Spotlight on Nina, not much else.......2004-05-29

Nina's voice is clearly the highlight of LGBD. She sings with a mature confidence, intensity and passion as never before. Much of this I credit to the fact that she wrote all of the lyrics and therefore genuinely feels what she's singing this time around. OK, that's worth the 3 stars.

The rest of the band is sadly un-showcased. If you've grown up with the Cardigans, you're probably a fan of innovative instrumentation (brass, flute ...bassoon for Pete's sake), unconventional drum beats (I've never heard five-four sound so natural) and most of all a TREMENDOUS sense of humor (Did they ever solve who killed the bakerman in "Closing Time"?). But you'll get none of that with this album.

All songs are in four-four (with the exception of 1 or 2 dabbles in waltz), all guitars are eighth-note-strumming to the beat, bass is predictably on the root at all times, and guitar solos are in Dorian major. You know what I've just described? Yes... country music!

I hope I don't come across as a country music hater, because I'm not. I'm merely pointing out that, aside from vocals, this album makes our beloved Cardigans sound too much like everyone else. That's something that's never happened before (even if you hated Gran Turismo, you have to admit that it was different).

A gorgeous, mournful, meaningful album.......2004-05-27

Nina and the boys sound sadder, stronger, wiser, and more-world weary on this album than on past releases I've heard... and that's a good thing. A good album to listen to while lying on the floor, drinking hard liquor, staring up at the ceiling, thinking about past relationships gone wrong... Past Cardigans albums have made me want to cuddle Nina as if she were some sort of adorable, sharp-toothed, clawing kitten... this album is different, though, and makes me want to marry her, or have long boozy conversations with her at least. Rather than shrugging off her heartache with an ironic wink, she instead seems to be taking herself and her music more seriously... with gorgeous
results.

The most mature Cardigan's release to date.......2004-05-22

This is the album Aimee Mann and Sheryl Crow wish they had released. Filled with better american pop songs than americans could write, the Cardigans have reached the arc of the careers. Not every song on this album is a gem, but their pop prowess is displayed marvelously on tracks such as "For What it's Worth" and "A Good Horse" among many others. This album will definetely creep up on you.

Feathers And Down.......2004-05-13

Like other Cardigan's albums,this one is a little hit and miss. There aren't any particularly bad tracks here, just not enough stand out A-tracks.

But having said that, the A-tracks are so incredible they may be worth the price of the CD by themselves. In particular "Feathers And Down" is so beautiful and tender I would have bought the CD on the strength of that track alone.

"Come to me let's drown - come baby let's drown in feathers and down..."

Other stand-out tracks "Communication" and "03.45: No Sleep".

Comparing this to earlier Cardigan's albums, it is a lot more "country" sounding - probably primarily due to the guitar work - there's an Eagles sound to the guitar here....

If you;re new to the Cardigans, "First Band On The Moon" might be a better first choice since it has the most "A-tracks". Come pick up this one when you need more Cardigans (and don't we all).
