This album has some very good songs like Cello Solo and It Tango. John Digester has compared writing for Laurie Anderson’s new album to that on ‘United States IV’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. After seeing Cello Solo, I had to have a good Laurie Anderson cd. I Love United States IV from start to finish!
It Tango stands out to me for its audacious melody and sheer beauty. Music in Blue Lagoon is perfect as in all tracks of United States IV. Nice and different song. In Stiff Neck you won’t find any flashy solos. Laurie Anderson is one of artists that allow his songs like Telephone Song to stand on their own and be heard. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. We’ve Got Four Big Clocks (And They’re All Ticking) is nothing but pure genius. Song For Two Jims - Check out that bassline! Over The River is a good listen every once in a while. Mach 20 is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. Rising Sun is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. This is one hell of a track. The Stranger is the most memorable and marvelous. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Going Somewhere? is probably one of Laurie Anderson’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. Fireworks is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Dog Show is a striking and quite long song. Lighting Out For The Territories catches attention immediately,
