5.0 out of 5 stars The Full Package, 12 Dec 2005
By boyAnachronism (Belfast, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Always intended as a double album, this is final form of Rufus' two magnificent albums Want One and Want Two. More polished than the self-titled work and more varied and adventerous than Poses: Want is his finest offering to date.

This album is an effortless (yet meticulous) fusion of the classical and contemporary in a way I didn't think was possible. All this is delivered with a (melo)drama and even humour that suits perfectly.

He's been compared as a more colourful James Blunt, but I disagree. Owing to his practically veteran musical status I'd say James Blunt is a duller version of Rufus Wainwright.

I've never given an album 5 stars before with so much confidence.

5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS NOW!, 12 Dec 2005
I can't believe the 2 best best albums of recent years by a long mile are available on 1 disc. If you don't buy this you are mad or have exceptionally poor taste. Rufus Wainwright has resurrected the art of songwriting single handedly, while effortlessly throwing together the most beautiful arrangements and bucket loads of integrity.
I am Still listening to these recordings daily since they were released.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wainwright is a genius!, 10 Jan 2006
By A Customer
After listening to these albums, I can now say that I am a full blown Rufus Wainwright fanatic! These albums are amazing. I recommend them to everyone, as you need to hear them in order to understand Wainwright's lyrical genius. Only he could get away with the lyrics..."better pray for your sins.... 'cos the gay messiah's coming" GENIUS!
