Average Rating:
 Rating: - Definite growerAfter being thoroughly disappointed with Rilo Kiley's last album I approached this with some trepidation. Thankfully this turned out to be a good listen - not immediate but a definite 'grower' after a few plays. Songs such as 'Pretty Bird' and 'Godspeed' are gorgeous, for example. I've even grown to quite like Elvis Costello's contribution to 'Carpetbaggers' which at first struck me as rough and too raw. Now I think I think it fits the song. All in all, worth a listen. Jenny Lewis is a talented writer and singer - one wonders why she needs Rilo any more as this is far superior. I do agree with the reviewer about the cover - it is shockingly bad considering the quality of the contents. No stars for that! Rating:  - Not as good as the last"Not what the last album was" I've waited a while to review this album, in the hope that it would be a real grower. It's alright, in fact it's got a couple of great songs on it, not least Jack Killed Mom which is a classic. But it's not anywhere the classic album that the last one was. I couldn't get enough of the first album, it was in my cd player for about a year. This has been in my cd player simply because it was Jenny Lewis. Sadly the song Acid Tongue sounds like a rehash of Born Secular, which was a great song. The entire album sorely lacks the magic of the Watson Twins backing vocals. The instrumental work doesn't seem as inspired or as well arranged as the last album either. As for Carpetbaggers, a great song ruined by ... Read More: Rating: - "That difficult second album" syndrome strikesJenny Lewis deserves credit for trying to not just replicate "Rabbit Fur Coat" and as other reviewers have noted this is rockier in its overall outlook. And her voice is still excellent. Sadly however, the songs just aren't as good and the album is lacking something overall. The best songs come in a row in the middle: See Fernando, Godspeed and Carpetbaggers,her duet with Elvis Costello. Elsewhere however there are just fairly average efforts, with a couple of songs sounding like they are attempts to cash in on the Isobel Campbell/Mark Lanegan market. The title track sounds like a poor rewrite of Born Secular from "Rabbit Fur Coat" and Badman's World is just tedious. All the way through the album one thing seemed to ... Read More: Rating: - Great music, but the packaging - really!!Jenny Lewis' follow up to the fabulous Rabbit Fur Coat. On first listen, it doesn't live up to its predecessor, nor Lewis' 4 albums with Rilo Kiley. However, repeated listens uncover a diverse selection of songs, with several guest vocalists, most prominently one with Elvis Costello appearing on one of the stand out songs, Carpetbaggers. Attention must be drawn however to the packaging - it really is dire with the sleeve being exactly what you would expect from a DVD or CD giveaway with a newspaper. I've nothing against cardboard covers per se - REM's Accelerate being an example of it done well but this is well below that standard. Call me shallow, but if I'm buying a CD, I'd like something more substantial than the sleeve provided with ... Read More: Rating:  - This Time It's Personal (4.5 Stars)Jenny Lewis the front woman of the amazing Rilo Kiley now and then ventures off out on her own and crafts beautiful projects like her solo debut "Rabbit Fur Coat" which she,along with the equally alluring Watson Twins tantalised us her honest lyrics and beautiful voice making you fall blissfully in love with her. "Acid Tongue" is her second effort as a solo artist which pretty much picks up where her last record left us and quenches your Jenny Lewis thirst almost without even trying. 1.Black Sand - I felt was the only song that really falls totally short, and for her I found this was pretty weak lyrically, vocally she sounds great singing in a higher pitch than usual, It's good but I just feel theres too much repetition, not to say ...
