Title: Haphazard lo-fi pop
Review: The Minus 5 is a side project of singer-songwriter Scott McCaughey of Young Fresh Fellows, aided by R.E.M.'s Peter Buck and the Posies' two key members. The four, plus a few friends, clearly had a blast compiling the record, trading off unfamiliar instruments and playfully adding a cavalcade of sounds to McCaughey's "Automatic for the People"-flavored acoustic tunes. The quirky, usually irrelevant, contributions become a problem as, in nearly every song, a wayward piano ("Vulture") or electric guitar ("Find a Finger") or bass ("Algerian Hook") loudly intrudes on the pretty strumming and melody. Each listener will have to decide for himself whether the interjections are delightfully inventive or fatally annoying. Either way, the songs aren't all that strong, and the musical-chairs musicianship means that no great performances shine through. Don't buy "Old Liquidator" expecting anything at the level of the Posies or R.E.M. But sometimes low-impact fun is just what the DJ ordered.
