Title: What happened to Weston?
Review: Where did Weston go? I think they've "grown up" and are "taking themselves seriously" and have made a terrible album in a desperate attempt at joining that long gray line of awful contemporary "alternative" music. Enough with the quotation marks already! I found this album in a bargain bin for fifty cents and I was really excited about it. I'm a huge fan of Got Beat Up and Matinee, but had never even heard of this album. After a few listens through, I think fifty cents was too much to pay for this pile of steaming excrement. You can argue that Weston is just trying something new and that Dylan tried something new when he switched to the electric guitar and look what that did for him, etc. I'm not against a band's personal growth. I think any band that has any kind of staying power has to experiment with their sound; however, this album is just awful. Even if it wasn't Weston, it would still suck. If you're into Got Beat Up or Matinee, PLEASE save your fifty cents.
