Frightened Rabbit – The Midnight Organ Fight (2008)

I feel silly even writing this review because everyone and their mother has reviewed this album, loved it, and has probably already told you, the loyal QuickCrit reader, to go buy/listen to the fucking thing. If not, lucky you, because it's “two-cents” time: The Midnight Organ Fight actually IS awesome. There are plenty of charming melodies & strummy (technical term) acoustic guitar bits for the ladies, and fantastically classy, reality-based lyrics, (such as: “Jesus... is just a Spanish boy’s name,” or “You’re the shit and I’m knee deep in it,” and my personal favorite, “I’m drunk, I’m drunk and you’re probably on pills / If we both have the same diseases its irrelevant girl”) and a few rock-out tracks for the gents. So, if you haven’t got the message already, The Midnight Organ Fight is legit and certainly worth tracking down & checking out.

A few to start with: “Keep Yourself Warm,” “Head Rolls Off,” & “Good Arms vs. Bad Arms.”
