5.0 out of 5 stars Pristine Pop, September 22, 2001

By

This review is from: Honey Lingers (Audio CD)

While their debut LET IT BEE was an auspicious pop intro peppered with a little power punk, HONEY LINGER chooses to focus on the "pop" more than the "punk", and in the process the sisters Belland produce a sophomore effort that artistically supercedes its' predecessor. Comparisons the girls garnered to the B-52s on the first album continue here, though as one reviewer said it would be doing the sisters a disservice to compare them to anyone--they definately march to the beat of their own drum. Would-be pop classics abound here, from the opening 'Monsters and Angels' to the closing 'A Perfect Place', with nary a misstep. In between, the sardonic wit exibited in their previous work is front and center, especially on charmingly goofy tracks like 'Adonis Blue' and 'Look At Me'. The failure by many to categorize their music ultimately hurt them, I think, which is a shame because this was one of the best pop albums to come out of the early nineties. If you want further proof, just go to track three--who else could cover David Cassidy's bubblegum anthem 'I Think I Love You' and actually make it sound like a great song?

4.0 out of 5 stars As good as Let It Bee!, July 27, 2000

I actually discovered this VOTB recording before Let It Bee, but I love them both! Just as cynical, just as catchy, 'Honey' offers more spicy than sweet, but that's what the group is good at! I must disagree with the reviewer who doesn't like "Shooting Cupid" and "Say It" - those are two of my favorite tracks! I remember thinking "Cupid" would have made a great un-Valentine music video from the group! Maybe I'm as cynical as the girls are on this, but I think they're right on target with that track! The songs go up and down from start to finish - fast and slow, ballads to pop, but always listenable and always with something to say. Even David Cassidy's "I Think I Love You" gets new life the way they belt it out! Always a pleasant diversion - very underrated!

Voice of the beehive are all that fluff and the magical things (that artists like tori amos turn dark) that make being alive feel great. sugary lyrics and great harmonies esp. on monsters and angels and just like you. my favorite is perfect place...a beautiful song about changing the world for the better...this album will have you walking in the clouds...i also recommend the other two..let it bee and sex and misery which has the infectious scary kisses song....
