Artist: BOOKS genre: Popular Music product type: Compact Disc Release Date: 22-FEB-2011 Returns Accepted?: Yes Following up their hugely acclaimed debut, Thought For Food, The Lemon of Pink was the album that cemented the Books as a pioneering musical force. It would become their biggest-selling album (a feat usurped only by the recently released The Way Out), and still stands as perhaps the most beloved album in the Books' unfailingly brilliant catalog. As with the recently reissued Thought For Food, The Lemon of Pink is repackaged with dazzling new artwork and expanded to include lyrics for every song for the first time ever.
The Lemon of Pink is very nice and soothing. After your existential feathers have been ruffled or randomized, these quirky electronic and collage sounds, and Anne Doerner's raspy & gasping vocals will pet and smooth you back into place.
I do like experimental music, but this is just extremely unpleasant to listen to. It is so chopped up, with in some cases very repetitive samples (where one clip will repeat over and over within one song, like a person's voice or a snip of that) that it really almost sounds like something is defective. I should say that there are definitely some songs that are worse than others, and there are a few that are listenable, but the previews make it hard to judge because..
