5.0 out of 5 stars Pure musical genius, the absolute best!!!, March 23, 2000

Let this be your first My Dad is Dead album. This is where it all started for me. I'm 44 and I've finally found an artist that I can call my favorite by far! For recent works, try, no, buy "For Richer, For Poorer". 100% unconditionally guaranteed PERIOD! BUY THIS!

5.0 out of 5 stars Planes Crashing, August 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Taller You Are (Audio CD)

I do not know if this is my Fave MDID record, but this is probably the best one to start with and if you are a fan, you should own it. Every song on it is wrapped with intense angst-ridden lyrics delivered in such a consistently beautiful manner that you really are left hoping that this tortured sould finds a girlfriend and cheers up. I am deeply saddened that there is not a more current review. I have met the artist at a show in MPLS and he seemed as cool and approachable as his music.

(There are more than 3 songs - it's quite a long CD, actually)

MDID (Mark Edwards) writes some incredibly deep lyrics, which he lays over music so basic and simple, you wonder why no one has thought of it before! Very clean and refreshing tunes - not murked-up with a bunch of extra crap. DIY rock at its absolute finest.
