Roxette – Charm School : Album Reviews

Roxette certainly know the formula, as they should – they’ve had 25 years to learn it. On Charm School, their first album in a decade, every song sits comfortably within the two-and-a-half to four minute regulation pop song length. Soft verses are followed by loud choruses. There are a few ballads in there, presumably to show their sensitive side. But how does it stack up to the cheesy Roxette we all remember?

I wouldn’t call myself a Simian Mobile Disco aficionado, but after loving Audacity of Huge to death (though, later realizing it was probably Chris Keating of Yeasayer’s influence that thrilled me so), I was optimistic prior to hitting play and letting SMD’s new album Delicacies wow me.

Where do you stand on the issue? Do we take the money and do what we can with it – or do we wallow down the shallow end of the film making pool because “Ma & Pa Australia” won’t give us as much pocket money as the Hollywood cool kids?

Oh Mercy – Great Barrier Grief : Album Reviews
February 24, 2011 by Nick Mason
Filed under Album Reviews, Music

Great Barrier Grief, the sophomore release from Melbourne-based Oh Mercy, is pleasant, breezy, and polished. The record opens with a nice steady foot-tapping drums-and-marimba beat, and a nice warm jangly guitar sound, both of which are, well…pleasant, breezy and polished! Alexander Gow’s low-key vocals, a touch reminiscent of Gomez’s Ian Ball, are definitely pleasant, breezy and polished. The record then continues to be pleasant, breezy and polished for the next 38 minutes, and then it stops.
