Product Description
From Amazon.com
Three albums into Tegan & Sara's career, it's still somehow necessary to get a couple of facts about them out of the way before diving into their latest offering. They are, yes, identical twin lesbians, and they do occupy the space--more like a vacuum, really--between the riot-grrl menace of Sleater-Kinney and the un-fun folk of Indigo Girls. That out of the way, So Jealous is the duo's best disc yet, meriting more than the mainstream notice that has so far evaded it. All the components are in place: a beyond synthy, full-throttle band, including John Collins and David Carswell of New Pornographers, and songwriting so honest as to make a person--any person--check to make sure no one has been snooping in her diary ("I won't mistake you for problems with me/I won't let my moods ruin this you'll see," from "I Won't Be Left"). The vibe is early-80s pop-punky (Tegan & Sara's singing can sound like Missing Persons' minus the squeals) spiked with a rock'n'roll edge--if the title track were noisier, it might sound at home on a Yeah Yeah Yeahs disc. Destined for hugeness, if only in indie circles for now, Tegan & Sara provide something crucial for pop princesses to be So Jealous of, and that's genuine talent. --Tammy La Gorce

They are growing up,
By Datura (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: So Jealous Uni #'s (Audio CD)
Being a fan since "The business of art" their first major album, its fun to hear their voices grow up. What I liked about So Jealous the most is the melding of the two previous sounds, the more punk "If It Was You" and the folk/rock of "The Art of Business" its creates a sound that is unique to these sisters, which is what music is about. The lyrics are simple yet always stick out and seem to take you into their world. Overall, this is a must buy, the best album of 2004 so far for me personally.

Canadian Duo does it again!,
By A Customer
This review is from: So Jealous Uni #'s (Audio CD)
I've been a fan of Tegan and Sara since their first album, Under Feet Like Ours. I've followed them through This Business of Art, If It Was You, and now onto So Jealous. With each release Tegan and Sara have taken things to a new and different level. So Jealous has such a great mix of slower songs for a quiet night, and songs that you just can't help but move your body to. For me, Tegan and Sara are one of the best bands that you've never heard before, and this album takes them one step closer to being an album that everyone is talking about. Their live shows are equally as impressive as their album, and if you have the chance, you should definitey pick up a ticket when they are in your area!

Canada's best kept musical secret....,
By A Customer
This review is from: So Jealous Uni #'s (Audio CD)
'So Jealous' is, without a doubt, Tegan and Sara's most solid release to date. From their first release 'This Business of Art' to 'So Jealous', their music has done nothing but evolve. No matter what your musical preference, you'll come to enjoy the catchy melodies and lyrics the Canadian sisters offer up. If you get a chance to see them perform live, do it because their music and on-stage banter is highly entertaining.
