If you messed w/the color of the picture in photoshop, it would be a perfect Belle & Sebastian cover.

xp You could never imagine an album cover with Scarlett Johansson that ugly.

Why didn't she record an album of Mansun covers?
― Dingbod Kesterson, Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:37 (sixteen years ago) link
It looks like one of those cuet young classical virtuoso albums.

Somebody else listen to this and tell me how awful it is. I kinda like Scar-Jo but seriously Tom Waits' songs? You fucking bitch.
― nickalicious, Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:40 (sixteen years ago) link
Imagine if she did a Fishbone covers set...
― C. Grisso/McCain, Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:43 (sixteen years ago) link
she should do "babyhead"
― chaki, Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:44 (sixteen years ago) link
I was hoping she'd do a Tim Dog covers album.
― Dom Passantino, Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:44 (sixteen years ago) link
hahah. mansun covers.
― Charlie Howard, Thursday, 27 March 2008 17:25 (sixteen years ago) link
Okay, I might be down with a Scar-Jo "Warmth of Your Breath".
― nickalicious, Thursday, 27 March 2008 17:28 (sixteen years ago) link
I actually kind of like the song that was posted from pitchfork. Does that make me a bad person? Its really dreamy and she can't sing but it almost doesn't matter.
― jonathan - stl, Tuesday, 22 April 2008 03:48 (sixteen years ago) link
I can't help but compare her to Chloë Sevigny, who has real taste.

I kind of like some of what I've heard so far. I'm actually looking forward to hearing the whole album.

I listened to youtube clips of her songs. Her voice is great. But you'd rather just assume it's awful, ignore the easy links to the music, and post snarky comments.

Just got offered a promo of this. Not sure what I think of the project, but I'm definitely willing to give it a shot for free.

what?
― RabiesAngentleman, Wednesday, 23 April 2008 07:26 (sixteen years ago) link
"anywhere i lay me head" (the track) is quite ok. she is not the best singer in the world,so it's good sitek buried her voice in the mix, but it has nice melancholic atmosphere with the production. not that im going to listen to it again,but u might say sitek saved her here.
― Zeno, Wednesday, 23 April 2008 08:46 (sixteen years ago) link
sorry to be bumping this but I just heard her cover of Boys Don't Cry and its possibly the worst thing I've ever heard
― sonderangerbot, Sunday, 20 July 2008 02:00 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm really into this album, but maybe because I quite dislike Tom Waits and I like JAMC.
― I know, right?, Sunday, 20 July 2008 19:05 (fifteen years ago) link
I dunno, it's produced well enough but her vocal performances are pretty lackluster
― Hurting 2, Sunday, 20 July 2008 19:25 (fifteen years ago) link
Guys I have to admit, this is pretty fucking good for a covers album.
― stephen, Saturday, 9 August 2008 06:16 (fifteen years ago) link
The liner notes with Sitek comparing the atmosphere to an old 4AD record are, surprisingly, spot on.

Dare I say...
This album > Return to Cookie Mountain

does this count as mainstream horseshit though? horseshit surely (IMHO!!!) but I didn't know it was that successful otherwise
― sonderangerbot, Wednesday, 19 November 2008 21:56 (fifteen years ago) link
I've encountered Whiney on numerous message boards and he is one of the absolute worst cases of "I listen to mainstream horseshit in a thinly-veiled attempt to separate myself from you Pitchfork-listeners" there is. I encountered a bunch of these dudes back when Britney Spears' "Toxic" came out.― Reatards Unite, Wednesday, November 19, 2008 4:47 PM (11 minutes ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

Pitchfork-endorsed albums that came out this year that I'll totally rep for: Gang Gang Dance, Jay Reatard, Marnie Stern, TV On The Radio, Fuck Buttons, Lindstrom, Harvey Milk, Vivian Girls.
Cute try, though.

agree it's a mixed bag, not a great album in any traditional sense
but like Lulu I think ultimately it succeeds as a weird but also weirdly moving, weirdly awesome album

"Falling Down" is good. I feel like she should be collaborating with Italians Do It Better folks instead of Pete Yawn
