Negative Positive
Title: Nextimeland
Review: This record is a good record. It has jangles and melodies and holds together well. Robyn puts some holds on his lyrical obscurities to make it a little more graspable(sic) to the common head. This does not feel like a Soft Boys adventure however and that is because the SB were about MANIC crazed guitars and bad trips.This is a Robyn Hitchcock record played by the SB guys.It seems somehow wrong to call this SB cause that changes what the SB represent.Nice solo Hitch record tho.Recommended.Just don't expect anywhere near the energy that we had with the Softies. These guys are in thier 50's so it cannot be expected that they would play with such fever as they did.It's like a reunion that sounds like Hitchcock more than SB.
Is the review positive or negative?
