iTunes Music Review - So Jealous (4 out of 5)

So Jealous
- 4 out of 5
- Tegan and Sara
- Reviewed by Darla Sasaki
- So Jealous is the third album from these sisters, and easily the one to single out for an introduction to their music. Some people may not get on board with their vocal styles, which are slightly over-driven and sound more like one and a half voices, rather than two. (Their singing style begs the question: When twins sing together, is it like one person with two voices?)
  
  Most of the songs on this album are head-bobbers, though repeated listenings may leave you with the distinct feeling that you've heard the same four songs over and over again.
  
  The duo is still young, so expect their next offering to flip the switch on more complex and diverse songwriting. Crank up the volume for "I Know I Know I Know" or the title track, "So Jealous." In fact, turn it up and drive with the windows down. Your trip will jam just a little bit more.

Darla began playing the piano when she was eight. But she's lazy, so she switched to the clarinet in order to read only one line of music at a time. She then expanded to the alto and soprano sax to spice up her woodwind life. Meanwhile, she listens to everything from The Beach Boys to Boulderdash (which, if not interpreted alphabetically, is a lot of music, but is otherwise only the groups between "be-" and "bo-"). She places full blame on her friends for her eclectic tastes. In an ideal world, she would want an easy way to describe the music she loves, mix tapes would still be a hot hobby, and the RIAA would get over themselves.
