Music reviews of Omnipop
Music Review: Gives me shivers
Rating: 5 Stars
Yes, it's different from her other albums - each one is different! This one is dark and edgy. Marlena Dietrich meets the Beatles with a trace of King Crimson. Surprising textures. Lots of those incredibly yummy rock grooves Sam does so freaking well (especially Power World, Entertainmen, Slapstick Heart...). Every song has a different sound. Very passionate, deep lyrics as always, although they're easier to understand and relate to than some of her latest work (from A Boot & A Shoe onwards). Between this, Martinis & Bikinis, the Indescribable Wow, and Cruel Invention I'm hard pressed to pick a favorite. It's incredible she isn't better known, but I don't think she tours, so that's probably it.
Description of Omnipop
The dark, thudding opener "Entertainmen" is one of Phillips's most intriguing songs. Thereafter things get wonky as Phillips and her cohorts (Marc Ribot, husband T-Bone Burnett, Jerry Scheff, and others) let their experimental urges run free on songs that are a little too clever and complex for most listeners. A disappointment after 1991's near-perfect Cruel Inventions. --Jeff BatemanGeneral CDs
