Review Summary: All in all, I would suggest to anyone who desires a method of torture for small animals do not listen to any part of Have One on Me, my dog agrees.
The harp is overdone we get it Newsom, her voice is irritating in a way that would really make Alvin and t
So maybe I missed something?
Did Pitchfork always dictate what was good, or is this a new thing?
I took the ill-advice from my comrades at PF, thinking because sometimes...well rarely but sometimes I trust in that garb I would give something a try. Joanna Newsom..wtf?
For those of your unfamiliar with Miss Newsom (you are the lucky ones) I would not suggest you give her a listen unless you liked Alvin and The Chipmunks as a lad.
I really do not understand how anyone could justify letting her have that much studio time. Two hours, two hours of Alvin and Newsom with some melodic harp. I feel in all honesty if we took out Newsom and just listened to her pick at the harp perhaps...maybe it would be worth a ten minute listen.
I simply cannot justify the three album package, if it was her intention to discourage people from moving on after the first she succeeded.
Despite reviews before the trip-album drop I'm fairly sure her sales were not a 9.2, maybe she should get a lesson from Lady Gaga? In fact, I don't see why they can't just colab sometime.
Take for example the song Baby Birch, I am sure it is supposed to evoke some evoking feelings that will make me not want to evoke vomit. But when I listened to it, without judgement the first time (Sort of because let's face it if you ever listened to the song The Sprout and The Bean you cannot like this lady [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYl0uLrXP7U] *Note that comments were disabled for this video, I don't want to insinuate anything..) I thought, maybe this will be okay. It's 9:30 long. I usually don't get antsy for a song to be over.
I don't know if anyone has ever run six miles and than thought it would be a good idea to drink Powerade before, but it's like this. You listen to the first song on Have One on Me, you think okay maybe this isn't so bad, then you listen to the album track Have One on Me and you think...this is okay like going to the dentist is okay. Then you continue listening sort of like you think it's okay to have that drink..and you end up ill.
After listening to all two hours of Have One on Me, it's fair to say I felt ill and I have no desire to ever see a harp in a odd looking womans hands again.
You can have her I'm On a Boat dude.
