5.0 out of 5 stars
A good album,
By A Customer
This review is from: Time Travel Is Lonely (Audio CD)
The first time I reviewed this album I only gave it 4 stars. It took me awhile to realize what an amazing piece of work it is. Its now my favorite album in my collection, and John Vanderslice is by far my favorite artist. I'm actually shocked I only gave it so few stars but my mistake highlights what a complicated intricate record Time Travel Is Lonely is. Its something hard to appreciate in just one listen. John Vanderslice is by far one of the best musicians currently opperating in the indie rock world. He is a brilliant song writer (and from everything I have heard, an incredibly nice guy to boot!) While all three of his releases are awesome, Time Travel is Lonely, is by far, his best. The album reflects it's title, the sound is somewhat lonely, in many cases distant and longing. These feelings are reflected in both the lyrics and the music. Many tracks are layered with thick guitars, samples, and keyboards. While it does have its "rocking" moments, overall Time Travel is Lonely is a mellower album. I find it the perfect thing to listen to when I am studying...it has enough energy to keep me from falling asleep, but I never find myself so distracted by it that I can't concentrate. Star singles from this track include: You Were my Fiji, Time Travel is Lonely, My Old Flame, and Everything Changed.

great stuff,

I heard a JV song on this Internet radio station (3wk.com, who Amazon should have a business relationship with because all I do is hear music there and come buy it here) and loved it. Got the CD and this thing is just unstoppable. Great, great album. JV has a great sense of melody and a great sense of humor. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars
best record of 2001,
By jordan whitman (Los Feliz, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Time Travel Is Lonely (Audio CD)
I saw Vanderslice with Spoon at the troubadour with Spoon over the summer. I was toally blown away by the live show so I bought a cd. You know how often these thing disappoint you...Well I have listened to this record about 200 times since then. I rank it up there with Grandaddy, Badly Drawn Boy, and Kid A.
