Three albums into Tegan & Sara's career, it's still somehow necessary to get a couple of facts about them out of the way before diving into their latest offering. They are, yes, identical twin lesbians, and they do occupy the space--more like a vacuum, really--between the riot-grrl menace of Sleater-Kinney and the un-fun folk of Indigo Girls. That out of the way, So Jealous is the duo's best disc yet, meriting more than the mainstream notice that has so far evaded it. All the components are in place: a beyond synthy, full-throttle band, including John Collins and David Carswell of New Pornographers, and songwriting so honest as to make a person--any person--check to make sure no one has been snooping in her diary ("I won't mistake you for problems with me/I won't let my moods ruin this you'll see," from "I Won't Be Left"). The vibe is early-80s pop-punky (Tegan & Sara's singing can sound like Missing Persons' minus the squeals) spiked with a rock'n'roll edge--if the title track were noisier, it might sound at home on a Yeah Yeah Yeahs disc. Destined for hugeness, if only in indie circles for now, Tegan & Sara provide something crucial for pop princesses to be So Jealous of, and that's genuine talent. --Tammy La Gorce
Album Description
SO JEALOUS is the follow up to Tegan and Sara's critically acclaimed 2002 release IF IT WAS YOU. The band toured with Ryan Adams, Ben Folds, and Hot Hot Heat, were featured on MTV's YOU HEAR IT FIRST and hosted 120 Minutes and generated a huge press buzz. SO JEALOUS is the next musical evolution for Tegan and Sara and finds them delving into new musical territory. Tracks such as "Walking With A Ghost," "I Bet It Stung," "We Didn't Do It," and "Speak Slow" find the girls hitting a new level of maturity in their songwriting. A special enhanced portion features a behind-the-scenes documentary.

 An excellent album August 27, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is probably my favorite CD by Tegan & Sara -- possibly because it was the first one I listened to, but also because it is a very strong album from start to finish.
The songs that first come to mind as really great are probably "Walking With A Ghost," "So Jealous," and "You Wouldn't Like Me," but the whole album is full of top-notch songwriting and vocals. It comes across as more polished than their earlier albums, but they haven't sacrificed their classic Tegan & Sara sound.
The songs also seem to fit together as a whole more nicely than on their earlier albums, which felt to me more just like collections of songs. (Though of course I love those CDs as well.)
If you're buying a Tegan & Sara CD for the first time, this is a good one to get, because it's very easy to fall in love with it immediately.
A must have! July 23, 2008
This cd is part of my favorite cd's collection a must have for any tegan and sara fans.

One Of My Favorites-- Bravo Tegan and Sara! January 13, 2008

While I am a fairly new fan of T&S, having discovered this CD in 2007, it has already become one of my favorite albums. The 14 tracks here are simply perfect heartbreak pop. All the songs WILL be stuck in your head at sometime or another. Good hooks, bright guitar and the ever emotive voices of Tegan and Sara Quin make for one essential album. On tracks like the brilliant "I Won't Be Left" the sisters voices are layered perfectly in the choruses and the result is pure magic. The Quin sisters are so good at what they do that even songs that are slower and built around minor chord progressions will have you nodding your head, or tapping your foot. The disk is produced by Howard Redekopp and David Carswell(the New Pornographers) so you know there is plenty of gloss and polish on this refined piece of ear candy.
Simply put, this is one of those records that comes around once or twice a year, if you're lucky, and stays in your CD player seemingly forever. This is the best pop music, pop with staying power, that you will keep coming back to over and over again. A must buy.
The maturation of Tegan and Sara January 2, 2008
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
This album grew on me, as it got more "air time" on my iPod. At first I was disappointed that this album was so much shorter than "So Jealous", but after digesting the lyrics with several listens, I understand that this album is like well crafted poetry that needs to be explicated, as opposed to a cheap dime store novel that relies on exposition. The sound on this album is much more polished and less raw, which may detract a bit from their earlier work, but I think I like the direction T&S are heading in with their music, since it reflects their maturation as both songwriters and performers.
