Editorial Review: Amazon.com's Best of 2001: The scrutiny of success that came early on--being named Best New Artist by Rolling Stone in 1998, the year of his debut album, for example--would have smothered many another emerging talent. But it failed to stopper the singular, unclassifiable, ranging gift of singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright. His sophomore album, Poses, advances beyond the earlier, cabaret-inspired effort with a suite of songs marvelously varied in arrangement and texture but linked by Wainwright's characteristic theatrical panache. "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk" catalogs excess with playful self-censure, but Wainwright's whimsical ironies often take a bruising, poignant turn, whether in the pseudo-upbeat "California" or, most movingly, on the title track. The dying fall of Wainwright's lusher melodies--echoes of "Across the Universe" as well as ultrachic Beatles tunes such as "Michelle"--meshes remarkably with the poetic substance here as he explores a landscape of wistful self-knowledge caught between longing and decadence. Yet even through all the layers of picturesque, postmod observation, Wainwright conveys a sense-filtered experience that gives urgency to his hauntingly mumbled opacities. With Poses, the young artist proves his authenticity. --Thomas May Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - PosesRufus has done it again. This is one damn good cd. Poses and Across the Universe are the best of the show, but the rest are wonderful too. Good Work Rufus , keep it up..... Rating: - Poses by a 'One Man' Prodigy."Cause I'm a one man guy in the morning Same in the afternoon One man guy when the sun goes down I whistle me a one man tune One man guy a one man guy Only kind of guy to be." --"One Man Guy" Rufus Wainwright is a musical prodigy. He is proficient on both piano and guitar, and his melancholic and melodic songs are a poetic reflection of his brilliant mind. His parents are folk singers Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, and his sister is Martha Wainwright. He wrote most of the songs for Poses while living in the NYC's Chelsea Hotel, reportedly addicted to crystal meth. (Elton John persuaded him to check into rehab.) Although this album received critical acclaim, commercially it was not ... Read More: Rating: - To me, the best of Rufus I love Rufus Wainwright, and to me this represents some of his best work. I also like his current (2007) album, but if I could own only one, this would be it. Like another reviewer (and probably many) said, it is true and wonderful poetry at work in song. Highly recommended! Rating: - Poses is poetry for the heart.Having recently discovered the wondrously talented Rufus Wainwright through the track Cigarettes and chocolate milk, I knew I had to hear more,hence the purchase of the magic which is Poses. Each track is totally different, no odious repetitions, each so gloriously melodic, whether it be up tempo or a ballad, at the very heart of each track lies a beautiful orchestration. The voice can soar to such heartbreaking heights, you feel he belongs in another time and place, a modern day travelling minstrel bringing his tales and music to the masses. BRILLIANT Rating: - Rufus Best pop cd Wow! What a rich experience. Rufus Wainwright's voice is amazing. He has a classical voice but in this popular medium he makes his vocals very accessible. He clearly benefitted from being raised by his musical McGarrigle mother The McGarrigle Hour and also from his talented singer songwriter Wainwright father Strange Weirdos: Music from and Inspired by the Film Knocked Up. This is the best cd to start with if you are introducing yourself to Rufus Wainwright's music. Each song has a distinctly different feel to it and uses different musical talents. Although I think of "Poses" as his best cd, the song "Going to a Town" on his new cd "Release the Stars" is one of the best songs of 2007, reflecting on the impressions one gets lately ...
