I Can't Put This Album Away!!!I decided to buy this album one day and I will admit it I saw the You Hear It First special sneak peek on Tegan & Sara a couple of months ago. From the first listen, I immediately fell in love with the songs. My first favorite was of course "Walking With The Ghost," but after repeated listens all of the songs grew on me. This album can be played from start to finish. There are so many catchy hooks especially "Speak Slow" and "Take Me Anywhere." Tegan & Sara's voices blend well together with Sara sounding like the more gentler kind and Tegan as the raspy one. As if that couldn't get any better the closing track "I Can't Take It" is a relaxing but a bit upbeat finish to a perfect album.Highest MarksThis album is different from prior albums and no less accomplished or pleasing for old fans to behold. New fans seem to continue to join the T&S ranks, finding reasons to love this superbly crafted album. Touring for So Jealous is still going on throughout 2005 - seeing them live is a must.
What are you waiting for. Go to their website. Get the keys and drive to the nearest Tegan & Sara venue.Amazing LPI saw them live when they opened for the Killers in April and was very impressed. I was expecting another horrible opening act, but that they weren't. Thinkig that I'd never heard anything by them before, I found a lot of their material familiar. Where Does the Good Go? from some movie or tv show, and Walking with a Ghost on MTV late one night. And recently two of their songs have been featured on the tv show Grey's Anatomy- Downtown and Fix You Up. All songs mentioned are favorites along with I Bet it Stung.
Bottom line, their fresh talent and sound (both women have very unique and distinctive voices- think Nelly Furtado fused with Ashlee Simpson, in a good way) is a much needed change in the music world today and I hope they stick around for a very long time. |
