Synopsis

Product Description

Stern's second release is a pop record for an alternate dimension, where hooks and choruses are sent careening through a cracked kaleidoscope. It's also deeply personal compared to the conceptual leanings of her previous work. One of Venus magazine's "Greatest Female Guitarists Of All Time", Spring 2008 issue. Nominated for "Female Artist Of The Year" in the 2008 Plug Music Awards.

father o | armpitsville, ny | 10/25/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"much more focused than the first album. this is a cd that will jump at you at first listen and reward you with each additional listen. every song has become my favorite song at some point. 'ruler' is amazing. 'roads, where we're going we don't need roads' is amazing, (as well as a 'back to the future' referenc, so more kudos to marnie!).

i want people to buy this. i want people to enjoy this. i want her to make 50 more cd's like this."

I like it better with every listen...

"...so this review's probably premature. And four stars are probably one too few.

In other words, Stern's singing voice might take a little getting used to. And the appeal of some songs is a little more subtle than the out-front awesomeness of, say, "Ruler." But good things come to those who listen to CDs on repeat.

My only beef is that they record as "Marnie Stern," when I would've hoped it would be something more like "The Marnie Stern Experience," or "Marnie Stern & the Supreems." Because while Stern's doubtlessly the main attraction, her rhythm section deserves recognition. Or at least her drummer does. Dude kills."
