Well, if it's good enough for Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen, and Guns N'
Roses, it must be good enough for Lambchop, and Kurt Wagner's super-sized
Nashville chamber pop ensemble have followed in the footsteps of the
above-mentioned artists by releasing two albums of new material on the same
day. No, You C'mon was written and recorded at the same time as its sister
set, Aw C'mon, and stylistically the two albums are cut from the same mold
-- expansive, lushly arranged pop melodies with classic R&B and country
accents, often accompanied by Wagner's engaging cryptic lyrics and
nicotine-laced vocals, given life by a 13-piece band and aided by polished
string arrangements. In fact, the most difficult question to answer about
this music is just what's the difference between Aw C'mon and No, You
C'mon? The obvious response is not much of anything, particularly in terms
of execution and quality -- the two albums sound like twin sides of the
same coin, and while Aw C'mon doesn't have a track that rocks as hard as
"Nothing Adventurous Please," No, You C'mon lacks a cut as willfully odd as
"Women Help to Create the Kind of Men They Despise." In short, there's a
serious case of yin and yang going on between these two albums, and it's
all but impossible to single out one as better than the other -- if you
love this band, you're going to want to have both, as they represent
Lambchop's strange but beautiful worldview writ large, and if you've never
heard the band before, both represent the band's current state of mind
equally well. In fact, these two discs would have made for a fine double
album, and if Lambchop have chosen to regard them as two separate entities,
that just means they've released two of the finest albums of 2004 instead
of just one.
