Amazon.co.uk Review
Is it art or is it affectation? On i, the Magnetic Fields' much anticipated follow-up to the critical and commercial success of 69 Love Songs, Stephen Merritt--the brains behind the band--sets himself a new target: 14 songs with titles all beginning with the letter "i". So, it's a simpler goal than before, which allows Mr Merritt to really stretch his creative brain in the right direction: the songs themselves. As 69 Love Songs proved, Merritt is a dab hand with a catchy ditty and i has loads of them. "I Don't Really Love You Anymore" has a jaunty beat that's in direct contrast to its rather downbeat title, while "I Thought You Were My Boyfriend" is a great take on 80s synth-pop, one that suits his lazy crooning voice perfectly. But where its predecessor had an obvious tenderness (due in no small part to its subject matter), i often veers too close to pretentiousness. Too much of it sounds like cleverness for cleverness's sake. Merritt is obviously a very talented songwriter. He just shouldn't always try so hard to prove it. --Robert Burrow
Album Description
The long-awaited follow-up to the acclaimed 1999 release 69 Love Songs, i finds singer/songwriter Stephin Merritt in full possession of his acerbic wit. Featuring lyrics ripe with melancholy and bittersweet imagery, the record's 14 tracks are possibly the most personal Merritt has created to date--a departure from the many voices on 69 Love Songs.
