A Sonic Masterpiece
1 Jun 2011
Format:Audio CD
This album is a sonic masterpiece. Instrumentals take centre stage in a way they never have in Good's previous work. Piano, woodwind, and horns tell a story without insisting upon one meaning, as the lyrics are kept sparse. This album reminds me of walking through a forest and seeing sudden shafts of light, hearing bird song, and suddenly encountering a raccoon or a hallow tree. It is surprising and refreshing. It speaks of happiness with hints of melancholy. The perfect listening for rainy days with your balcony door open, riding the bus to a ferry terminal, putting the day to bed. In short, the ideal soundtrack to a life in transition, and a tonic which reminds me everything is going to be okay.

Good does it again. Most underrated artist in music.
17 Sep 2011
Format:Vinyl
This is Matthew Good's "In Rainbows", and every bit as good as that Radiohead classic. Good is peaking in this particular piece of art. A true tour de force. I can only speak of the vinyl version, but the sounds are rich, the production is excellent. Each side of the 2 discs each has its incredible moments. Hard to say where it stands in the Good catalogue, especially if you consider all the MGB stuff, but it's at least on par with Avalanche. Probably his best solo effort, and possibly as good as Beautiful Midnight. My album of the year nominee.
The Man Can't Be Stopped

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'll be the first to admit that this album was an easy buy; I've been a fan of Matt Good's since Beautiful Midnight. But the degree of change between his music with the band and his solo career is a great one. As I get older I notice my taste in music is changing, and with Matt Good, I'm preferring his slower stuff to the rock. This album has a couple faster paced songs, but for the most part it's a slow/acoustic/melodic album with lyrics that will sometimes cause you to pause the song and really think about them. So far, most of my favorite lines from any of his songs recide in this album. You can tell he's older and has learned a lot and reflects on his past, present, and future, as we all do. Sometimes what he says is painful, other times hopeful, or he nails a familiar chord. LOES also stands on it's own compared to Avalanche, Hospital Music, and Vancouver...each album was different in it's own way. This one I feel is a great reflection, almost where Vancouver left off or should have been, seeing as it was named after his hometown. In a nutshell, If you like Matthew Good and haven't purchased this album, get on it; you won't be disappointed.
