Review title: A modern masterpiece?
Product review: I bought this album after reading how great it was by the people who supposedly know about such things: music critics. Upon listening to it for the first time I was a little disappointed, but thought it might grow. It did grow as well, more and more irritating with each listen. Don't get me wrong, there's a few catchy songs here, the best of which is A Spoonful Weighs a Ton, but the plastic production, nerdish lyrics and annoying effects, particularly when the rhythmic intro to one track is sung by a band member, really grate. The whole thing sounds somewhat soulless and cosmetic, but perhaps that's the point. It's not particularly original either, as many critics would have you believe, but more a high-tech 70's prog album. If you want to see how this sort of thing can be done with feeling then buy the Pretty Things album Parachute instead, you won't be disappointed.
