When a dude that I was making out with the other week put on Liam Finn's debut album I'll Be Lightening, I took pause. Was he putting on an album with lyrics like "girl you seemed so nice, but I'll be gone by morning time," and "well I honestly don't remember who you are" to send me a message or was this just what he'd been listening to lately? Because most people don't overanalyze every little thing in life, I assume it's likely the latter, but in the end that's neither here nor there. What is here and there is that despite its heavy and confusing lyrics, this album (that I had previously ignored because I was busy listening to Bon Iver) is actually pretty great. Loose heavy bass lines and thick lyrics make for a good time that I definitely recommend. Also, the internets tells me that Finn is the son of Neil Finn of Crowded House, which is neat because I have an odd attachment to "Don't Dream It's Over." Huzzah trivia. Huz-zah.Rating: 72%
When I hear "Don't Dream It's Over" all I can think of are the many Austrailian camp counselors from my youth... Crowded House is the shizz.
ReplyDeleteI always think of the tv miniseries version of The Stand because it's in that movie, which is actually pretty good. But I do have a bias opinion because I love the tv miniseries format.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I rated this higher than Bon Iver. NO.
