Editorial Review: Amazon.com: A Fine Frenzy Photos
Amazon.com: A Fine Frenzy is actually just a fine young singer-songwriter from Seattle, born Alison Sudol. A self-taught piano player, on her debut album she pairs sweeping orchestral arrangements with dreamlike lyrics inspired by the classic works of fantasy writers like CS Lewis, EB White, and Lewis Carroll. Add to that a propensity for frilly shirts and cryptic song titles such as "The Minnow & the Trout" and you half-expect to find a back alley Joanna Newsom. Instead Sudol specializes in accessible pop epics, the kind of songs that fit perfectly over the end credits of a great Hollywood tearjerker. Despite the gentle melancholia that runs through "Ashes and Wine" and "You Picked Me," each tune arrives wrapped in an exuberant melody and topped by the singer's commanding voice. On the disc's standout moment, "Almost Lover," she shows she can do simplicity as well, musing over a sublime piano medley, "Shoulda known you'd bring me heartache/ Oh, most lovers always do." --Aidin Vaziri Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Insanely surprisingRight...so we've all heard Almost Lover, right? I'm assuming you liked that song, if not loved it to death as I did, but i've got news for you...it's not her best. I'm totally blown away by this album. AFF is a lyrical genius. I'll admit her stuff can be wuite depressing, but it is so real and moving...that it may bring you to tears. Seriously. Think of You, Ashes and Wine, Last of Days and Near To You are sure to make your eyes swell. Then Lifesize, Minnow and the Trout, Rangers and You Picked Me are happier and mostly easy listening. I recommend this to the highest regard. Rating: - Beautiful music by an equally beautiful and talented musican.A Fine Frenzy is fronted by singer/songwriter Alison Sudol. The perfect words to describe her music is beautiful and hypnotic. The piano harmonies and her voice seem to fit together perfectly into emotional and peaceful sounding music. I love listening to her music if I've had a bad day at work or school, or if I just need something comforting to listen to. I'd recommend her to any music lover. Her music is absolutely amazing. I can't wait for her next album and I'll definitely be buying it. Favorites include You Picked Me, Rangers, Almost Lover, and Come On, Come Out. Rating: - Just What I Dreamed of...... and just what I needed. Growing increasingly tired of the new music that countless bands put out, I was dying to hear something new. And beautiful. This is it. The most beautiful piano ballads I've ever heard... it's surprising that such beautiful piano ballads can exist after Coldplay already garnered rights over the simplest & most incredible piano chord progressions in existence. The songs are stunning. You'll find something to identify with in the lyrics of any of these melodies. The intimacy of her voice makes the experience that much more 'close to home', after you already find yourself identifying with the heartfelt words that she imbues with such character with her exquisite voice & ...

While Sudol's lyrics, vocals, and piano playing are the centerpieces of the CD, they do not account for the entire story. This CD packs a fair amount of variety although some of it is subtle. Lyrically, you will find familiar topics while Sudol also takes the road less traveled in some cases. This is most clearly evident on "The Minnow & The Trout" where Sudol makes a plea for people to put their differences aside using a metaphor of animals based on evolution. This is where the "one cell in the sea" reference comes in. However, there are also the typical songs of love and loss such as "Almost Lover" and "Ashes and Wine". Overall, ... Read More: Rating: - One Cell In The Sea - Great AlbumOne Cell In the Sea is probably my favorite album released in the last two years. For a guy who buys hundreds of CDs a year and listens to every genre under the sun, that's saying something. Every track on the album is incredible. This is probably the best debut album since Third Eye Blind's debut masterpiece. Even though I loved the album from the start, some of the songs didn't hit me at first. I was not a big fan of "You Picked Me," because starting your song off with "One, Two, Three" just isn't the way to win me over. Still, this song has grown on me too. I can forgive the counting off. Alison's voice is amazing, and unlike a lot of the pseudo piano player musicians of today she can actually play. But most importantly, ... Read More: |
