But for me, it's my favorite manson album, rising above the usual manson-whored metal template to put a glam sheen on depravity. That "rock is dead" song from the matrix is here, but there are other rockin' highlights as well. "Posthuman" (where he sings "god is just a statistic") match "rock"'s ferocity. The mood is set with opener "great big white world" with marilyn singing "In space the stars are no nearer / They just glitter like a morgue / And I dreamed I was a spaceman / Burned like a moth in a flame" adding synth FX after the first verse (and i like the squealing guitar/synth at the end). "the dope show" ("cops and queers make good looking models") and "i don't like the drugs (but the drugs like me)" (ha ha) were the post-"rock is dead" radio hits, but songs "new model no. 15", "the speed of pain" and "user friendly" ("i'm not in love but i'm gonna f*ck you 'til somebody better comes along") are just as wide-audience worthy. As usual with manson, it's a god, drugs & rock'n'roll show. The title track's repeated verse states "you were..as hollow as the 'o' in 'god') and "drugs" says "Our God is white and unforgiving / We're piss tested and we're prayin'" On the subject of drugs there's "There's a hole in our soul / That we're fillin' with dope / And we're feeling fine" I like the backing vox in the spacey, slow-build of "speed of pain" where "the crack inside your f@cking heart is me". But for my money, it's ironic that "rock is dead" is the best song simply being a pretty straight-forward rock song. This definitely non-metal style has since been abandoned by Marilyn, and it's a shame."  [+]  Reply

"I really like this album as it has focus and direction which was not on a few of their previous outings. My favourite would have to be Childhood's End - great feel, awesome lyrics and a typically haunting Gilmour solo."  Reply

I felt like my favorite band had betrayed me. As the years went by, though, I began to see the great strengths of this album. There is some stellar songwriting, lots of great layering of sound, and marvelous creation of mood. Despite being a synth-heavy product of it's time, it has held up well and in the final analysis is well in the upper half of my Rush list. "  [+]  Reply

It makes for a nice contrast to his sometimes collaborator, Burial, who has a darker, broodier downtempo feel.

I really thought the band would go in a more pop-direction on this album with all the recent success, but they didn't. In fact, they almost went the opposite direction with more laid out garage-band types of tracks with a bit of jamming. It's actually a pretty cool album. It doesn't have knock-out songs like Howlin For You, Lonely Boy, Tighten Up or Gold On The Ceiling, but it still comes together quite well as a collective album. Weight of Love is stellar, probably my favourite track off the entire thing, but I think the best moment of the album is the three closing tracks. Just really good rock songs. Surprised and impressed. "  [+]  Reply

I think it was a pitchfork article that brought my attention to how much their music seems influenced by music of 1987, or the late 80s to be less specific. From their predilection to rock out a bit like heart or the bangles or the Jacko-like vocal tics of lead singer Este, both elements illustrated well on "forever", these girls bring the pop/rock with a splash of R&B. (Ok, check out defiant breakup song "the wire" for even more michael jacksonesque singing style and stevie nicks-like rhythm.) For this type of music, the first 4 songs are UNstoppable with an awesome display of songcraft. The rest is pretty good too, but just short of the near perfection of "falling" and "if i could change your mind" (with awesome backing vox on chorus). But DAMN -- this is their debut and a stellar debut at that. I look forward to hearing their interpretation of pop/rock circa 1990 on their next album! ;-)"  [+]  Reply

When she comes along it’s like all of a sudden a huge weight is lifted from your shoulders. From your spirit. You suddenly feel at peace. You realize that unconsciously you had felt somehow incomplete. And this incompleteness caused a striving to make things right. To correct that imbalance. And we unconsciously try to correct that incompleteness with all sorts of stuff - bad tv, drugs, becoming a workaholic, what have you! It's different for everyone. But we are trying to fill a void we didn’t even know was there. And there all kinds of ways to fill that emptiness. Like making charts. lol. Or collecting things fanatically. There’s this pressure of more and more. And then all of suddenly the right girl comes along and BAM… this huge weight is lifted. A weight you didn’t even know you were carrying. And this weight makes us feel that something’s not right. , It makes us hurried. Rushing about our day. Not settled. And when that weight is lifted, you feel this incredible sense of peace and comfort. That you are exactly in the right place and the right time. There is no where else we need to be. Nothing else we need to do. That finally you are in the right place. That you are at home. There’s a Feeling that you can do - ANYTHING! And she will still love you. Because she knows you. Really, really, knows you. And accepts your for what you are - quirks and all. Especially those quirks. She’s your cheerleader. She’s got you’re back. When you’re with her you have nothing to worry about. And that’s what this album is really all about. And what really tips it off are those instrumentals.. Tracks like “Valentine Day” and “Momma Miss america.” McCartney just doesn’t give a fuck. He’s free. Loose. Just ready to rip and have some fun. Embracing life like we all should. And it’s easy when you’re with the right girl. God knows I’ve been there. So if you find one. Find a girl that truly loves you. Someone who laughs at your jokes, can nurture you when your sick and really looks at you when you’re talking to her. That makes you feel like you’re at home. Embrace it, brothers. Settle down and make a home. Because you’re already there. WARNING!: Don’t get spoiled. Don’t expect that every woman is going to love you like that. I was blessed to be in several great relationships. Girls who loved me even when I was sick. And I took it for granted. Got those old wandering eyes. Gouge them out, brother. Gouge them out. lol. Grade: A. This album is a fun, boisterous romp through young love. It instantly brightens my day. It’s care free and easy. Because McCartney didn’t have a care in the world at this point of time. The huge pressure of expectations that were the Beatles had been lifted. He with the love of his life - “The Lovely Linda” - living on a country farm free to do whatever he wanted. And his happiness and confidence fill this record. And fill me when I listen to it. Instantly bringing in the summer and the sun. And like a wild flower after a heavy rain it shoots up my chart to number 17. Dedicated to my boy, NoisyBeast and his “Lovely Linda.” You guys are the greatest! "  [+]  Reply
