Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Seventh Tree Is Nothing Short Of AMAZING Comment: This is one of the most beautiful Albums you could ever own. It's music in it's finest and purest form. The music and the vocals jump straight into your soul. I recommend this Album to everyone out there looking for an amazing experience. Customer Rating: Summary: If you liked all 3 previous albums, you'll love Seventh Tree. Comment: It was obvious that when Goldfrapp announced their 4th album, it will be something very different than the previous albums as always. What I like from them is that they don't repeat the same formula of the previous one. I find Seventh Tree relaxing (Clowns, Road to Somewhere), enjoyable (Caravan Girl), sometimes funny (Happiness, Cologne Cerrone Houdini), a few times sad (A&E), and even weird (Eat yourself). But all together, the album is a masterpiece, it shows how much they have involved by passing through differend genres. My favorite songs in this album are "Caravan Girl" because of it's vibe. On "A & E" even after the lyrics are kind of sad, the music is peaceful and enjoyable. "Happiness" puts a smile on my face, specially on that line of "give us all your money", and "Cologne Cerrone Houdini" has that something that makes me love that song. "Road to somewhere" and "Clowns" are a couple songs that will relax you and make you enjoy a moment of peace. "Little bird" is kind of funny, the first time I heard the song (without reading the lyrics) I thought she said "You lie", instead of "July", reminding me of a funny line in Invader Zim (Nothing in common, but just reminds me of that). Also in "Some people" that she makes reference about her mysterious age... "Monster Love"... the title sounds interesting, although I have never checked carefully the lyrics, I like the vibe as well, smooth and calm. "Eat Yourself" is the weirdest song in the album, I don't catch all the lyrics at all, but that doesn't mean is not good. This song and Clowns are "Deer stop" style, with bizarre singing, but slow and enjoyable. Although "Satin Chic" is still my favorite song, I must admit that this album is their best, it is one of the very few albums I listen from beginnig to end at least 2 times a day... that gives me an idea of a Listmania! Customer Rating: Summary: Dissapointing & Pretty Much without BEATS! Comment: Frankly, it's a disappointing follow up to their last album. Where's the "beat"? Thank GOD I didn't go see them last Saturday as I probably would have been bored stiff as they wallow through some pretty lifeless music from this album. It feels like Goldfrapp was listening to a lot of Kate Bush to me. I love Kate Bush but this is not what I expected from Goldfrapp and Kate does "it" so much better. I dug Goldfrapp's last album. Maybe this will grow on me the more I listen to it but I'm afraid it will end up in the stack of less played cd's. A highlight on the record is the 60's inspired, Roberta Flack like song titled "Cologne Cerrone Houdini". There is nothing on this album that is as good as their song, "Number 1" for example. If you want some real mellow music, stuff that floats by and you like Goldfrapp's vocals then you might enjoy this record. However, if you liked their synthesizer POP influenced sound with BEATS then you should pass on buying this record. Customer Rating: Summary: Filling the space between hustlers and flies Comment: Sounds like Enya and Joni Mitchell -- post-sex change, of course -- popped out a baby who as a young child dreamed of growing up to become some cheap casio Madonna ripoff. A plastic statuette breeding styrofoam. This stutter, this putrid remainder of a burp hanging in the air, makes Eisley come across like Black Sabbath by comparison. "A&E" belongs on the Hallmark Channel during a particularly introspective moment on "Seventh Heaven" or "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman." Don't even get me started on the video for that sonic bit of parsley-on-the-plate: mocking nature via some chick on LSD belittling tree leaves, turning them into servile apes that have nothing better to do than dance around and around her like she's some woods goddess, some Ursula K. Le Guin-mindmelded, ointment-coated masseuse from a small fishing town. It's not important where. And her stupid la-z-boy husband plucking his junior Roebuck and drinking hot water, snorting coke and playing computer chess. I know everybody's trying to jump onto the '70s bandwagon again cuz it's in season (The National, Ester Drang, Midlake, Grandaddy, Band of Horses), but why choose to emulate Captain and Tennille? I think I'm getting cancer on an area of my body to which I do not know the name. My cat likes jumping on boxes and scratching my face up when I sleep. Customer Rating: Summary: worth every sensual sound Comment: If you are used to "Black Cherry" and "Supernature" get ready for a seduction into a vast world of farscapes beyond your wildest imgination. From the slinky "Clowns" to the upbeat "Happiness"; You will be lost in a magical world of Goldfrapp like no other. This SHOULD be on your list of must haves this season! More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Seventh Tree unveils an Alison Goldfrapp quite different to the one we saw on her career highpoint to date, 2005's Supernature. Whereas that album was grandiose, glammy, and almost aggressive in its brash, thrusting sexuality, Goldfrapp's fourth album is no less sensual, but rather more subtle in its approach. Recorded with longtime collaborator Will Gregory out in rural Somerset, Seventh Tree feels like an attempt to fuse the pagan folk of cult English horror classic The Wicker Man< to a lush backdrop of woozy electronics and a restrained orchestral sweep reminiscent of '70s-era Serge Gainsbourg. In practise, this means much of Seventh Tree goes where earlier Gainsbourg disciples such as Air have gone before: chilled-out, soporific electronica with a light organic edge. Luckily, Goldfrapp remains a compelling enough figure to keep matters on the right side of ethereal: the gorgeous "Clowns" imagines the Cocteau Twins' Liz Fraser guesting on some long-forgotten Nick Drake out-take, rustic folk with an all-but-indecipherable vocal and an undercurrent of desolation, while "A&E" shows Goldfrapp's pop urge has not deserted her, uplifting electronica with a warm, bucolic twist. --Louis Pattison
