That was a great year for dudes like Paul Westerberg, Freedy Johnston, Joe Henry, and Pat DiNizio. Those guys put out albums a little too meaty for roots rock, but also too laid-back to be post-punk. They sang about lost girls, young girls, the complaints of almost 40-year-old men, and also other girls. Duchovny was their contemporary, and 1997 was also a great year for <i>The X-Files<\/i>, so maybe he had a lot of time on-set to dig deep into their CDs.<\/p>\n<p>I really tried not to think about who the artist was as I listened to <i>Every Third Thought<\/i> (King Baby\/GMG) from start to finish. At the outset, it wasn&#8217;t too difficult. The first three tracks\u2014&#8221;Half Life,&#8221; &#8220;Every Third Thought,&#8221; and &#8220;Maybe I Can&#8217;t&#8221;\u2014are solid. The riffs are sprightly, his singing is tuneful but edgy, and Duchovny really does have an ear for how words should sit on a melody. The lyrics are full of invention, and it&#8217;s a strong start. &#8220;Half Life&#8221; would definitely have made it to a couple of mixtapes I made for girls in college.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sad to report, though, that the middle of the album doesn&#8217;t live up to that first impression. Neither Duchovny&#8217;s nor his band&#8217;s playing is as inventive, and there are a handful of awkward moments when he jams a few too many syllables into a single line. There are parts of &#8220;Mo Revised&#8221; and &#8220;Spiral&#8221; that twist when I thought they would turn and I was really intrigued, but most of the middle third is pretty bland.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a bit of improvement near the end with &#8220;Jericho&#8221; and &#8220;Marble Sun,&#8221; and the album ends, as all \u201990s albums do, with the most downbeat track. It&#8217;s a unique accomplishment, actually, that Duchovny sounds so hang-dog on this last track; I almost forgot that he&#8217;s rich and famous, and I felt sorry for disliking so much of his record. Alas, the best of these songs are simple fun, long on narrative and clever puns. But taken as a whole, the album not is quite ready for primetime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like a man out of time, David Duchovny has released an album of mid-tempo, masculine rockers, perfectly in-step with the zeitgeist of of 1997.
