When she gets more serious, like on the arpeggiating "Genius Next Door" or "Man Of A Thousand Faces," she loses something.
Absolute bull. In fact, that is where she shines! And I consider a B- in catchiness a compliment. Also, female Ben Folds...not at all. Another thing, in what world would Machine be described as "wacky"? |

This is more like it!
http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=30992 "Far is her second best album, and it is so close to being as good as (or better than) Soviet Kitsch that it's almost scary."  Sputnikmusic has a weird community I very rarely agree with their reviews but this one is neat! |

"Human of the Year" is a lighthearted, amusing song? If you say so...
- "You peer inside yourself..." |
||||
|
lol i know right? I was surprised when I read that. -------------------------------------- I should have held an afterparty for all the thoughts I didn't say |
||||
|
a b- for catchiness?
now that's some major bullshit. that should definitely be an a+ ____________________________ Shake it shake it baby, shake your ass out in that street. |

I like this quote: "Her piano and her nostalgic vocals could describe the color for a blind man, and he would finally understand what color was."
"Quirky crap she used to do on 11:11 and Songs"? Say whaaaaat?! ------------------------------  |

I agree with this review a lot. Very true about her songs being straightforward but containing genius subtleties. That's why I don't play her music when I'm , say, working in the studio. It would be such a downer if I said to people "no, you have to really listen to the lyrics!!!" And I think that's why many people miss out on her, they're not willing to give each song the time that they require. |

Lol yeah it's like saying: "Fidelity is a dark ode to the macabre." - "You peer inside yourself..." |
||||
|
Well, ya know, it is... with all of its dark pizzicato strings and depressing lyrics about dismemberment and despair. And the little flower is like “What the fuck? I'm just a pink with blue spots little flower! And nobody else is like me!” |
||||
|
Lmao 'dismemberment...' I literally laughed out loud. - "You peer inside yourself..." |

Another annoying review:
http://www.comfortcomes.com/20.../regina-spektor-far/ "I’ve never spent much time listening to Regina Spektor, so this won’t be much of a retrospective piece. Nor have I had the worst of luck lately, so this can’t be a very bitter piece. It’s for those reasons that this review is so glowing, or is it that Regina Spektor’s new album Far on Sire is really just that good, heeding no reason for “looking backs” or “fuck you’s.”" Huh? |
||||
|
So far Sputnik is the only one that getsthis album.
|
||||
|
Does anyone else feel like these reviewers are completely missing the point when it comes to Regina?
- "You peer inside yourself..." |
||||
|
No shit. I think most of them were looking for Fidelity, didn't find it and went onto the next CD. |
