Editorial Review
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

5 Best impulse buy I've done!!
This CD is great!! All it takes is one listen. The whole record is awesome, but "Walking with the Ghost", "I Know, I know, I know", and he title track are definitely the highlights. Give Tegan and Sara a chance...You'll like them.

5 Stuck In My Head
Since buying "So Jealous" two months ago I haven't gone more than two days without listening to it. It is the only music I have in my car(besides the radio). I play it every time I go anywhere. I crank the volume to let everyone hear it!!! Needless to say, the songs are stuck in my head. Eight hours at work goes a lot smoother with Tegan and Sara in my brain singing "Take Me Anywhere", "I Know I Know I Know", and "Where Does The Good Go". The energy I get from "Speak Slow" is better than caffeine anyday. Tegan and Sara are amazingly talented and I hope there are many more albums to come.

5 Such a good album!!
I had heard their "I was walking with a ghost" song and had to give their cd a spin...it's definetly a great album, it's catchy, the songs don't all sound the same, and the album doesn't get old. I can listen to this cd over and over (that's what I mean by not getting old) and it's just a very enjoyable album. I suggest giving them a spin if you already haven't.
