Love
Nov 14 2006
Format:Audio CD
One reviewer, farther up the page, said that they could not explain the title of 'Song Against Sex,' my personal favorite track from On Avery Island. I think that if you listen to it a few times through, you might come to the same conclusion that I have: it's called 'Song Against Sex' because it is the story of someone who walks through life in pain, "Always sober/always aching," who does not want to perform the act of physical love when, in this world, it is about as far from love as he can get. It's about pain, and being lonely, and looking for things but not finding them. This is a beautiful album, and if On Avery Island doesn't make you cry, I suggest you turn up the volume--the better to catch Mangum's heartbreaking lyrics.

Format:Audio CD
This is an essential album. While it may not reach the same thematic levels of Aeroplane, this CD contains some of Jeff's best tunes (Where You'll Find Me Now, Naomi), and the most poignant and sad lyrics you're ever likely to hear (Gardenhead, You've Passed). Rob Schneider's musical contributions are good but don't compare to those on Aeroplane, despite this record featuring more instrumentation.
A powerful record you will never forget.
timeless
Jun 4 2004
Format:Audio CD
This is one of those original works of art that will never grow old. I write very few reviews, only the albums I feel are too good to miss. The music on this cd is lush and thick with fuzz and reverb. It is best listned to on a full range stereo or good headphones, playing it through a boombox will not do it justice. You have to be patient and really listen to it, this is not background music! Buy with confidence, enjoy!

Eerie
Here's the deal. If you like your lo-fi indie folk-rock with a psychedelic twist, horns and uncanny melodies underlining gorgeous, surreal lyrics, then you might be into... Read more

Go to "Island"
Though their sophomore album was a step up, "On Avery Island" is rough, ragged psychedelic rock that blasts you to the floor. Read more
