be to save up enough for the whole thing.
Thank you Sixpence None the Richer, for a surprisingly deep, honest and mature album!
