It's sad when an album this good doesn't even receive negative reviews, it's just forgotten. But to you, the one person who happened upon the this listing by accident, thinking you were going to find a Josh Hartnett movie-THIS IS YOUR LUCKY DAY!
"Wicker Park" is a great snapshot of the 90's alternative sound that is reminiscent of Bush and Oasis with the pop sensibilities of Weezer.
A well rounded album, the songs range from fuzz guitar laden tracks, to accoustic and piano with strings. The lyrics tend to tell stories, that really drag you into the life of the subjects.
Here's a review of each song:
-"Hey, Longhair": This is the most alternative track, a lot of fuzz guitar and feedback, it's kind of a slow, droning rocker.
-"I'll Keep You Warm": A bouncy accoustic/piano song about trying to show your love to a "Jaded Cinderella".
-"Discover": This was their single that never made it, they actually had a music video for it too that looked like the images on the album cover. It's another alternative classic with a fuzzed-out, upbeat riff.
-"What Are You Waiting For": A mellow rocker, with a lot of emotion behind the lyrics, especially during the chorus.
-"For You": Has a catchy, bluesy riff and great lyrics such as "Suck you like a vampire...kissed you like a cowboy." Definitely a highlight.
-"Don't Despair": My personal favorite. Like Oasis meets the Wallflowers, it's kind of psychedelic as it talks about the unglamorous side of the L.A. party scene throught he eyes of a model.
-"Hey 17": This was the B-side to the "Discover" single, it's a poppy piano and strings song about picking up the pieces after a breakup.
-"Motorcyle": A straight ahead rocker about takin' off.
-"You Know Who You Are": A slow song about a girl in "thrift store clothes", that's about it.
-"Magic Lantern": Another slow one, with some good ambience.
-"Another Star": A high-tempo rocker about space-travelling girl with a "laser gun stashed in your boot, intergalactic ninja fur". Great!
-"Grand Arrival": A sad, but beautiful song about a suicide.
-"Wicker Park": The extra track, it's a trippy, piano/synth song about going for a night out and making your own rules.
Really a solid album, that is unique enough to sound classic, not dated.
I highly recommend buying this album, especially since you can basically get it for free (.01) and just pay for the shipping.
