Music reviews of Passionoia
Music Review: Where are the lyrics?
Rating: 5 Stars
Like REM, Black Box Recorder seem to have a tradition of not having the lyrics in their album inlays. I had to print the lyrics for their two previous albums off of the Internet, but I can't seem to find the full lyrics for this new album which is really a shame because lyrics are essential with this band. This is the only complaint I have, though. Passionoia is pretty similar to Black Box Recorder's previous album, The Facts Of Life, so if you enjoyed it you'll love this. As usual, the sharp writing team of Haines & Moore keep exploring the beauty of the United Kingdom with an ever-present edge of irony & observation. Here they focus on the country's obsession with the royal family, the death of Princess Diana & rich celebrities. "These Are The Things" was a clever choice for a first single & it's entirely our loss that it didn't get any exposure. "Andrew Ridgley" evokes sweet memories from the 1980's (even if you didn't like Wham!). Basically all of the songs are equally good so I don't wanna do a song by song review as the album is really short & sweet & I want my review to reflect that. Buy this if you like The Facts Of Life, Britpop or Britain in general.

Description of Passionoia
Third album from sleaze-pop ironists featuring erstwhile Auteurs mastermind Luke Haines. This follow-up to 2000's 'The Facts of Life' has a more uptempo, electronic feel than before, subversively coating sugary pop over the bitter cynicism of the lyrics. Features a tribute to Wham heartthrob Andrew Ridgely as well as the single 'These Are The Things'. One Little Indian. 2003.Alternative Rock CDs
