Customer Reviews
best of three
It's the most dark, bizarre and cerebral of the three in my opinion. This is my personal favorite of the three cds. Vol. 1 is the catchiest, but Volume three excels in the lyric department with astounding songs like "The Death of Ferdinand De Saussure", "Love in the Shadows", "Wee Nae Bairn Ye'll me Beget", "Yeah! oh, Yeah!". Opening the cd with the uber-hip song "underwear", this cd establishes itself as the most unique and alluring of the three.

23 Good Songs
1, which I give 5 stars, then was disappointed with Vol. I dipped my toe into the 69 Love Songs set with Vol. 2, which I give 3 stars, but the group redeems itself with the last set of songs (I believe it's just the way they sequenced the songs). Anyway, Vol. 3 has consistantly good songs - none are perfect - but they're all good. They skip through a variety of styles, but they are all inventive. My recommendation - get Vol's 1 & 3.

love is nice - sometimes
I bought the 3rd volume of his recently released 3 CD package, 69 Love Songs, and I plan to buy the other two as soon as I can save up the money. Stephin Merritt is The Magnetic Fields and boy does he write a lot of songs. On this album you'll find a wide variety of musical styles from eighties synth pop to baroque,complete with a harpsichord, or a synth made to sound like one. You won't be hearing this stuff in any clubs, in fact Merritt had planned to preform the music in more 'loungy' settings.

If you like GAP ads or yearn for new, less depressing, Joy Division, pick up one or all of these CD's. If not. . . well I really don't care. I've got better things to do than worry about what crappy music everyones into these days.
