Title: not quite what I expected
Review: I'm a mogwai fan and was waiting for this album to really floor me... this album only put me to sleep. Their style has gotten a bit schizophrenic recently, the problem is that they jump from one style and one mood to the other too quickly and in an un-natural way. The second track also mimics Labradford too much. A lot of these songs aren't that memorable either, most of the melodies just aren't that strong, un-comparable to some of their older gems (Summer, 2 Rights, Helicon 1 etc). The songs just drag without ever really grabbing the listener. I'd take the recent albums by Labradford, Sigur Ros and gybe! over this any day of the week...
Is the review positive or negative?
