S'OkI am a beginning Ani DiFranco fan. I bought this CD second, and as a beginning fan I was not impressed at all. Some of the songs are good. 'Hat Shaped Hat' is very fun, 'Jukebox' has a good feel to it. ''Tis of thee' has a powerful message behind it. The other songs have their moments. But overall, I don't think this is a good album if you're buying it to see what you're in for. i love this.don't listen to all these bummer reviews by pissy elitist ani fans. this albam is abstract & beautiful. from the humbling "tis of thee" to the devastating "trickle down" followed by the fun jam session of "hat shaped hat" which is a great closing track for an amazing albam. the song "jukebox" is one of ani's definate masterpieces, as is the whole albam.Another favorite Ani Difranco albumIt has been awhile since I popped in "Up Up Up Up Up Up". My taste in music has changed drastically over the years. I am not the big Ani Difranco fan that I used to be. Eight years ago, I used to buy her cds on the day that they were released. My how times have changed. Still I respect Ani immensely for her DIY ethics and eschewing corporate America when it comes to her music. Next to "Little Plastic Castles" and "Dilate", "Up Up Up Up Up Up" is one of my favorite Ani Difranco cds. Songs like "Angry Any More" and "'Tis of Thee" really speaks to me lyrically. Unlike her earlier work, "Up Up Up Up Up Up" incorporates other different instruments other than Ani's traditional fierce guitar playing. The banjo, the organ, piano, and bass all adds a different layer of sound to Ani's music and gives her music new life. I personally love "Up Up Up Up Up Up". It is different from Ani's earlier music but I think it is still as good. |
