Title: tuneless songs, trite lyrics
Review: Don McLean created one great album, American Pie. Evidently that was all he had in him, because he's never written another song I care to listen to. The songs on this "greatest hits" collection are dull, the singing bad even on the standards, and the lyrics trite: war is bad, greed is bad, love is good. There is even a kind of rap song in which McLean shows some awareness that, whatever he had, he's lost it.
Is the review positive or negative?
