Title: Not the Apples I know
Review: After the Apples produced some of the best pop albums ever made (and they will long be my favorites) I feel that this album is a cop-out. It's getting some glowing reviews here, but after they produced a sugar-sweet single for 'The PowerPuff Girls' album, I feel they are reacting with this album with feedback and fuzz, as if to say "Hey guys, you know we're still indie and raw." Well we know you are, you don't have to slap us in the face with it. Every song sounds the same. Static. Fuzz. Feedback. Headaches. Where are the delicious pop melodies? Where are the contemplative lyrics that you can sing over and over? Where's the subtle nod to the 50's and 60's? Apples, you now sound like every snot-nose teenage garage band, and nothing stands out. I've heard this sound millions of times. Nothing special about this album. Please let this be a one-off.
Is the review positive or negative?
