Little Album reviews

Air : Moon Safari // Talkie Walkie

I'll review these albums together and separately.
So, Moon Safari is a really Jazzy album with some techno undertones. You may have heard "Sexy Boy" from a movie or two. It's a rather obscure album that some of my wierder friends will no doubt enjoy, unless you hate either jazz or techno. Track by track, it doesn't really feel like a full album, more like some chill tracks spliced together for some wicked awesomeness. I guess that is what you get with electronic acts, when you bring in guest vocalists, it kinda breaks apart the album a bit.

Talkie Walkie also feels similar but is much more unified. Starting off with "Venus" you get a Mellon collie feeling from the sad theme. The albums doesn't get too much more happy or sad, just kind of stays pretty static. The feel of this album is a bit more pop-ish, not saying a lot of people will like this. I just get more of a "Britney Spears on Downers" feel to the entire album. Less jazz, and more pop.

OVERALL: I give Talkie Walkie 4.5/5 and Moon Safari 4/5, Both are very good, but Talkie Walkie really "Talks" to me. (Pun intended)
