Negative Positive
Title: 5 Star Album You Don't See Coming
Review: On first exposure the songs seem like a heavy meal with their dense orchestrations, Burt Bacharach's signature stop and go rhythms and Elvis Costello's opaque, barroom syntax. The overall effect could be extremely pretentious. Over time, however, after repeating listening, the rush of the songs' emotional climaxes have great depth and an eerie simplicity about them.Burt Bacharach appeared to be attempting something truly original and different from his smash hits of the past. I, for one, believe that he succeeded.
Is the review positive or negative?
