Andrew Bird – Armchair Apocrypha Review
Andrew Bird is an indie rocker from Illinois and plays the violin, guitar and glockenspiel. This album was anticipated when I heard the single Heretics where the dark lyrics mixed with Andrew Bird’s mellow voice really attracted me to download his other things.
The album Armchair Apocrypha displays Andrew Bird’s smooth voice but I’m not sure I am digging this album as much as his last release The Mysterious Production of Eggs. The lyrics are challenging for me as I have no idea what he’s trying to say in most songs and I have no idea what it relates to. This album is great to falling asleep to but it’s not something I can listen to endlessly.
While some songs like Fiery Crash I learned to really like, there doesn’t seem to be another Heretics where I am singing along to and while this album is probably much deeper then what I could ever understand I simply can’t give it a rave review.
I give this album 3.5 out of 5. It was given a 81 Rating on Metacritic which is excellent but I’m not sur everyone would like this as it is a tough listen (for me anyway).
