![]() Songs $19.95 As a previous reviewer noted (albeit nastily), this album doesn't work well for those who are not into Regina's music: one person's nuance and allusion is another person's pretension. "Sparse" is probably the best word to characterize the songs on "Songs", as I think none of them has any more than her voice and piano. The post-production is pretty much non-existent, and there are some songs where the emotion trumped perfection in the recording. Altogether though, I really like this album. I would view it as more of a way of completing your Regina Spektor collection rather than starting in on it. (PS: there are places around the 'Net where this album can be found new. Think of the fact that Regina was Indie before Soviet Kitsch; where would an indie artist sell her CDs?) ![]() Don't Download This Song (Main Version) $0.99 Not a huge fan of Weird Al but this is a funny song. Worth downloading for free. ![]() Revelation Song $0.99 This truly is a worship song that pulls the best out of my heart to worship the Almighty God. What a joy! I play it over and over again, and have printed the words so my husband can learn it as well. All I can say is "Wonderful, wonderful...Praise His Name." |
