"eligible, not too stupid, intelligible, and cute as Cupid."

Date of Review:  Oct 28, 2003
The Bottom Line: With less filler, this could have easily been five stars. Easy.
Review:
Elegant and expansive, the Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs is by equal turns funny and sad, sweet and cynical, retro and excitingly new. What in the hands of a lesser songwriter could have quickly degenerated into an uninspired gimmick - 69...

I Love It When You Read to Me & You... You Can Read Me Anything

Date of Review:  Feb 14, 2006
The Bottom Line: 69 Love Songs is a Fun, Ambitious Collection of Love Songs from Stephin Merritt & Co.
Review: Whether in being in side projects like the Gothic Archies, the 6ths, and the Future Bible Heroes, Stephin Merritt truly has an uncanny knack for pop music with his unique ability to write catchy pop songs in a variety of styles. While he often does...

Merritt's Masterpiece

Date of Review:  Apr 16, 2004
The Bottom Line: Buy it! Buy it! Buy it!
Review: Ask twenty Magnetic Fields fans to name their favourite track on 69 Love Songs and you'd probably get twenty different answers. That's if you can find twenty fans in the first place. I haven't encountered any other Stephin Merritt obsessives, and...

"Some of it is just transcendental...

Date of Review:  Apr 5, 2006
The Bottom Line: Released in 1999 these CDs have never gone more than a couple weeks without being listened to. These albums could replace whatever Webster's definition of love is.
Review: ... some of it is just really dumb" The Book of Love

The Magnetic Fields' "69 Love Songs" is a musical achievement on a level that few would ever attempt and even fewer could ever achieve. Over the course of its three, sprawling discs it...

big box o' love

Date of Review:  Jan 20, 2000
Review: I'm not a long-time Magnetic Fields fan, as a lot of other people seem to be. In fact, I'd never even heard of them until a couple months ago, when I heard two of my friends cryptically discussing them, and was intrigued. After that, I kept hearing...

"The Book Of Love"

Date of Review:  May 16, 2001
The Bottom Line: An amazing album! Buy it! It enlarges our horizons subtly while making sure we are properly entertained. Innovative. Something new to hear - every time you put it on
Review: 69 Love Songs:

As the album title suggests the theme is "love". This word carries with it a vast array of connotations such as: affection, romance, sex, marriage, happiness, meaning, beauty etc. But also: despair, pain, grief, betrayal,...

Sweet little painfuls.

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 1999
Review: Painful, playful songs. There's something about the lyrics...I can't put my finger on it...something to do with being old enough to know better, with selective denial and playful tendencies. Something to do with passionate restraint, with...

A Masterpiece- Instant Pop Classic.

Date of Review:  Aug 16, 2000
Review: Being a long time fan of the Magnetic Fields, I preordered 69 Love Songs last year. Absorbing a new work by a favorite artist, be it in music, writing, or art, is always a tricky task-- the artist may go into a new direction that you don't like, or...

More than the title entails

Date of Review:  Jun 7, 2001
The Bottom Line: One of those albums that will make your friends jealous. After they listen to it they will also want to prominently display it in their collections.
Review: This boxed set is a must for collectors of Indie Rock. Mr. Meritt and company have developed the most intellectually stimulating conceptual album in years. "69 Love Songs" encompasses what we expect in independent labels; a music group that fears no...

Drawn to the Magnetic Fields

Date of Review:  Dec 11, 1999
Review: There is hope for pop-rock in the new millenium, friends. His name is Stephin Merritt, and he fronts the Magnetic Fields. Their newest, and best, release on Merge Records is called '69 Love Songs'. The record is in fact 3 separate works, each with...
