Negative Positive
Title: Average
Review: But not for me. Too generic, too noisy, too much not a step up from their previous album (which needed it). The production is brickwalled along with most late nineties albums, and none of the songwriting goes any way toward being as appreciable as the catchy hooks from their previous album. In fact, not one song on this album is memorable. Compare that with the 3:1 hit:miss ratio of You'd prefer an astronaut and you have a loser of an album.Add to that the fact that none of the member have gone any distance toward improving their playing (bar the drummer) - the guitars still sound sloppy, the singer still flat and monotonal. And that was fine with the simplistic melodies and hooks on Atronaut - but here in the midst of attempted complex rhythms and harmonies, it just doesn't quite get there. Good luck guys on your future.
