Negative Positive
Title: Is this a Pixies album....or just a Pixies Rip-off?
Review: I've been a Weston fan for years (6 to be exact) and this album confirms what I thought 2 years ago - Weston peaked with 'Got Beat Up'. Anyone who truly loved the band previously known as Weston will understand in one listen why this album is more self absorbed than a Kevin Costner Movie. They have taken on the persona of a mellow-dramatic indi-rock band with so much to say (whah, whah, whah). The only decent song is track 6 sung by Dave. Unfortunately for the true fans, without Chuck at Bass there's no punk in Weston's rock. Unfortunately for Weston, they are not talented enough to make the punk-emo cross-over (unlike Blake of Jawbreaker-Jets to Brazil). So, if you want to listen to a pixiesish/alternopop/coolie band with nothing to say, the new Weston is for you.
Is the review positive or negative?
