LOVER'S END

"Lover's End"? Well its certainly not bad album or boring. The vocals are definitely beautiful. So whats wrong with "Lover's End"? This album just lacks that feeling of great progressive music. Much of "Lover's End" is just one large melodious ballad. Now don't get me wrong, Moon Safari did put some great tracks into this album like A Kid Called Panic. This song does a much better job of incorporating the vocals into the progressive music and adding a whole lot of emotion. A Kid Called Panic also reminds me of Moon Safari's previous album "Blomljud''. Blomljud focused more on the progressive rock and less on the harmonies (with the exception of Bluebells and A Tale of Three and the Tree). So I'm hoping that "Lover's End" is just a test for Moon Safari, seeing how far they can go on their harmonies. I'm hoping that Moon Safari's next album will go back to the good old, more progressive sound they had in "Blomljud. Maybe I might change my mind eventually, but for now it's a rounded up 3 1/2 stars! By no means is this mainstream pop or an upsetting album. But it's not quite essential.

Ps- For all you reviewers that said Moon Safari sounds like The Beach Boys I kind of disagree. Much more of a Beatles sound!
