5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECTION!!, March 30, 2004

By

This review is from: Imperfection (Audio CD)

for a band that has had so many line-up changes, they have kept their sound fresh but yet still keep it sounding like Real Life.
As a fan from the begining, i have to say that this is probably their best album. this cd can be listened to from track 1 thru track 11 without skipping over any songs. i really cant pick a favorite, as all the tracks here stand up on their own. however, if i had to, id say that "imperfection","beautiful thing" and "oblivion" are the strongest. the remixes on disc 2 are very club friendly. my favorite on that disc has to be "God Tonight"- but that has always been my favorite Real Life song. I originally bought this cd last fall from the Real life web site, but i have to thank a different drum for releasing this great cd in the usa, because good music in america is rare and these bands like real life should be heard by more people. maybe now they will be

Real Life continues to impress me with tight song writing combined with a creative electronic backbone that I have come to depend on. This 2 CD set is chock full of great songs and ingenious musical twists. I don't leave home without it.

After recently obtaining Happy and subsequently falling in absolute LOVE with it, I could not wait for this newest release. I'm happy to say it does not disappoint. Granted, I don't like it quite as much as Happy, but I really didn't think there was any way Happy could be topped. Imperfection may not be perfect, but it's pretty dang close. The first three tracks are irresistable dance numbers that really make you move. The rest of the album, however, pretty much sticks to a midtempo formula, which isn't necessarily bad, but leaves you wanting maybe one or two more danceable tracks. The only track I dislike is "Kamikaze." It sounds a little too much like it's title. It's decent - just not great. All the others, though, are wonderful, my favorite being the single, "Oblivion." One of the things I like most about Real Life is their ability to write ultra-catchy songs that are easy to sing along to after only a couple listens. At first I wished that the songs had a darker tone like that on Happy. But after a few listenings (and reading some of the lyrics), I realized that the darkness is still there - it's just a bit more subtle. Many of the songs have almost a sarcastic quality, "Celebrate" showcasing this brilliantly ("half the world is suicidal and everybody is in denial / celebrate / celebrate"). Pick up Imperfection and Happy as soon as possible. They are not to be missed.
