Reviews Customer Reviews for This Delicate Thing We Ve Made 2 CDS Excellent Rating: What can I say? This album is very impressive, and has some really incredible songs.
I'm not sure about his transition though, I'm not entirely sure that I 'buy' his new Scissor Sisters persona... I think that he has tried to re-invent himself, which musically, completely worked, although in some ways I think that it came at a price.
It's not what you would call a romantic CD, in the past he has released lots of love songs (Truly, I Knew I Loved You, Insatiable, I Miss You), and he has really let all that go on this album, it's so much more upbeat, and instead of the topic being love, it's life in general.
After I repeatedly played the songs that stand out (Verge, Future Holds a Lions Heart, Setting Sun, Conversation With God, How To Build a Time Machine), I found myself listening to the other songs, and after I gave them a chance, I adored them as much as the insanely catchy dance stuff. Especially 'I Just Want You To Love Me' Written entirely by Darren, 'Maybe' written about his friend who died of HIV, and 'The Only One'. I have no idea why, but 'The Only One' reminded me 'Don't Speak' by No Doubt, although they are really nothing alike, but there is a definite connection there.
I really like this CD, but as I say, even though I love Darren, I'm not sure about the rest of his re-invention. I don't find myself believing it after being a fan for 11 years ;-)
Customer Reviews for This Delicate Thing We Ve Made 2 CDS Cd Absolutely brilliant. Rating: In a time where pop artists are creating disposable music, and releasing albums with one or two memorable songs on them, this album is a marvelous exception. This album speaks to the power of the independent artist, rather than one constrained by the shortsightedness of the recording industry. A double-album, a "concept album" (just like they used to do), and an album chock full of memorable songs.. "This Delicate Thing We've Made" could be one of the best collections of music ever compiled by one artist. Honestly, it's absolutely brilliant.
