Music reviews of Noble Beast / Useless Creatures (Deluxe Edition)
Music Review: reflexively brilliant!
Rating: 5 Stars
As with Bird's previous albums, including Armchair Apocrypha and the Mysterious Production of Eggs, the lyrics and melodies of Noble Beast's tracks are intelligent, magical and playful. Double and triple entendres continue to unfold, even in connection with words that aren't real but somehow make sense anyway. The vocals are dreamlike and strings sublime. I LOVE this stuff. Bird's music is brilliant while still being impossibly catchy and fun.
Anonanimal may be my new favorite, with cool segues that hit the spot perfectly and had me involuntarily dancing around the house ....
I rarely purchase extra/bonus tracks, but couldn't resist the ones made available by Andrew Bird here. Useless Creatures is populated by instrumental works that again reveal Bird's raw genius - and it rocks! Carrion Suite is reminiscent of symphonic ballads like Prokofiev's Peter & the Wolf, but without the narration and more exotic, sexy and modern. Nyatiti is so alive and contagious.
The only trouble is that the music of *other* artists - with the possible exception of a few folks like Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood and Jeff Tweedy -- seems so flat/two-dimensional compared to the countless dimensions in which Bird's music thrives.
This album is worth every penny, and then some. So lucky to have this as part of the soundtrack of life.
