ChapterZero

To my surprise, I don’t like Rufus Wainwright’s latest album. What the hell was he aiming for? Poses, Want One, and Want Two are so much more vital and real than this pastiche. Brilliant, cryptic lyrics as usual, but I can’t pick out one song that really stuck on me. Try again– you did it once with songs like ‘Grey Gardens’, ‘Go or go ahead’, etc. that tackle you to the floor at just the first listen– I’m sure you can get there again.

I did get Dashboard Confessional’s ‘Dusk and Summer’ at the same time, which is sort of a consolation, because that is a good album.

Update It’s growing on me
