Negative Positive
Title: Apples in Dookie
Review: Yikes, I liked the record before this one, Tone whatever. And the singles they put on the Spinart samplers were amazing. I used to think, these guys copped a lot from the Beatles but were actually pulling it off! An innovative sound that was both retro and modern.But this record blows. The cover looked StereoLab-esque so my hopes were high. However once I started to listen, I actually wondered if I had purchased a defective CD where a manufacturing error put some other band on it. The songs bite and the voices sound like an episode of the Simpsons where they let Bart sing!Unless you're a teeny bopper you won't appreciated their new harder "let's sound like the strokes/hives/stripes" attitude. It's not genuine enough in my opinion.
