Music reviews of Third/Sister Lovers
Music Review: Ship's a goin' down, ship's a goin' down...
Rating: 3 Stars
This is the sound of a band dissolving before your ears, a band that decided to go out with not with a bang but with a fizzle. Ah but what a fizzle it is. It's truly timeless as other reviewers have pointed out. Timeless in that if you heard this thing without any foreknowledge you'd be surprised to find out it was recorded in 1974. But it's oddly incomplete and offhand sounding. Auteur Alex Chilton has lost his band and he's none too happy about it to the point where he sounds like he's beyond caring. Sister Lovers is beautiful in its own sparse and shambolic way but if you want to hear something a bit more cheery I suggest putting on some Radiohead. Big Star chose to go gently into that good night on a raft of despair, without hope and with precious little rock.
Description of Third/Sister Lovers
By the mid-'70s, Alex Chilton's glistening pure-pop group Big Star had hit the rocks, ignored by the public and beset by internal problems. Chilton, backed mostly by session musicians playing both rock and chamber-music instruments, responded with this wracked, bizarre collection of deeply personal songs, venting oblique visions of terror (the much-covered "Kanga Roo" and "Holocaust"), sarcastically envisioning an imaginary circle of supporters ("Thank You Friends"), and covering the odd rock & roll classic in his messed-up teen-idol voice. The album was eventually abandoned and released in unfinished form years later, but the weird gaps in its arrangements make it even stranger and more powerful. --Douglas WolkGeneral CDs
