    Doughty Melodic

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 17, 2005 | 1 out of 1 found this Haughty Melodic review helpful

    Pros: Lyrical depth, rich imagery, emotionally evocative

    Cons: Occasionally a little too introspective

    Mike does it again...I didn't know how this was going to work without the rest of Soul Coughing, but this CD hasn't been out of my player much since I got it. There are few CD's/Albums that I am content to listen to the whole thing withou...t skipping tracks (you know what I'm talking about) but this one is full to the brim with gems. I went in loving "Looking at the world..." but soon this was overshadowed by the drearily optimistic "White Lexus", the ultra-catchy "I hear the bells", and the lyrically bouncy and addictive "Tremendous Brunettes" (I do not hold the whole Dave Matthews thing against him). Let's not forget the impossibly romantic "Sunken eyed girl" or the grittily-gorgeous "Long black American Car". Okay, I just love the whole thing and can't say enough smarmy things about it. So, buy it already! Read more Less

    Pure Genuis

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 16, 2005 | 4 out of 8 found this Haughty Melodic review helpful

    Pros: songwriting, voice, pure artistic ability, ingenuity

    Cons: none that I've noticed so far

    This is truly one of the best albums I've heard in a long time. Anything this man touches is pure genius, and should be cherished. Mike Doughty is an incredible songwriter, with a knack for original lyrically amazing songs. Favorites on this CD:... Looking at the World..., Grey Ghost, Busting Up a Starbucks. Buy this CD without regret, and see him live - an occasion that is not to be missed. Enjoy! Read more Less

    well worth 15 bucks

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 5, 2007

    Pros: the entire cd is listenable begining to end

    Cons: the disc is too short not as much instrumental depth as i would've preferred

    i thought the entire cd was excellent the first song to last. From catchy beginings like 'bottom of a well' with fast melodies and lyrics catching your imagination from Mikes perspective, to slower more emotional, 'american car' and &...#39;white lexus' rhythmically sound, and powerful lyrically. The cd also contains a great duet for Dave Matthews fans 'tremendous brunettes' although it only features one quick verse from Dave it's one of my personal favorites on the disc. I dont believe there are any weak points on this album. Each song fairly diverse from the last. Once I pop it into my player it stays there for a week,literally. BUY IT! Read more Less

    Best in years

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 3, 2005

    Pros: Soul Coughing re-visited

    Cons: Still not Soul Coughing

    This is Mike's best effort in year's. It has a Soul Coughing feel with Mike Doughty's own personal stamp. Musically it's as close to SC as he's come since departing from his original band, yet it is still raw enough to where it...9;s not an effort at duplication. His voice is as good as ever and lyrically you can't go wrong. Anyone who speaks of "busting up a Starbucks" can't be too far off. In addition, the single is brilliant by exclaiming "I feel, as if I'm looking at the world from the bottom of a well". Maybe it seems dark but it hits the nail on the head for many. Since purchasing the cd I can't stop listening. Read more Less

    Pros: GREAT BEAT

    Cons: NONE

    The new Mike Daughty: Haughty Melodic is one of the must haves everyone should go out and get. Bump it in the car, listen to it at home, you won't regret buying the CD because you'll love all the tracks....

    More Haughty, Less Melodic

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 15, 2005 | 2 out of 5 found this Haughty Melodic review helpful

    Pros: Can't beat the lyrics and style

    Cons: Songs tend to be a little overproduced.

    This is a performer that you have to see live. His sound is best "stripped-down" just guitar and vocals, maybe some percussion, but nothing too fancy. I was expecting something in this vein a la "Skittish" or "Rockity Roll&qu...ot; his former self produced records. This one is a little over the top for me, though I do like it; Haughty Melodic hasen't left the car CD player since May 3rd, but I was expecting something different. Oh, and the whole Dave Mathews thing, I understand what he's trying to do, but it's a little lame. Read more Less
