| Babybird - Ugly Beautiful Classification: Pop Band: Babybird Tracks: - Goodnight - Candy Girl - Jesus Is My Girlfriend - I Didn't Want To Wake You Up - Dead Bird Sings - Atomic Soda - You're Gorgeous - Bad Shave 2 - Cornershop - King Bing - You & Me - 45 & Fat - Too Handsome To Be Homeless - July - Baby Bird Ugly Beautiful Says It All There is some very distasteful and disquieting stuff here -- start with the insert cover which may be a toe-tagged corpse, follow that with the blasphemous-to-some Jesus Is My Girlfriend and Bad Shave, and then I Didn't Want to Wake You Up (not that he could have because the object of the song is quite dead, thank you). You get the idea. A couple other cuts miss; Atomic Soda in particular seems endless. I just hit the skip button for them and doing so still Leaves eight or Nine wonderful pop songs, twisted pop in a couple cases (Candy Girl and You're Gorgeous) but tuneful hooks and singable choruses abound. The CD closes with two wonderful bittersweet Love songs, July and Baby Bird, pushing you out of this odd CD with a lingering taste of sweetness and, yes, innocence. sexy & creepy & just plain good pop babybird is amazing. excellent songwriting, excellent voice. it's, as i said, sexy & creepy, but also bouyant & uplifting. "45 & fat" will get stuck in your head for weeks. Ugly Is Beautiful More of a greatest hits than an album proper, Ugly Beautiful pulls songs from several of BB's indie releases for his major labor debut. It's fairly out there, some in England thought that I Didn't Want to Wake You Up was about murder or necrophilia (though I don't). BB has been compared to Echo and The Bunnymen, Robyn Hitchcock and The Smiths. He's mournful and a little low key. Still, I recommend it highly.
