Review title: A Unified Musical Statement from Linkous
Product review: "It's a Wonderful Life" is one of those rare albums where the songs all manage to fit together into a unified musical statement. To say, as the previous reviewer has, that "all the songs sound the same" is just proof that most people don't bother to take an album like this one seriously enough.Linkous has woven beautiful musical tapestries, and he has the musical sense to know how to enhance each track as much as possible. PJ Harvey's two guest vocals are sublime. And the addition of Adrian Utley (Portishead-are they dead?) on bass is equally important.This album has drawn the usual generalizations from some critics, e.g. "they sound a bit like Radiohead." On the contrary, this album is original, well constructed, and breathtakingly gorgeous.
