regina spektors new album!

I love regina. I got the album the first week it came out, but I haven't had a chance to really listen to it yet. I do like the new vein she's going into though. :]

 

haha cool i have no idea who it is but cool!

 

I haven't bought it yet. I heard that it's very pop. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

 

I've listened to a few previews and read some positive reviews... maybe I'll get it

 

I've been listening to it for most of today, and I think that while it's certainly great, Begin to Hope was better. There isn't as much of a sense of cohesion within Far, in that the music doesn't revolve around a strong theme like Begin to Hope did. That said, the percussion is a lot more innovative and while the vocal melodies aren't what I would call memorable, the piano riffs are just bliss. The syncopated rhythms are pretty fun as well. 4/5, I say!

 

I bought it already, and...

I freaking love it. :love:

 

lovelovelove

I think my favourite part of the whole album is the two-minute mark of Dance Anthem of the 80's where it suddenly changes, and then swells and swells. Gah.

The dolphin impression in "folding chair" kind of blindsided me though...

 

good album =)

 

I haven't heard it yet. She played at a festival here last saturday but I only had tickets for the day before - but my friends that saw her said she put on a really good show.

 

I bought it the day it came out, and pretty much every track is amazing.
