Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 Nice Warm-Up
Submitted on: 2008-04-09 |

| This album is decent, but not nearly as good as their subsequent two (Shapeshifter and Mp3). I agree that it needs to be "louder". Wozniak is an amazing songwriter, but I feel that the producers of this album really robbed it of something by toning everything down. Love them live, and love their other two albums! |

 Chill, dude. (Try not to freeze, though...)

| Not much to say about this one, really. It's mellow, downtempo, easy listening, calm, smooth...does "stoner" qualify? (Hey, the star track is "Sex And Candy"; I think that's a legit question.) The problem is that downtempo needs to have something to it to be good. It can be sweet and poignant (Jack Johnson), etherally beautiful (Loreena McKennitt), heartful and upbeat (Counting Crows), or edgy (Toad The Wet Sprocket). Marcy Playground, both the band and the self-title album are...just there, unfortunately. No big hook, nothing that stands out. If you're into smooth, easy listening, you'll love this. Not a whole lot to recommend/trash otherwise. |

| I really only purchased this CD because I liked the song "Sex and Candy". To my surprise there were some other songs on the CD that were pretty good. On the other hand, there were some other songs that were not that great and that is why my rating stands at the median. |

| I just bought this album and its growing on me with every listen. If you're into hard rockers, avoid this. Its a mellow album with some strange songs on it. Opium is a nice cut :D |

Marcy Playground one of many bands that came out during the grunge era.Though they don't have the heavy pounding guitar or the crazy screaching.Trading in all the grunge trade marks for a softer touch and much deeper vocals."Poppies" a wonderful opening track and not a total slowdown song.After progressing through "Sex And Candy" and "Ancient Walls Of Flowers" the tracks to begin to fall short of the melody.Soon the tracks become lost in a state of mellowness in wich it's just way to light htat you almost don't realize what track your on.(Or if it's still playing for that matter)
If you pay close attention the songs are pretty detailed and the lyrics and acoustic mix very well for every song.The tracks do sadly drag on, but if you really just listen they are for the most part good.The standards of the first three tracks were set to high for a band that later achieved not much more then a few applauds for 1 track.
I enjoyed the enitre album enough that i think everyone should listen to it atleast a few times. |
