Title: Lyrics are beautiful
Review: I first heard Rufus Wainwright on the radio singing Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk, and I knew I had to have that recording. I love that song and I really love the poetry and originality of Wainwright's lyrics. He creates moods and searing images. The background instrumentalization is wonderful and experimental at times, and I like the vocal harmonies. I do agree with the review that there is a certain melodic sameness with many of the songs; but, other customer reviews confirmed what I felt must be true, that this is an album that burns gently into your soul after several listenings. Plus, he has a resonant and malleable voice that sinuously maintains its integrity in different vocal ranges.
Is the review positive or negative?
