CD Reviews

Good on it's own
Sarah Shoemaker | WA state | 05/27/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"It is clear to me that some other reviewers have neglected to see the movie and thus nullify their own opinions. Enough said on that.
I felt that this was a very solid CD from start to finish. All of the songs flowed one to the other and made sense.--Especially if you saw the film (though I didn't particularly like it). B&S are apt to tell stories as it is--listen to any song and you'll understand what I mean. I must say that I have a great fondness for B&S and may be inclined to like this a tad more; however, after DCW I can see that my loyalty is not blind. This really is a good album.
Some may feel that it drug along or that it was boring, et cetera. I thought it was beautiful, and I'm sure I'm not alone. The instrumental F*ck this Sh*t was one of my favorites--and I loved Sarah's Storytelling.--By the way, Sarah is no faux Isobel as some have said. Sarah is Sarah and she's in the band and Isobel is out.
I would not buy this album if you are not patient. I would not buy it if you thought Boy With The Arab Strap was the end all. I would not buy it as a first glimpse of B&S. I do recommend buying it if you love B&S--or can appreciate beauty."
Only one good song here

"And that would be the title track, which is very catchy and one of their best songs. It plays during the end credits; as for the rest of the album it mostly filler and hardly deserving to be called Belle & Sebastian. I hate that the opening credit music isn't included on this cd. They also should have had the exchange between Vi and Mr. Scott on here (yeah, you know which one I'm talking about...)"
I LOVE B&S, But...

"Listen, I've bought everything they ever made, I've been to at least one show a year since I started listening to them, I know the words to pretty much all their songs, but... but... but...



This record was a disaster.



Everything associated with this project - the movie, the music - is just plain bad. Ok, ok, there's one good song here, "Black and White Unite" ... ummm... actually, it's just only an okay song, and that's mainly because the rest of the material is so very weak. Honestly, when this came out I thought "Well, that does it for our brave Scottish laddies (erm, and girls or whatever)," but thank god they've managed to do lots of good stuff since.



I can't recommend it. At all. And I REALLY LIKE them."
