5.0 out of 5 stars I must not be too bright, November 30, 2002

Ronald Battista (Colorado Springs, CO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dare to Be Surprised (Audio CD)

Either that, or I can't tell what's cool anymore.Even at 30, I still think this is an unpolished alternative gem. Warm,lo-fi minimalist pluckings showcase introspective love bummer lyrics that chronicle the darker side of affection. Sure, it isn't radio friendly, but is that the measure of goodness? You'll get high mileage out of this CD-hard to tire of. Shoegazers take note, this is your record.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Wore This One Out, May 15, 2002

Frederick M. Segrest (Huntsville, AL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dare to Be Surprised (Audio CD)

This album is like a drug. It puts you in a euphoric trance. This album defines Lo-Fi. Every album Lou Barlow has had a hand in has gotten better and better. This one is classic, therefore One Part Lullaby is even more so. Buy them both.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than One Part Lullaby, June 14, 2002

"xris667" (Bangkok, Thailand) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dare to Be Surprised (Audio CD)

Yes, definitely One Part Lullaby made use of more instruments, but that doesn't mean that it has a better sound. If you were already a fan of the Folk Implosion, you would get bored of One Part Lullaby easily; it sounds as if trying to go mainstream. I highly recommend Dare to be Surprised because it has more of an original and lo-fi sound. Great album.
