The live experience is much different than the album. If you see someone live first and then hear the album, what you hear will always be colored by what you heard live. So I respect your opinion.

I came online looking to see if other people had heard of him and found your review -- I gotta say, I'm not really on board with you -- this guy is an incredible musician and really entertaining live. <br /><br />Post-modern Manilow makes him sound like someone who writes cheesy, catchy songs with a cynical edge. That's not what I'm hearing, and while I have much respect for Manilow's pop sensibility, dropping a name like that is not going to be helpful to people who want to know what he actually sounds like. <br /><br />My favorite songs were "Sink" and "It's Only Me." I've never heard a song quite like Sink -- there's a toy piano, acoustic guitar, bossa rhythm, hand clapping, a chorus of maybe his friends singing, and some seriously tricky syncopation. <br /><br />Where was the slop on Rabbit Hole? And where are the "downs" on the song writing? "More Than Me" isn't too creative, but it's still a solid song, and "Rabbit Hole" is pretty straight up kitsch, but the lyrics are mad clever, and saying he hams it up a "bit too much" -- I mean, come on, he's just having fun, and the audience fucking loved it.<br /><br />The title track, "Something New" is anything but cheesy! This makes me think that when you put the words "Manilow" and "postmodern" together you actually have no idea what you're talking about! If anything, this is the postmodern song, a metacritique of formulaic pop but with an approving wink both to the songwriters and the listener. <br /><br />I just feel like you didn't give this album a good listen. People want to know what the album is going to feel like after a few listens -- not your initial reactions to it after what seems like listening to it while you were on the phone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
