5.0 out of 5 stars Shimmering narcissistic pop, April 6, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: In Girl Trouble (Audio CD)

It's gorgeous, it's silly, it's sweet, and it's got enough crunch to kick a little ass. Sparks, Bryan Ferry, Ad Frank. I just wish I'd seen his live show featuring Jacque Brel tunes.

This review is from: In Girl Trouble (Audio CD)

In a perfect world, a world where musical taste ruled and merit, not moolah, drove the pop charts, Ad Frank would be selling out stadiums. He makes fun addictive, pop that is smart but not self-indulgent, complex but not complicated, and generally better than all those sad sacks and neutered punks on your MTV. It's tight four-piece rock with some synths here and there, and gleefully depressing lyrics (just look at the song titles) dished out in Frank's distinctive, articulately barbed voice. This album is his most immediately accessible - both the recent 'world's best ex-boyfriend' and the earlier 'mr. fancypants' are little more jagged and, in the case of the former, a bit downtempo. But don't worry, you'll buy them once you've listened through this album and find yourself needing to know more about this embarassingly clever songwriter.
