Another great Stephin Merritt album

If you have listened to all the Magnetic Fields albums and are interested in some of Stephin's side projects, this is the album to get. I would describe it as a cross between the lush melodies of "Get Lost" and the techno edge of "Holiday." The different vocalists add to the album's high level of listening pleasure. Plus, there are some songs here which rank among the best Magnetic Fields songs. "Heaven in a Black Leather Jacket" and "Falling Out of Love (With You)" are standouts with everything…

No sting

I admit it -- I never of Merritt before 69 Love Songs, but now I know why. The incredible songwriting and humor of Love Songs came out of nowhere -- there's nothing on this record that would even hint at it. The songs here are mostly flat, the singing incredibly tame and insipid for a bunch of "indie" heroes. Barbara Manning, e.g., should be recording children's albums. Three or four songs are somewhat memorable, but this is strictly for diehard fans.
