Album Review
There's no doubt that Ben Lee means well, intending this collection of sunny pop and singsong folk to bridge the chasm between genders and cultures across the world, as he truly does wonder "What's So Bad (About Feeling Good)?," the leadoff song that sets the tone for The Rebirth of Venus. Lee wonders what's wrong about a boy playing with a Barbie doll and sees nothing wrong with claiming "I'm a Woman Too," a piece of hippie-dippy pop that seeks to inherit the throne of cluelessly sexist agitprop pop from John Lennon's "Woman Is the N****r of the World," one of six songs Lee covers in an essentially acoustic bonus EP for Rebirth. Because Lee wears his open heart on his sleeve, it's hard to dislike the guy: his head's in the right place and he does have a way with an ingratiating hook. Even if Lee's puppy-dog earnestness winds up being off-putting in the long run on The Rebirth of Venus, his songs of solidarity are basically sweet in nature.
Customer Reviews
Brilliant!
What a quaint album we have here. Before now I was only listening to Ben through what was released commercially, but something made me buy this album on impulse. Now I can't stop listening to it. Stand out songs would have to be " I love pop music", "Sing", "What's so bad (about feeling good?), and "I'm a woman too". A great CD to listen to while driving.
Typical, solid Ben Lee Sound - Awesome Stuff
Ben's new album has that typical 'Ben Lee' soul-y sort of sound that makes you wanna dance, and carries a message of something important. Must-have for all Ben Lee fans
love it!!!!!omg so awsome
im not much of a fan of this peeps' music, i was actually searching for something when i stumbled upon this random album of awsomeness, and i like that one song "i love pop music" most!
