Is there life on other planets?.......2003-11-23

The opener, "She's So Liquid" showcases the Bill Mallonee sound. Dreamy , distorted guitars and warm organ sounds encase Mallonee's earnest vocals.

Mallonee had shown signs of pursuing a college radio friendly sound, with songs like "It's Not Bothering Me" on his band's last album. But there are no percussive anthems here. Mallonee is clearly recalling his childhood favorites from the British invasion.

"Extraordinary Girl" is a beautiful two-and-a-half minute pop song, ranking with "Extreme North of the Compass" and "Tempest" in that aspect in Mallonee's catalog.

The biggest complaint many diehard VoL fans will have: They've heard most of these songs already. Many were featured on Mallonee's first true solo album Fetal Position. Now, Paste Magazine has started its own label, and they've culled songs from Fetal Position along with several new tracks.

Fresh Air.......2003-10-12

I once heard someone say "the songs on the radio just (still) suck i'm afraid it is my turn to drive and i can barely stay awake."

What a breath of fresh air.

The songs on the radio do suck. Although the song is thirteen years old, not much has changed. When I'm forced to listen, I can't stay awake either.

That was Bill Malonee then.

Bill has grown up - so have I.

"where do i begin / where do i venture in / to knock upon the door / of possibilities?"

Bill understands now that he knows less than he ever did and I'm slowly learning the same things myself.

This isn't the same Americana Bill as on the other albums. He's growing up, maturing and the music reflects that. He's telling his story through a more Brit approach that reflects the very nature of the people who are taking him more seriously.

You can't dance to most of the songs on this one, you can't automatically catch the imagery, you get nothing as blunt as you might have liked from his previous stuff, no Buddy Miller, the list goes on.

You'll have to work hard for this one - and it is so worth it.

Grow with this artist. He's giving you more on this platter than I'll bet you have in your car right now.

Saw this live last night.......2003-09-04

Saw Bill Mallonee last night in Greenville, SC. He performed 9 or 10 of the songs from the CD, in additon to several tunes from Summershine and the old standby "Real Down Town". Having never heard this new music before, it was refreshing to hear them the first time straight from the artists stage. By the way, the previous review by Mr. Ayers is excellent! The mood of the CD is somewhat somber, somewhat hopeful, songs from an artist who has seen many heartaches in his life. "Cresent Moon" stands out to me becasue he introduced it as a rememberance of his first, awkward date with his wife. And the haunting guitar at the end of "Shirts and Skins" was unbelievable. What you will find here is a more layered, keyboard enhanced sound. Not what I expected, but it is still awesome.

Bill always pours his heart into his music and even though there were only 25(!) people in the audience last night he gave us 90+ minutes of his passion. Few of us in life get to actually live out what we feel called to do, but it is obvious that Bill Mallonee has been called to be a songwriter. And it is to our benefit that he has answered that call.

Best album of the year.......2003-09-04

Perfumed Letter is another excelent album from Bill Mallonee. I have been listenning to it for several weeks now and can't find any flaws. Bills vocals perfectly convey the emotions expressed in the lyrics, from sorrow and desperation to joy and love. If you are thirsting for something that's deeper than Britany or Christina, if you want an album where you can feel the artists emotion coming thru...this is the album for you.

An Amazing Turn.......2003-09-04

Wow. I really have followed Vigilantes of Love for a few years, but this is amazing. It's got so many surprises and wonderful songs that each time I listen to it, I am discovering more treasures. You just have to listen to it - over and over. From the cool vibey Beatlesque, "She's so Liquid" to the forlorn "Your Bright Future." Bill has a character voice, and the emotion and realness he sings with - is so convincing, it must be truly reality. This is one of my top 10 of all time.
