Major League "Wonder" Album Review
Solid Effort - Good Within Its Field - But Not For Everyone
"Wonder" why it's not for everyone? This connecting flow of stylistically diverse tracks by different hip-hop artists that sound like an hour long song - could prove as a double-edged sword. This displays many strengths, but would make a quantum leap foward if he got as diverse with its beats as he already is with its melodies and orchestration.

Naid "Waking Up" Album Review
"Waking" still sleepy
Swedish electronica band Nåid is Martin Landqvist, a musician/producer best known for working with the Cardigans. But he produces a strangely lackluster US debut (and second album) in "Waking Up," losing a lot of the texture and edge that his self-titled album had. "Waking Up" needs to wake up.
It starts off with ethereal female vocals and a steady beat in the title track, which would have been fun if it were a minute and a half long. At five minutes, it becomes tiresome and repetitive. Then the album blossoms out a bit into the distorted, dark "Stars" and cold "Turn On (City Lights)." Nåid hits his groove with the vivid "Eternal Life," which sounds like a sparkling cry from the heart.
But things start to dip back down with the dull "Shout It Out" and the too-slow slices of techno in "Icba" and "Better Day." There's another upturn with the swelling trip-hop ballad "This Could Be Our First Day," complete with electronic swooshes that sound almost like bird cries. But then Nåid loses his footing again with the final two tracks, which are generic and forgettable.
If you have a winning sound, stick to what made it good. Experimentation is a good thing, but Nåid dumped most of what made his debut such a good listen -- gone are the tribal instruments and timeless sound. Instead, it's a collection of generic dance music, with a couple of standout tracks.
In the technical sense, the biggest problem with Nåid's music is that it's too repetitive. Only a few rise above the basic repeating rhythm, and songs like the sentimental-sounding "Better Day" don't even have the danceability to make up for their repetitiveness. They're rendered almost unlistenable because they aren't mellow enough to be trip-hop, but they're too slow to be raw electronica.
Nåid has a good command of electronic sounds, and his guitar work is solid. But the newer sound saps away the heart of the music, leaving it feeling bland, ordinary and generic. Sure, he has plenty of talent -- in songs like the chilly, heartwrenching "This Could Be Our First Day," it's hard not to feel a thrill.
"Waking Up" is more like going to sleep. Nåid dumbs down his sound for his US debut, but it makes the music boring rather than universally appealing. Nice try, but try putting some flavor back into this bland tangle.
