'''''Trials & Errors''''' is a live album released by the [[Magnolia Electric Co.]] on [[Secretly Canadian]] in 2005, recorded on April 16, 2003 at Club [[Ancienne Belgique]] in [[Brussels]]. |
|||
It was the first Magnolia Electric Co. album released under that name, even though at the time of recording the band still toured under the Songs: Ohia moniker. The album received generally favorable reviews according to [[Metacritic]], with multiple reviewers noticing the [[homage]] to [[Neil Young]] and [[Crazy Horse (band)|Crazy Horse]], but offering mixed opinions on its success: "[It is] hard to avoid thinking of Neil Young and Crazy Horse at the peak of their '70s powers" ([[Mojo (magazine)|Mojo]], Feb 2005). "Magnolia Electric Co. is no Crazy Horse, and Molina's vocabulary on the guitar doesn't yet have the presence to carry such extended interpretations of his material." ([[Pitchfork Media|Pitchfork]], February 1, 2005). The album itself is made up of ten original songs, all but three of which were at the time unreleased, but contains three fragments of Neil Young songs, including the show-closing chorus of "[[Tonight's the Night (album)|Tonight's the Night]]" at the end of the song "The Big Beast". The fragments are technically uncredited, but the liner notes contain the information "Songs written by J.M. ([[Jason Molina]]) and there are ones that clearly have not[,] they're included here respectfully. Thank you." |
