Life Pursuit Review
I have a few albums from Belle & Sebastian and this one is different. The quality and momentum of the music is nice on this album. I have read that this album was more produced than the others. And I love it! When I first listened to this my boyfriend and I were driving 30 miles south of Joliet from Chicago on Christmas Day. It was a melancholy day, with snow blowing by while we drove through the cornfields. This album impressed me...actually made me sing along since it had the liner notes in the CD. Seriously, how many CDs make you want to take out the liner notes so you can sing along? Also, what I found interesting is that the liner notes also included countless questions from, what I assume, are random fans that were answered in writing by Belle & Sebastian. Quite entertaining, I thought. All in all a great album. Highly recommended. Highly ancticipated new album from Belle & Sebastian features more of their simple, melodic, moody, and poetic songs. Advanced Japanese release. EMI. 2006.

"Honey, Loving You Is the Greatest Thing..." - Richard Hine -
For some reason, I didn't listen much to Belle & Sebastian's "The Life Pursuit" back in the cold winter days of 2006 when it was released. (Maybe I was still enjoying "Dear Catastrophe Waitress" too much. Maybe I got distracted by Camera Obscura.) But a casual decision to give the album a re-listen in mid-2009 has quickly turned the album into my new summer soundtrack. The songs are jaunty, cheering, colorful and packed with wonderful characters and lyrics. Today's favorite tracks include: "Act of the Apostle," "Funny Little Frog," "Sukie in the Graveyard" and "Another Sunny Day." By tomorrow, though, others will have lodged in my brain and will be demanding to be played first.
