Want One
What Is The Official Review Talking About?
The official review states that Want One has made an even bigger grab for
mainstream acceptance than its predecessor (Poses). How is that even a
rational thought from anyone who knows music? I mean, seriously, Poses
is EASILY Rufus most accessible to the masses album, one made under
the most pressure to shine, made to live up to the praise heaped on his
debut, made to continue the growth of popularity, made while Rufus was at
his most insecure and drugged-out, etc.
As a Rufus fanatic, I dont think even all those things can make the man too
radio friendly or thoughtless, as Poses is still fantastic... but that said,
WANT ONE is my favorite Wainwright album. It is utter brilliance.
No way is Want One a more calculated grab at the Radio than Poses. Not
in a million years. In fact, the Want duo is by far Rufus most ambitious (and
in many ways, least accessible) work to date, featuring the broadest sonic
palette and the most daring instrumentation. The arrangement and
production of Want One is not the kind one aiming for radio or popularity
would utilize, it is the kind that someone allowing themselves to fully
express themselves would utilize.
Want One is Rufus clean and sober, doing what he loves best with no
pretense or preconception. Having already missed out on the huge
mainstream, he returns to make music for himself, from a confident and
assured place. For those of us who track with his tastes and flavors, this is
an awesome thing.
Want One is the purest, most unfiltered Rufus.
And, as with many other great artists, its that crucial middle album (think:
Revolver, OK Computer, Absolution, Pet Sounds, etc) which stands
perfectly in the balance between the primal simplicity of early work and the
highly-developed but somewhat less impacting latter work.
Not to be missed.
