Patrick Wolf: The Magic PositionFontana: 5/1/2007
The Magic Position is Patrick Wolf's third and most joyful album. Actually, it's his only joyful album. His previous two were some of the most deliciously depressing albums ever released. Wolf's a changed man, now, as a result of having fallen in love. The songs are more flamboyant and over-the-top than all his other songs combined. This album has instilled an even greater admiration for Wolf's songwriting than I had before, because he has proven himself capable of writing the sappiest lovesongs ever and making them interesting rather than just annoying. Even at his young age, he has grown into a performer unlike any other on the Earth, rivalled only by Björk in terms of wonderfully weird pop sensibility.
