"A NICE LITTLE SET OF TUNES" - minus the spoken word
Willie Boy | 03/11/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I don't want to discourage new Todd fans with this disc. It is not the place to start your collection of his GREAT albums... This disc deserves 3 stars, BUT Todd deserves his own star. As a BIG fan of his last album "The Devil You Know" and I mean huge fan of that album.... It is one of the best sing-along records I have. A true gem, undiscovered.... Sometimes these things can take 10-25 years before they are truly discovered and since Todd is half of that he is almost there... We Hope!

After this new cd "Peace Queer", I don't get it... I saw him live and these bits were trickled throughout the shows.. Impressive on the side, but as a full record it doesn't quite come together...

Fortunately it is a seriously reduced price disc !! BIG BOUNUS.

The actual songs are great, but the spoken word doesn't have the same affect as a live setting. Over all it is not very good, although the songs are worthy, I feel the spoken word parts take away from the flow of the disc, almost like a train wreck... Maybe that was his intention?..

Go see him live and this cd will be essential. TS is infective and you won't be denied. Though this disc does not live up to the Todd Snider legend we have all come to publicly view, it does round up the "new" stuff all in one spot, hopefully, to move on to newer better ideas.



The question is....

Should YOU buy this disc?

For the songs - YES !!

for the artwork - YES

for the cheapness - YES

for the support of an artist - YES



It really isn't that bad... It is short, but short and sweet would have been better... I really like the songs, but the wit faded on this album.

I think most fans are into his wit and charm and this new cd has neither.



It's more like an E.P. rather than a full length CD.

I have noticed a lot of artist are going back to shorter releases.

Can't blame them though, it aint easy to write and compose songs.



Take out the spoken word and keep the songs and you've got yourself

a nice little set of tunes.....



That is probably a better title.



"A NICE LITTLE SET OF TUNES" minus the spoken word



Recommended, for fun

Highly Recommended, If you already own his other albums"
