My favorite Big Star record. It strikes the finest balance between pop traditions and melancholy present on their earlier releases.
Not a patch on their first 2 records but there are great moments here all the same.
"Third/Sister Lovers" was recorded as follow up to "Radio City" in 1975. Of the original members only Chilton and Stephens were left and a lot of different musicians contributed to the recordings. John Fry was also involved during the recordings of Big Star's first two albums as engineer/producer. Due to the earlier albums' lack of commercial succes the album was not released until 1978 in the wake of the punk/new wave which gave renewed interest in bands like Big Star.
Musically most of this album differs a lot from the first two. Many of the tracks are cleary not a band recordings, but more like solo performances by Chilton with various guest musicians. The are exceptions, though. On songs like "Thank You Friends" and "Jesus Christ" the old Big Star feeling is still there.
The album shows a lot of different moods. There are moments of desperation on songs like "Kizza Me", "Downs" and "You Can't Have Me", beautiful ballads like "Stroke It Noel", "Nighttime" and "Blue Moon"; gloomy mystrious moods on "Holocaust", "Kangaroo" and "Dream Lover"
My favourites: Thank You Friends, Jesus Christ, Stroke It Noel, For You, Nighttime and Blue Moon.
lancashirearab 04/07/2012 08:43An amazing album. My wife managed to get me the Record Store Day Test pressing version for Christmas. I am truely blessed.
Rang Dang Doo 07/24/2011 20:51Big Star's "Third" has managed to be ranked at #8 and #60 simultaneously.
Is the intent of this list to show best albums as they were in 1978 or repackaging schemes as they are today?
Juan Schwartz 02/11/2011 22:41i think there are doubles of this album on the site. this and third/sister lovers (the one with with ladies on the ground in a circle) have the exact same track listing.
RaineyWins 06/05/2010 05:52Quite a good cover of "Femme Fetale", I like Alex's voice
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
The Gollux 01/18/2010 20:40one of those albums that manages to switch moods through out its 14 tracks and still remain cohesive. The upbeat pop songs are absolutely brilliant (thank you friends) and the moodier tracks (kangaroo)are haunting...but it still flows so well. lately ive been listening to this album more than any other.
