my very first album review here. actually i was wanting to write up about jagged little pill instead, but then decided to move on to charlotte gainsbourg's irm, but then reading life yesterday, i got interested in this album, the fool.
this album tells me exactly what i like about pschedelic rock - the dizzying layers of instruments. and then in between these layers you can hear some sort of trancy vocal trying to enchant you even more. but most of the tracks on the album seem to have their vocals drowned out, or simply they were too soft to be as useful as it should be, save for "shadows" and "baby".
the psychedelic nature of the fool also reminds me of a recent album review i did on animal collective's merriweather post pavilion, which i gave a full 5.00. the fool doesnt have as strong a mind-manifesting power as merriweather post pavilion. maybe that's the fool's losing point.
but overall, this album is very enjoyable especially if you want to escape reality through music. and its much better than taking psychedelic mushrooms.
anyway, merry xmas...
