"while it does present some new sounds for Phil, they ultimately seem like a rehashing of old ideas. The last two tracks do seem to bring something new to the equation though"  Reply

Andorra might be his sunniest work, a sound that could be what Brian Wilson would broadcast from the summit of a snow-capped peak in the Pyrenees: pillow-soft harmonies over electronica with just a little bit of a jagged edge. My favorite track from this album is "Sandy," with its agreeable sleigh bells and flutes complimenting lyrics straight out of the hippies' sixties: "Twirl things around us / And the shadows they left as they found us / Or running fingers through your hair." Sigh."  [+]  Reply

"Probably his strongest release, though as with all his work, could do with just a tad more polish. Operation is his best song, a true gem in his catalogue."  Reply

"For me this is by far her best album. Diminshing returns with each one she does to the point I havnt got the last. This is when she sounded least contrived and wasn't sounding like people expect eg. Joni mitchell. Music press will tell you each one she does is better that the last."  Reply

The acoustic guitar is the most dominant instrument, which gives the numbers a crisp sound and the music in general a softer sound. The songwriting is mostly very strong, and the album contains many very fine tracks with inspiration from many different musical genres, such as folk, blues and gospel. The opening track "Shuffle Your Feet" actually contains elements from those genres, and and works fine as the starting point for the rest of the album. The title-track "Howl" is a very British sounding number - slow tempo with organ and very hymn-like. Nice number. Almost pure acoustic folk are the songs "Devil's Waiting," "Fault Line", "Restless Sinner" and "Complicated Situation" - all fine tracks, probably with the latter as the most memorable. Bob Dylan must have been part of the inspiration for these songs. "Is No Easy Way Out" is a number that could well have fitted into Led Zeppelin's third album, which was also very folk-inspired. Other songs sound very inspired by Marc Bolan and T. Rex - this applies for example, "Weight of the World," "Sympathetic Noose" - two of the album's very best - and also the final track "The Line" The very melodic side, almost ballad like, shows on numbers such as "Still Suspicion Holds You Tight" and "Promise." A different BRMC album, but perhaps their most durable. "  [+]  Reply

That's not something I can entirely fault you for as there's a lot of crap from this genre and time period that refuses to die (thanks Ed Sheeran) That said, if you're willing to overlook those connotations, Blunt has some pretty tunes in the first half of this album. Some of these are memorable pop songs from the early 2000s that I remember fondly, and I refuse to feel shame for that. "You're Beautiful" is a cute love song, "Goodbye My Lover" is probably his most popular and most hated song, but I remember getting it after it's appearance in an episode of "The Office" and listened to it a bunch as it resonated me at the time. Many of the other songs are enjoyable listens, it's not terrible background or study music. This record has it's place. It's not a groundbreaking Radiohead record that takes dozens of listens to digest and is challenging, but that doesn't mean it's talent-less trash music. In fact, outside of the level of BEA pretentiousness this is actually a well reviewed album. I'm not saying this is going to blow your mind or added anything groundbreaking to the face of music but to completely pan it as trash is an overreaction."  [+]  Reply
