The new issue of Entertainment Weekly has a cover-story on the "25 Must-Have Albums" for this Fall, and 'Under The Skin' is #8 on the list.

I scanned it so everyone could read it....

Thanks Stewie!!!!

A surprisingly compelling new album.

wondergirl9847 09-15-2006 01:14 PM

Eeeeeeee!!!!!!
 
I ADORE that photo!! Thanks, JS!! :xoxo: #8...nice. :thumbsup:

Janet 09-15-2006 01:15 PM

yay!!!!!!! I can't believe I am actually a fan during this time, that I can personally witness all this.

I was too young for OOTC...at 14-15 I wouldn't have gotten that kind of music or cared...but now I can actualy be here and see the shows and read the reviews as it happens.

It's a great day to be a Lindsey fan!!

"...no particular desperation to carve out any sort of radio hit..."


That kind of sums up his ENTIRE solo career, doesn't it? :laugh:

(Well, not counting "Trouble"...but that was an anomaly; still riding the crest of the Tusk tour wave of popularity)

Hmmm, most of those albums aren't must-haves in my book (bar Joanna Newsom, Beck, The Who and of course Lindsey).
Thanks for posting Brian.

Here's that picture in full btw:

I'd say these are the only "must haves". And, even Sean's album is "iffy".

Peestie 09-15-2006 04:34 PM

Cool, Lindsey is rated above Bat Out Of Hell III (which I'm looking forward to a lot - though not as much!) which I thought would have been classed as a much bigger attraction.

TwistedGypsy 09-15-2006 05:24 PM

That article makes me so happy. Well not just happy for me but for Lindsey too, he needs more regonition. :thumbsup:

MacMan 09-15-2006 05:52 PM

That's great! Should be a huge boost for UTS. Nice pic too - is that from the magazine, or from elsewhere?

shackin'up 09-15-2006 06:23 PM

I'm only curious for the scissor sisters. Not a must have. There's only one for me in this list. nr. 8.:woohoo:

BombaySapphire3 09-15-2006 09:00 PM

It always makes me ill when I think of how poorly the nearly flawless OOTC sold.I'm looking forward to this one too.

Mmmmmm, deliciousness!!!

I love that EW placed it so high...who knows, maybe he'll aquire some new fans. :)

Guitarist Buckingham has concocted the kind of defiantly personal work that cultists have no doubt been drooling for. Skin is characterized by drumlessness, intricate acoustic finger-picking, clearly autobiographical neuroticism, and no particular desperation to carve out any sort of radio hit — all of which add up to a surprisingly compelling (if decidedly left-of-center) new album.
how would you interpret the bold words in this context?

I also thought That compelling meant something like sensitive or emotional, but the addition of if decidedly left-of-center, makes me insecure. How would you read that?

wondergirl9847 09-16-2006 02:25 PM

Gerald...
 
I'm pfffttt-ing at the word....surprisingly. Lindsey has ALWAYS been compelling. Whatev. He's always been left of center too. He is not your average run-of-the-mill pop star who sings "I'm bringing sexy back." :laugh: I despise that song, btw.

Yahoo dictionary's definition of compelling: Drivingly forceful: compelling ambition and egotism.

Yep, that's our Lindsey. ;)

shackin'up 09-16-2006 02:35 PM

Okay..hmm and defiantly personal work? I even found the synonime "perversely".

Left of centre isn't a bad thing. They're just saying it's compelling, but not exactly your run-of-the-mill pop album. Sounds like a good review to me. :)

JunkFoodGenius 09-16-2006 04:52 PM

I like the picture - it tells the story of Lindsey perfectly - a man, his guitar, and his high heel boots.

defiantly personal... created according to his own standards, eff everyone else because he's not catering to them.

i like that part best :p

But now help me interpret the review. it's not the simplest review for a nonnativespeaker. I understand what it says, but cannot grab the subtle meanings.

Well so far we know of shut us down, down on rodeo and I am waiting that are Finger-picked so out of the other 4 songs we've not heard of it I'm hopefull a couple will be "shut us down-ish", then that would make it the perfect album for me.

I've been thinking quite a lot about it and all the songs we've heard "show you how", "Cast away dreams", "Shut us down", "Down on Rodeo", "Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind " and "It was you" all seem to fit together perfectly where as "I am waiting" would stick out like a sore thumb don't you think? The soundstage version has got to be one of my all time favourite songs but do you think the album version will be more like the small clip on "destiny rules"?

I'm amazed at how much attention this album is getting. Considering the record label have done NO promotion whatsoever, the album seems to be promoting itself.

shackin'up 09-17-2006 04:39 PM

you can add "try for the sun", too, or have you not heard that one?

BTW, I totally agree on the Shut us Down-ishness, although I also hope for strummers.
Does it promote itself? or basicly on the ledge....?

i bet lindsey died and went to heaven when he read the writer thought his album was left-of-center. i'm loving the picture.

oh, and i'm thrilled you know who joanna newsom is. at first, i found her voice irritating but the more i listened, the more i loved her. peach, plum, pear is one of my favorite songs.
