Negative Positive
Title: Far from great...
Review: I must have heard this album about a dozen or so times by now. One thing's for sure - I'm not in a hurry to hear it again). A shame as I really liked both Parachutes and A Rush Of Blood...Aside from the fifth-form poetry my biggest complaint is that the album's been produced to within an inch of its life. And, while it unquestionably sounds fabulous, the end result is an album bereft of any performance, complexity or depth.Great albums have an ability to surprise you despite the fact that you may have heard them hundreds of times before. There are no surprises here, everything happens just as it should and therein lies the problem.
Is the review positive or negative?
