Title: Reincarnation?
Review: OK, boomers. Light some incense, light something else, close your eyes, hit Play. If you don't visualize a concert hall stage that looks like a huge altar with Donovan Leitch (aka Donovan) strumming soulful tunes as the centerpiece, sorry you missed it. Although Nick Drake plays a nice guitar, only 17 y.o. boys trying to display a sensitive side to their 16 y.o. girlfriends should expect any magic from this one. Wispy, poetic, and some pieces heavily orchestrated with strings - a warning I did not heed. I bought this from a recommendation off the Garden State soundtrack. Although I generally like that one, some of the songs are similar - aenemic, immature, weak, something. I'm not a rocker per se, and indeed my beloved Radiohead can drift over into dreary unconnectedness, but Five Leaves Left (title another clue?) is boring. A+ in lilting-ness, if you're into that.
