Title: Dissapointment
Review: In the past few months, I have gotten super into all of Devendra's other works, and was excited for another little delicious surprise like the others when I first picked this album up. Oh, what a dissapointment I was in for. The album does not carry through it's energy as many of Banhart's other albums do so well. Also, having already heard many other versions of the same songs that are on here on his split album with Jana Hunter, I found these to be much more dull, and did not carry forward their emotion in the way that the other recordings do. That being said, Devendra is always quite alright, if not wonderful. I find his voice to be entirely charming, and he is generally a very talented song writer.So, the moral? If you couldn't really get into this recording, please don't give up on Devendra yet. I highly recommend "Cripple Crow", his split album with Jana Hunter, and, if you are into music that is slightly more raw, "The Black Babies", which is my personal favorite.
