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.

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

Their best CD to Date
Customer Rating: 4 out of 5 
I've heard 3 of their CDs and like this one the best by far. Most constant good sounds. A couple annoying songs. 20% bad, 50% good, 30% excellent regarding the full track list.

Excellant CD
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
I bought this CD after hearing the group on Grey's Anatomy and could not get enough of it.

So Jealous - so good
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
I'm a new T & S fan after hearing "So Jealous" and "Love Type Thing" on the L Word. It took me a minute to get used to their unique voices but now I'm loving this album. It's mellow but not boring and all of the songs flow. Great music and lyrics too.

Amazing CD...AMAZING!
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
Honestly you will be singing almost every song on this CD driving to work, taking a shower, or cooking a meal. This CD is a great CD, every track is not only listenable, but very enjoyable. The title track "so jealous" might take an extra one or two listens to enjoy, but every other song is a flawless transfer into the other. You listen to the whole CD, and when its over, you just hit play again. Pop the CD in your computer, and watch a video of tegan and sara in the studio making the the CD. Sit back, relax, and listen to two canadian twin sisters making amazing catchy songs. Noted Tracks "Wake Up Exhausted" "Take me Anywhere" "I know I know I know" "I Bet it Stung" "Downtown" "Speak Slow" "Walking With the Ghost"

Not Great but So Good
Customer Rating: 4 out of 5 
I love these girls and apparantly I'm not the only one as their songs keep popping up on TV shows and commercials. That's not to say that Tegan & Sara are selling out, I just think today's television producers are a tad more hipper than they used to be. So Jealous actually came out a few years ago but it's taken me this long to decide I had to have it. The album isn't as consistently enjoyable as If It Was You, their last effort but where So Jealous is good, it's very good. The opening "You Wouldn't Like Me" with its chugging guitar and the self loathing lyrics are typical T&S. So Jealous takes all of the greatness that is the sisters and keeps the momentum going. The ambiguous misery of the lyrics is so catchy and enjoyable you can't help but sing and strut along. "Take Me Anywhere" , "Where Does The Good Go" and the single "Walking With A Ghost" are just as good as anything on If It Was You. The grinding guitars, hip drum beats and the awesome harmonies and vocals are a nice distraction from anyone's own problems. Let's hope Tegan & Sara get back to the studio very soon. And if you haven't yet discovered these girls get yourself a copy now!
