Doves Review / Elvis Preview (Album 7)

(Doves preview here) Sorry about that last post. Didn't notice that I highlighted everything. Whatever. Anyways, the Doves album, is pretty awesome. I am going to have to say that I like it a lot. Sound-wise, it's as if Beck got together with Coldplay to make elevator music. That is not a bad thing, even though elevator music is considered...tacky? Or lame. The first 5 or 6 songs are mostly instrumental, with some singing, but the singing is used more as another sound or an instrument than actual lyrics or singing. Then with Catch The Sun (which sounds like this albums attempt at a single) the songs go to a more traditional songs with lyrics. The songs are very relaxing and have some really excellent sound to them. I liked the whole album, as I said.

Favorite songs:
     Sea Song
     Catch The Sun
     The Man Who Told Everything
     Break Me Gently

Now we head back a few decades for some more 50s action:

Artist: Elvis Presley

"This is not the holy grail.... Yet there is magic here, and plenty of it; certainly, revolutions have sprung from less. The white-boy "I'm Counting On You" and the jittery rumble through Ray Charles' "I Got A Woman" are an early one-two punch; near the end sits the definitive lonesome version of "Blue Moon." It is a landmark recording." - Will Fulford-Jones
