Title: Overrated
Review: I felt compelled to write a review based on what I was reading about the new MM record. The band is great, Lonesome Crowded West was fantastic, live shows are definitely worth seeing..but M&A is a lackluster effort. After a solid first track, the album loses focus and wanders around before rediscovering some of the lost energy with 'Paper Walls', and then petering out with a mediocre ending. Is that worth 4 stars? I haven't seen grade inflation like this since college. If every album gets 4 and 1/2 stars on average, what is the point of a review? I thought we were supposed to be more objective than the critics who run the risk of getting canned for an offensive review. Comparisons to the utterly overrated OK Computer exacerbate the problem. If MM want to sound like Radiohead, I'd rather not be around to see the transformation. Buy The Lonesome Crowded West or This is a Long Drive...., but please don't make Moon and Antartica your first MM purchase.
