5.0 out of 5 stars
Fresh new pop music, more adventurous than the norm,
By A Customer
This review is from: More Adventurous (U.S. Release) (Audio CD)
I bought this album on the stenght of one song ('Does He Love You?') and was not disappointed. This album is full of fantastic pop/rock songs, killer quirky hooks and Jenny Lewis' voice, which demands attention.This album truly is more adventurous than the norm, each song telling a story with a lyrical ambition that rarely seems over the top. Like other Weird Pop Bands (tm), Rilo Kiley forgo the tradition of rhyming couplets and repetition packed songs. Instead, each track takes us on a journey. However, unlike other bands that are too clever for their own good, Rilo Kiley retain their pop sensibilities. These songs have fantastic hooks and a sense of fun, but are not so shallow that they grow boring on the first listen. Instead the album gets better and better - the music and lyrics retaining interest and actual excitement in the music everytime. The "pop songs" on this album - Portions For Foxes and I Never included - are gorgeous, soulful and sassy, brilliantly sold by Jenny Lewis. Curbed by some studio exec and they could esaily become chart toppers, but as they are these songs retain a freshness and are genuinely exhilarating. The lyrics, the turns of phrase, and the stories told in 'Does He Love You?''It's A Hit' and 'Absence Of God' are fascinating too. I find myself writing down quotes from the lyric sheets, I find them that interesting. But also the music is great, and easy catchiness making the twisting lyrics easy to enjoy. The album fades slightly at the end after a wonderful first half, but that's a minor complaint. The last few songs are good rather than great, but the album as a whole is one I can listen to again and again and not grow tired of. Wonderful pop songs, catchy, inventive and humourous - Rilo Kiley are the pop band of the new millennium and by all rights should be superstars. Please, give this album a listen.

Fresh air and summer sounds,
This review is from: More Adventurous (U.S. Release) (Audio CD)
I bought this album based on a friend's recommendation and the tracks It's a Hit and Portions for Foxes. Both of these tracks are, as far as I'm concerned, essential listening for the summer. They are the most accessible musically speaking of the album, although as you get familiar with the lyrics they improve (the exact meaning of It's a Hit still eludes me, but I love its obviously critical nature). Other tracks cannot be appreciated without paying close attention to the lyrics (The Absence of God in particular will grow on you as its meaning clarifies). This is a songwriting album, and it goes deep, reaching its climax with the truly beautiful, understated and softly sad A man/Me/Then Jim, a track which will make me stop whatever I'm doing to sit still and just listen.If you want your summer music a little deeper and More Aventurous (cheap pun), get this album.

Another great album.,
This review is from: More Adventurous (U.S. Release) (Audio CD)
As a dedicated fan of Rilo Kiley i was deeply anticipating the release of their third album. I ordered it after not hearing any of the songs.The songs all have the familiar sound, the cool and beautiful voice of Jenny Lewis and the brilliant guitar of Blake Sennett. Rilo Kiley do of course have their own unique style and sound, and in this album they stick (almost) to it. The album has two surprising tracks, firstly "Ripchord", a song similar in style to the snippets of "How i choose to remember it" that you hear between the tracks one second album "The execution of all things". Secondly "I Never" A very surprising style for the band, a sassy soul song with Lewis' beautiful voice at it's most powerful, not my favourate track but is worth a listen. The top two tracks on the album are "Portions for foxes" a classic Rilo Kiley song in their typical style. Then there's "Man/me/them/Jim" a song with a story, i love this track, the guitar is amazing and the story is kind of funny. All in all this album is an excellent piece of work, from one the most underrated and unheard of great bands off all time. Buy it today.
