Negative Positive
Title: You must be joking
Review: "I am a bird now." Please, someone... this bird is injured. Not exotic. Put this band out its misery.The singer's voice is too affected/self-indulgent to be interesting. It is just annoying. Perhaps, not boring, just painful offkey melodrama. Off key is okay. Melodrama can be good. But, damn, the lyrics and music are awful and witless. The singer may want to be the Greta Garbo of the transgendered. But, he (at least as he postures on this album)... he isn't intriguing.He seems like a dope. You want to avoid him because you feel humilated for him. At first one may listen to and smile indulgently at him because one thinks he isn't a very bright seventh grader and you assume he is oblivious to a world outside of himself.I keep trying to listen to this album. If I change my mind and like Antony and the Johnsons, I will write another. (But... I think I would require extensive brain damage and near deafness. So far I haven't managed to listen to the entire thing at one time. )
Is the review positive or negative?
