Complementary Goodness

21/08/07

This is a light pop rock album that goes hand in hand with Josh Woodward's dark pop rock album, Dirty Wings.

This is another really amazing album, and if you liked Dirty Wings, you will probably not be disappointed by Not Quite Connected. Of course, the mood is very different, drawing from slower, lighter sounds. The instruments tend to by more accoustic than in the other album, and the amount of drums is almost inverted, relying more on melody than beat. Instrumentally, there is a lot more variety than in Dirty Wings, throwing in a lot more banjo, violin, harmonica, etc. Woodward's voice seems to adapt to any mood, and this album does not provide an exception.

Just as the lyrics were quite dark in Dirty Wings, the lyrics are typically very light in Not Quite Connected. Typically, the lyrics tend to represent a struggle between love and anger. In this album, the lyrics lean towards love as opposed to the anger in Dirty Wings. It seems that even the angry songs are filled with love in this album, whereas in the other, even the most loving songs seemed to be filled with some degree of anger.

Some of my favorite tracks include track 2, "Effortless", track 1, "Darien Gap", and track 11 "River Run Dry".

Overall, this is a really excellent production. Woodward's inherent talent is evident, as well as the effort put into the album. The cover art is excellent and the lyrics aren't cliche and mass produced. If you liked Dirty Wings, this album is the perfect complement. If you like this album and you haven't checked out Dirty Wings, that should be your next stop.

I'm buying

22/09/07

My fondness for this album grows every time I listen to it. Even better, I've now found a creative commons supporting artist that "normal folks" (ie, my college peers) would approve of. I'm going to buy some CDs of his as soon as I have money again.

The lyrics are clever and clear. The acoustic rock sounds blend perfectly with Woodward's intimate vocals. Ok, so I probably haven't said anything original in this review, but these things are all true. If you don't believe it, download the album free of charge and guilt and decide for yourself.

Josh's Best

19/05/09

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Josh Woodward is someone pretty gosh darn special. Usually, when I stumble upon an artist with such an extensive discography, I hesitate to listen to it all. Surely someone who periodically, even shamelessly releases full albums every year should suffer some creative detriment. And to release them all for free download? It's unheard of.

But it seems that Josh gets better every time. "Not Quite Connected" remains, 2 years later, his opus: this is indie pop at its finest. Instantly accessible and aggravatingly catchy, NQC proves once and for all that Josh Woodward is ultimately an indie god.

From the light pop/rock of "Darien Gap" and "Effortless," from the progressive acoustics of "Untitled" to the haunting pickings of "Honcho Graham From Birmingham," Woodward soars above and beyond expectations.

I've been a fan for a while now. And from the look of it, that'll stay the same. Keep 'em coming.

An acoustic, melodic masterpiece

31/08/08

This is more acoustic and folky than some of his other albums, but I think it is actually my favourite. Each song is strong, both lyrically and melodically, and the songs work both individually and as an album.

I'm also a great fan of how Josh releases his music, and would urge people to check out some of his earlier albums on his website.

I was just sitting, contemplating and thinking about life in general.And want a album. That fitted my mood. And hay presto... I found this old, but new one.. for me.. And I bathed in glory..As I sat listening to Josh's voice.. And savouring the pure, heavenly delights of his voice and great meaningful, heartfelt, sincere lyrics.And the music. just fitted in perfectly to everything. And this whole album. Made me feel so good, contented and at peace.. To this wonderful lightly stimulating, yet laid back, very entertaining, acoustic, pop,rock album.
