Music reviews of Haunted
Music Review: Musically, lyrically and conceptually...
Rating: 5 Stars
...this album is a masterpiece.
Hands down, no questions asked! I have owned this album since 2001 (I know Amazon says the original release date was 2004, but that is incorrect), having first heard "Walk the Walk" on the Internet and being in awe of just that one song ~ and making that song my own, personal life anthem. After eight years and two well-worn copies, it is an album that I listen to on a weekly basis, and once it's in my CD player, it stays there for days on end, and it occupies the #1 spot on my all-time favorite albums list ~ which is quite a feat in my book. If I were trapped on a desert island, this album is an absolute must-have for me.
Over the years, I kind of cherry picked my favorite songs, as they meant different things to me at different points in my life, and it wasn't until last year (if you can believe that) that I actually listened to it from start to finish, listening to the bits of dialogue in between, without hitting the skip button at some point. And that's when the deeper meaning of this album really sank in, creating a personal bond with this album that is unrivaled by any other. Today, I wouldn't even DREAM of hitting that skip button.
Conceptually, the album is unlike anything I've ever heard. It's wrought with emotion; anger, sadness, rebellion, acceptance, and finally, peace. For me, it's been my own little piece of audio therapy, as I have experienced many, similar conflicts in my own life with parental units. Other reviewers have noted the details of its concept, so I won't bore you with that. Musically, it is simply perfection; its flow is so deftly composed, intermingled with dialogue and philosophical viewpoints that setup each, individual song. Lyrically, I have to say, Poe is one of the most brilliant songwriters to ever come down the pike. She has such a beautiful use of the English language and her lyrics can feel like a sucker punch to the gut because they hit home so effectively, without apology.
This album, over the eight years I've owned it, has been a mainstay in my spiritual journey to come to terms with my own family. I've probably listened to it a thousand times, literally, and I never get sick of listening to it; and every time I do, I learn something new, I hear some little tidbit that I didn't before, and to me, that's what makes a masterpiece: you can listen to it a million times over, never tire of it, learn something new every time, apply it to that particular point in your life, and revisit it again later, knowing that its fundamentals will still apply anew, no matter where you are in life's journey.
It's an album I hope I'm still listening to when I'm old and gray...and "Walk the Walk" WILL be played at my funeral!!!
Description of Haunted
Described as 'folk-hop' with Comparisons to Portishead, the Album features a Bonus Track 'hey Pretty (Drive by 2001 Mix).Give Poe credit for overcoming obstacles and delivering a second album as ambitious and loaded as Haunted. Extending over 15 wildly diverse tracks linked together by ambient interludes and spooky tape splices of old cassette recordings featuring the singer's late father, documentary filmmaker Tad Danielewski, the album shows the songstress moving effortlessly through ethereal folk-hop ("Haunted"), Shania Twain-style country rock ("Walk the Walk"), and flamenco-infused balladry ("Spanish Doll"). The only constant through the turbulence--emotional and otherwise--remains her desperately romantic voice and its desire to bid her father a proper farewell at every turn. --Jaan Uhelszki
