I've recently heard quite a few people talking about Tegan & Sara's new album Sainthood, and most of them haven't had nice things to say. Most of the comments were along the lines of "Well, it's not that it's bad...It just isn't like their old stuff." I must say, I agree. However, I think that it's a good thing that Sainthood is different. I've always been a fan of the Quin's but after a while I did begin to realize that a lot of their music was basically "indie" music for emo kids. They've always been different, but upon closer inspection I noticed that their music wasn't really as mature as it could have been. Whether or not they intended to develop such a juvenile image is beside the point, because that is exactly what they did. Well, I am glad to say that Sainthood is a much needed break from the musical adolescence of their past albums. Tracks like "Alligator" and "On Directing" seem to traveled quite far from the almost playground repetitive melodies of past tracks like "Walking with a Ghost."
Take a listen for yourself and let me know what you think [super cute video!!]
