Negative Positive
Title: "Bland" would be a more accurate title
Review: Disclaimer: Big time fans of The Sundays should not read this review since they obviously will not like it. This review is for casual listeners to give them an unbiased account of the music on the album. Thank you.For the rest of us, The Sundays sophomore album is largely a snoozefest of interchangeable songs. If you've heard the band's one big original hit, "Here is Where the Story Ends" from their debut album, you know the drill; mid tempo accoustic rock augmented by Harriet Wheeler's little girl voice. The problem is that the band rarely comes up with a good hook to give its songs vitality. It is no accident that by far the best performance here is the rousing cover version of The Stones' "Wild Horses." The sharpness of Jagger-Richards's songwriting makes the rest of the material pale even more in comparison.Overall, a bland period piece with one cover track to at least partially redeem it.
Is the review positive or negative?
