Album Review
Karl Wallinger defined the ornate, Beatlesque World Party sound on their debut Private Revolution, and he never strayed from that blueprint over the next decade, even if he augmented it with other '60s and '70s pop flourishes. Egyptology finds Wallinger at his most conservative, sticking to the basic late-'60s pop and psychedelia that distinguished Private Revolution and Goodbye Jumbo. As always, his production is tasteful and subtle, revealing new layers of sonic detail on each listen, and his songcraft is sturdy and tuneful, if not remarkable. Few of the songs jump out upon the first few listens, yet there are no weak moments on the record, which makes Egyptology, of all things, a workmanlike release. It's not flashy or extravagant, and it may not have the inspiration of Goodbye Jumbo, but it does deliver a collection of fine pop tunes without pretension, and that alone makes it a better album than the overly ambitious Bang!.
Customer Reviews
brilliant pop songs
World Party is a great (one man) band, with nothing but catchy (and socially concious) pop gems. If you like Neil Finn, Michael Penn, The Beatles, Get all the world party stuff!
Unrecognized Wonder
My uncle gave this to me last summer (along with goodbye jumbo, their better known album) and i though it was weird. But eventually i grew to love it and now realize the majesty of World Party. The depth and musicality of each song rings true, and not one is like any of the others. A true gift to the whole musical world. Best songs (in my opinion) are She's the One, Hercules, The Whole of the Night and Always. If you like Goodbye Jumbo, or simply pure 90s pop, defenitely pick this one up!
OUTSTANDING
World Party is a terrific band, I really love "She's the One" and "Vanity Fair" But get the whole album if you can. This is great stuff.
