5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, September 18, 2009

By	Mickysolo (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Curse Your Branches (Audio CD)

This CD is a masterpiece. Comparable only to a few, all among the greatest singer-songwriters . The poetry of his lyrics evokes Dylan and Morrison, the range of his voice reminds me a little of Jeff Buckley. I had never heard of him or his alter ego Pedro the Lion before I heard this CD, but I will definitely seek them out now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully, melodically haunting, September 8, 2009

By	Miguel - See all my reviews

This review is from: Curse Your Branches (Audio CD)

The lyrics of this album are a fantastic display of inner struggle coupled with music that is beatifully and deceivingly simple yet wonderfully constructed and applied to each song. It has enough musical flair to individualize each song and lyrical honesty to make you sit back in your seat and be stunned. It may not be for everyone, but the glorious harmonies of "Please Baby Please" should draw in even the toughest of music critics (or non-Bazan fans).

If you're a Bazan fan, as i have been for over 10 years, i recommend this highly and consider it the best thing he's ever produced, by far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Astounding songwriting, painful topic, September 2, 2009

By	N. Dooley - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Curse Your Branches (Audio CD)

I'd never heard of David Bazan until a few weeks ago. I pre-ordered this CD, and have been overwhelmed by his artistry and honesty. He tackles the very difficult issue of breaking up with God; it's sometimes angry, sometimes wistful, sometimes confused. It really works -- sonically, lyrically, psychologically.
