Review

It could be said that music makes strange bedfellows, and REM's Peter Buck cowriting and producing a Mark Eitzel album would be a perfect example. Departing from 1996's beautifully depressing, jazz flavored 60 Watt Silver Lining, we find Eitzel blending his tormented bourbon and sweat-drenched lyrics with Buck's shiny, happy, jangly pop. Quite surprisingly, it works. Buck's influence not only brings out a new found passion in Eitzel's vocals, but also highlights the glitter of hope in his work that has always been present, but usually overlooked. Quite frankly, Eitzel rocks out for the first time in his career and it sounds great--which is not to infer that it sounds optimistic. The album's premier love song is, after all, a little downer called "In Your Life" ("You're stuck with me / I'm hanging by / In you're life ... You threw away your life / Throw it to me"). --Bill Snyder
