Since all the lines make sense, and almost all the stanzas almost make sense, you keep waiting for the songs to make sense. And waiting, and waiting, through calm, memorable arrangements that are never in a hurry.
-
The production and arrangements on End Of Love are more varied and exciting than on Snide's previous efforts. [#8, p.106]
-
80Barzelay's eye for quirky detail and ear for delicious melody keeps a nice balance to things. [Jun 2005, p.105]
-
80An almost uniformly excellent outing.
-
Clem Snide's fifth album holds no surprises for anyone who has heard albums one through four. End of Love is just as whip smart, goofy, and satisfying as any of them.
-
These songs are silly without being cloying. [May 2005, p.134]
-
Triangulates the common ground between Luna, American Music Club and Red House Painters. [#14, p.105]
-
80Sharply written and softly played, the perfectly bittersweet End Of Love balances the books. [#67, p.87]
-
End Of Love tracks like "The Sound Of German Hip-Hop," "Tiny European Cars," and "Jews For Jesus Blues" tell sketchy stories that describe moments of surprising awareness.
-
It's sweet and sad and frequently hilarious.
-
You'll find yourself laughing through the tears. [25 Feb 2005, p.102]
-
70A winning collection of giddy, C&W laments. [Jun 2005, p.111]
-
[Barzelay's] sharp eye and endearingly nerdy voice enlivens his band's meticulous acoustic pitter-patter.
-
67End of Love isn't Barzalay's best collection of songs, and the production tends to gloss over the instruments so songs like "Collapse" and "When We Become" sound subdued and blandly unobtrusive.
-
Contemplative and comforting, this is inoffensive Americana for the brainy set.
-
60Still shambles too freely but features stellar moments. [Jun 2005, p.108]
-
60This smart and sophisticated country-rock however, is punctuated by uninspired songs that sound like outtakes from Recovering the Satellites.
