Absolutely Addicting...., Feb 24 2004
This review is from: Owen (Audio CD)
WOW, this album is beautiful. The acoustic work, soft and gentle voice of Mike, clever and honest lyrics that actually mean something. My favorite song on this album if I had to pick one is "Dead Mean Don't lie" however I never listen to it without listening to the entire album. The album is simply addicting, everyone that I've introduced Owen to has thanked me, a gentle, mellow, soft, and beautiful album. This is a must have, at least for me it is

Mike Kinsella does it Again, Dec 8 2003
This review is from: Owen (Audio CD)
Mike Kinsella has been making waves since the days of drumming for Joan of Arc with brother Tim, but since forging out on his own with projects such as Owls and American Football, one would have high standards for Kinsella's new solo project Owen. The definition of this solo recorded CD takes on a new meaning, here it means that Kinsella wrote and played the music for every instrument, and also recorded and produced the entire CD by himself. Songs that rank the highest among the CD include 'Dead Men Don't Lie', or the two part song (which he does a few times on this album) 'Places to Go' leading into 'Think About It'. Although many critics are claiming Owen to be what American Football would sound like today had they not disbanded, yet Owen's sound is not as jazz-orientated as American Football, and therefore truley takes on a sound of its own. If you're looking for melodic acoustic guitaring and melancholy, sweet sounding singing, look no further than Owen.

A Beautiful Album, Mar 30 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Owen (Audio CD)
This album is absolutely amazing. From the moment I placed this in my CD player, I could feel calmness and peace fill my soul as his soft notes and voice filled my room . This is the perfect "emo" CD. This album contains some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. If you're looking for a mellow/emotional sound, then you MUST definitely check out this album. The guitar work is intricate, the vocals are soft, and the lyrics are clever and sincere. This album is amazingly beautiful and anyone who actually knows what music is, and can be, will appreciate it's melody and honest, heart-felt beauty.
