[.ca] Slide

more like 4 and a half.:
Lisa Germano is an extremely unique artist. Her voice, her sound, her lyrics - all of it very different. So most of her takes a little bit to get into. While Slide is a little bit more accessible than past albums, it is no exception to that rule haha. Starts off with the extremely catchy (well, for a Lisa song!) and almost organic sounding "way below the radio". Familiar Lisa territory is covered, with her glum outlook on life - but there is a little bit more of an optimistic look on it especially on "Reptile". Some songs are so beautiful (Gullotine, Wood Floors) in their simplicity, that it reminded me that you didn't need layers of didn't instruments to make a great song. My favourite track is probably "If I think of Love", but all are great. If you like music that pushes the line with creativity, you will love Lisa Germano. Highly suggested. You also might want to look into her previous releases, especially Geek the Girl.

Very addictive:
What a soothing album. I heard "Wood Floors" from a friend and couldn't stop listening to the song. When I wasn't listening to it, I found myself humming it. The song reminded me of twirling around in my socks on the hardwood floors of my parents' house when I was a kid. It made me want to be 8 again and skating around the house in my socks. The rest of the album is really nice. I've been listening to it at work practically all day today. I just put it on repeat and let it go. Some of the songs make me want to slow dance with my honey. There isn't anything extra original on this album, but it's a good album that makes you feel like there is something extra original about it. I'm currently borrowing this album from my boyfriend, but will be adding it to my collection soon.

One of the great albums of the 90's.:
One of my all time favorite albums. Wonderful songwriting, sensitive and appealing production, and the distinctive voice of Lisa Germano make it perfect in every way. I've listened to 'Wood Floors' more times than I can count.

Lisa's making music again...:
...Lullaby for Liquid Pig. I just got an advanced copy of it last week. It's a very quiet CD, very mellow and still ever full of Lisa's uniqueness... her heartfelt lyrics and clearly you can hear & feel her true love of music...

Give the woman a big hug!:
I can't say how sad I am to hear that she has stopped making music. I can't really understand it...I love her previous work very much. She's the first american artist that I've ever come to love VERY much. I think this is her best album so far, cause it is more varied in a way..or maybe just better balanced? Geek the girl comes second right after Slide. Hard to say why..cause I think they're both her best albums. Geek the girl just touches something else. Maybe it's songs like Wood Floors and No Colour here that make Slide a little better. I'm just happy she's done as much music as she have. But I hope from deep within my heart that she hasn't given up on us or herself. Please Lisa...come back! You can't just leave... :(
