Title: I really really wanted to like this one, but.....
Product review: Now here's a welcome surprise at the CD store, a new Trashcan Sinatras CD, after all these years. I thought they had split up, but here they are again, so this is a no-brainer, I know I'm going to like this one....but playing it now as I write this, I find it quite a letdown. It took 8 years to produce this? The same band that gave us the glories of "Cake" from out of the blue, with the witty lyrics and chiming choruses, the album I played over and over for weeks after I bought it?The problem is, none of the songs stand out at all, just one fey and low key song after the other. I wish I could say a song or two did stand out, but it just washed over me, like elevator music. These guys have plenty of talent, so what happened? None of the songs seem to get started, rather like a continual intro that has been stretched into a 3 minute song. Even after a couple of listens, it doesn't really come together. And that's a terrible waste.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
