4.0 out of 5 stars Pollard's most consistent offering, December 26, 2006

Steve Curtis (Topeka, Kansas United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Normal Happiness (Audio CD)

I was initially disappointed my first couple of listens through this CD. But, I kept coming back to it because of "Boxing About" and 'Pegasus Glue Factory." Now, I can't stop listening. Just a wonderful set of tunes! Give it some time and perhaps you, too, will find this to be most satisfying!

4.0 out of 5 stars Subtly impressive, November 6, 2006

Brian Conley (Hebron, KY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Normal Happiness (Audio CD)

This album full of "pop songs" has precious few recognizable choruses and one of Bob's most understated vocal performances on record. What it does have is a meandering, complex style that is as likely to baffle as to entertain. Underneath the whirl of bizarre chord changes there are some really great songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Normal Happiness, October 11, 2006

D Mack - See all my reviews

This review is from: Normal Happiness (Audio CD)

The second release in a calender year, and it's better than the first! If you are a newcomer to Robert Pollard, I'd suggest this or Speak Kindly Of Your Volunteer Fire Department. Also out there from Merge/Luna is Moon. Live from mostly FaCE, it is probably the best live cd ever.
