Customer Reviews of Romantica
In Love On their sixth studio album, Romantica, Luna's Dean Wareham is in love, but I'm not sure with whom or with what. Certainly he adores the post-Velvets drone of guitars-bass-drums. Certainly he adores his ironic, prankish sense of humor. And certainly he adores the career band that's now surpassed Galaxie 500 on every semi-commercial and artistic level. Yet though Romantica doesn't really sound all that different from Pup Tent or Bewitched (though not the masterful Penthouse), there's something missing in the mix. Could be the detached post-modern eye he turns towards his romantic travails - very continental, don't you think? Could be the thudding lyricism he aims for and misses on many of these tracks. Could be love isn't Wareham's great subject - seduction is, especially when he has to try just a little bit harder than he does once he gets what he wants.
Classic
This is an awesome album. I have only recently begun listening to Luna, but I fell in love with this band right away. Romantica is consistently beautiful. From bittersweet pop ballads to classic guitar-based tunes, Luna delivers sumptuous, addictive melodies. Rarely does an album deliver 3 good songs, but this one has at least 6-7 solid tracks. My peronal favorites include the irresistible, tranquil "Mermaid Eyes," and mellow "Black Champagne," as well as the playfulness of "1995." With minimalist lyrics and simple, harmonious rock, Luna creates a perfect album.
Time for retirement
This cd strikes a new low point in Luna's recording career. It's definitely not the same band that put out Penthouse and Pup Tent--both great cds. If you are new to Luna, start with those recordings and work your way down to this dud, but only if you feel it's absolutely necessary. Personally, I feel the band was much better with Stanley Demeski on drums and Justin Harwood on bass. The new girl is definitely distracting Dean with her cheesy sultriness and weak, whispy vocals. Why can't more bands follow the worthy precedent set by the Beatles and break up before they get terrible?
