froggie Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Is that any good? its pretty mellow and folky with lots of 2-part harmonies. there's only a few upbeat tunes. if that sounds good to you, you'll like it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 You're a pretty big Buckley fan though right? I want to rip out my eyes when Patrick Watson gets played. Guess I'm not really open to that kind of affected vocal, but whatever... Other part for not really liking is that it is by far the weakest of the Polaris nominees. How it got groupthinked into winning is beyond me. I mean Neon Bible, the Remainder, Woke Myself Up, Skelliconnection....i'm really glad Neon Bible didn't win it... a) it's not nearly as great as Funeral they're huge now, they hardly need any more exposure/press i also think Feist's album isn't nearly as great on the whole as the first one either, mostly because it's a bit too much of a downer for me.

True. I think that was and will continue to be the problem of these indie awards - Polaris, Mercury, maybe the Arias etc. Their juries are constantly thinking 'They don't need the press' when casting a ballot for a something not as good as the other nominees. I still like Neon Bible an awful lot. Maybe it isn't as knock you on the teeth as funeral, but keep the car running, intrevention, the Bruce Springsteen sounding song.. those were all exceptional. onto:Neil Young - Chrome Dreams II Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Welsh Rich Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 As for the Patrick Watson - I'm with Kyle, it's nice, but yeah, it seems like an odd choice for Canadian album of the year considering the competition... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
