Be The Cowboy

Omg!! This casette is incredible, beautiful design of the tape itself and the sound is great. It also comes with the lyrics to each song!!! That was a really pleasant surprise :)

Sounds amazing!!!

My all time favorite album love it so much

one of my favorite mitski albums

Arrived fast and in great condition. If you're looking for a real coke bottle green vinyl this is what they're supposed to look like! Album is obviously awesome.

As expected.

The music is great, but unfortunately I have to give a 4 because the case came cracked, so it was mishandled.

Having soured on streaming and MP3s, I wanted a CD copy of this album because I like "Nobody". I've been happy and impressed with the other songs. I'm not a musician, so I don't have the vocabulary to specify which qualities I like about the music, but the lyrics are original and compelling, the vocals are unique and spellbinding, the arrangements are creative and the overall production is excellent. I'd like to find other Mitski music. Something you haven't heard before.

Es maravilloso este disco y me encanta en la edición en la que viene. El disco es resistente y tiene un gran sonido. El único detalle es que su funda es de papel y yo pensé que iba a venir en jewel box, sólo recalco esto para que lo tengan en cuenta ya que a mí se me fue checar este detalle. Vino en excelentes condiciones y a tiempo. Gran compra.

Beleza The cowboy é meu preferido da Mitski. Para mim, aqui se encontra um trabalho perfeito, musicalmente, falando. O preço estava bom e sigo sempre valorizando as mídias físicas. Entrega no prazo e como o cd não é revestido em acrílico, sem chances de avarias. Adorei!!!!!

At the start of her song 'Me And My Husband,' incredibly gifted singer songwriter Mitski emits a huge exasperated sigh. Could it be that like previous reviewer Mark S. she too is disappointed by the muted response on Amazon thus far for her unmissable new album 'Be The Cowboy'? When those reviews do eventually start to roll in, it's a dead certainty that someone will gripe about the record's 32 minute playing time. 'Puberty 2', the excellent album that introduced this listener to the talents of Mitski is actually of similar length ; and they do say after all that less is more.... Adopting fictional personas for 'Be The Cowboy', Mitski moves away from the candid soul baring and biting introspection of 'Puberty 2'; the end result being a triumph of an album bristling with pop sensibility. Wall to wall with 80'S synth doodling, tinkling keys and organ, melodic picking and of course THAT seductive voice, the 14 tracks here would in a sane world make this lady a household name. These wonderful traits are perfectly illustrated by 'Nobody', a beautifully sung mix of 70's soft rock and disco elements that somehow make the state of loneliness seem uplifting. As usual, all the instruments are played by Mitski and producer Patrick Hyland, save for some spirited horn contributors that do the stomping 'Why Didn't You Stop Me?' and 'Remember My Name' no harm whatsoever. Frequently compared with St.Vincent, Mitski does at least share the latter's aptitude on the guitar, and she colours this album with catchy jangling and curt stabs when the fancy takes her. Taking to the piano to play the resigned, dutiful wife on 'Me And My Husband, Mitski's sense of irony shines through, and the "sigh" I mentioned earlier makes perfect sense : ..."and I am the idiot with the painted face in the corner , taking up space". Elsewhere on 'Washing Machine Heart', she enacts the wronged woman seemingly tolerating her partner's infidelity : "Baby though I've closed my eyes, I know who you pretend I am". Awash with swirling synths and a Goldfrappish electro rhythm backing track, the song is over all too quickly. Likewise the countryish self loathing of 'Lonesome Love', which I guarantee will leave you wanting more. Other highlights include the pining 'Pink In The Night', a tale of fading, unreciprocated love and 'A Pearl', whose building guitars and dramatic horn flourishes further emphasise the sentiment of passion going off the boil. From behind the metaphor of an oft visited High School Reunion, Two Slow Dancers' gently ease the album to a close, with it's poignant lyrics questioning our mortality to a moving soundtrack of synthesised strings. With the mass majority of music critics already lauding 'Be The Cowboy' as one of the top albums of 2018 and Mitski's best to date, I think it would be a great disservice to pass her and this music off as 'wacky' or 'quirky' as I know some people lazily do. Like the character Mitski urges us to be in the album title, she can proudly leave town and head off into the sunset with her head held high. Thoroughly recommended.

日本人とアメリカ人の間に生まれたMitskiさん、最初に聞いたGeyserではcoccoのようでした。でも他の曲では 他の個性が見られます。声や発声方法は小野リサさんを思い出します。さまざまな顔（声？）を見せながら全体的 にMitskiさんになっていてそういう魅力です。メロディーが良いのですが、１曲が短く、すぐに終わってしまいます。 もっと聞きたいのに、美しいメロディーを繰り返すことなく、パッと終わるところに潔さというか美学を感じます。 アレンジも所々に現代風のノイズを入れ不穏な空気を出していてとても良いです。好みです。 今後どのようになっていくのかが楽しみなアーティストさんの１人になりました。

tralasciando la bellezza dell'album è perfetto tutto è arrivato senza imperfezioni grazie mille
