This review is from: Thing a Week Four (Audio CD)
Thing a week four by Jonathan Coulton is an enjoyable and interesting CD which combines clever lyrics with catchy tunes that once listened to, you will find hard to get out of your head. The CD has a few well known songs of his on, like "Creepy Doll" and a few songs which i have never heard outside of this album which are really good. It's worth the money to buy if you enjoy his music. Jo Co is a very good song writer and worth listening to for something that is a bit different. For more of his up to date songs it is worth checking out his new album, "Artificial Heart" which has the songs from Portal and Portal 2.

The king of "geek pop" hits it out of the park,

This review is from: Thing a Week Four (Audio CD)
If Jonathan Coulton were an animal like the ones he sings about, he would be on the endangered species list. While I have heard others compare him to Cake or They Might Be Giants, I find any comparison to another artist to fall flat. "JoCo" writes about geeky things like robots, monkeys, and zombies. But he also writes songs about middle class angst, fatherhood, and alienation. And what really sets him apart is that regardless of what he's writing about, the songs are filled with heart. So much heart, in fact, that I often find myself moved to an emotional response during some silly song I should be (and am) laughing at.
All of the "Thing a Week" albums are fantastic, but this one is really the pinnacle. I think JoCo had conjured a tremendous amount of "Song Fu" in the first three releases, and this one is truly the work of a master. From the ridiculous (Under the Pines) to the sublime (I'm Your Moon), this album is beautiful, longing, absurd, funny, and heartbreaking. What more could you possibly want?
