Reviews Customer Reviews for Wood      Excellent lyrics and tight harmony      Rating:      I'm playing this album again as I write this review. I can't get enough of the emotion and feeling displayed in their storytelling lyrics. I like this album better than the more upbeat and funny content of their other albums. I like the songs because the lyrics are not entirely direct, allowing you to imagine scenes as they lay them out in song.     Customer Reviews for Wood Cd      An underrated album      Rating:      I have occasionally seen people call this their least favorite Moxy Früvous album, or say that it took a while for it to grow on them. I actually liked it from the first time I heard it. I would imagine that the negative opinions are largely due to the fact that it really contains none of the satirical humor so common on Bargainville, the B Album, and even You Will Go to the Moon. If that is what you're expecting, you might be disappointed, but I would advise you to take a few listens to Wood with an open mind. These songs are excellent, if a little on the sad side. A lot of the tracks here seem to be about relationships falling apart, although this is also the most esoteric Früvous album, and it is often difficult to figure out exactly what the band is talking about in any given song. Some of the standout tracks (at least for me) include the majestic and mysterious "Down From Above," the catchy banjo-based "The Present Tense Tureen," the bittersweet "On Her Doorstep," and the just plain weird "Sad Today." While Wood might not be what you would expect from Früvous, it is an amazing album.
