Negative Positive
Title: It's on my "10 best" list.
Review: I met a girl once (at a Big Star concert, actually) who made a point of telling me that Big Star had come along for her at "just the right time". Rather than sounding like the typical Rock n' Roll Salvation myth, it invoked memories of the spooky house I'd been staying in when I first heard "Sister Lovers". I was watching the remote cabin for a family on vacation and had recently seen too many Alfred Hitchcock videos. A mood of inner decay, a cold stillness and the fear of malevolent ghosts creeping around inside the house was enhanced by the record. It offered a strange solace, like hearing the moans of another survivor under the rubble of a bombed building. I wondered if she was somewhere close to there when Big Star came through for her.
Is the review positive or negative?
