Indigo Girls - The Power Of Two - The Indigo Girls are always consistent, putting out albums that are always a high quality mix of folk and rock. On Swamp most of the album is acoustic and rather quiet. There are a couple of more rocking tunes on the disc, but this is a rather low key album for the most part. Several tracks that continue to be staples of the girls live show are here including the sing along ditty Least Complicated and the pleasant Power Of Two. If you are a fan of what the Indigo Girls do then you should enjoy this album. If you are not, this is not a disc that will probably change your mind. There are other Indigo Girls albums that I like better, but this is certainly another solid release.
Excellent, solid album - Probably the best album that this group has put out. All of the tracks are decent and it pulls you through from beginning to end. Worth your money.
There s life down below me, though - I like a few of the songs off this CD, but it is by far their best effort. For me it was very much same song, second verse. I appreciate that their laid back lyrical style has persisted over decades, now, but beyond about three tracks on this CD, I found it boring. Just not for me.
10 best albums ever - The Indigo Girls have consistently churned out great album after great album throughout their career, but Swamp Ophelia holds as their best album. Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have very distinct writing styles, yet each serves as a compliment to the other. Amy s guts as a vocalist and a songwriter shine on Reunion & Fugitive. Emily s gift of melodic guitar and intricate harmonies flow on Mystery & Least Complicated. On Swamp Ophelia, the diverse writing styles of the girls is blended seamlessly from track to track. Swamp Ophelia s showcases are The Wood Song & This Train Revisited - two songs that couldn t be more different, more powerful, nor more perfect to represent their writers and the glorious album they appear on. Amy & Emily, thank you both for the wonderful music you create & thank you for this classic album.
God, I love this album - I rediscovered this record while I was studying for an exam. I d forgotten how textured and yet melodic it is. Truly one of their very best, they haven t rocked this hard since then. (No, the forgettable Despite Our Differences doesn t count.) Who can forget the insane rockout on Touch Me Fall and the wonderful This Train Revised? Then there are the classics Least Complicated and Power of Two. Pure perfection.
