Negative Positive
Title: Fooled again
Review: Read the reviews. Buttons pressed - Replacements, Springsteen... Buy CD. Insert. First track... thirty seconds in and you get that sinking feeling. You know that this is probably as good as it will get and it is poor. Struggle through the rest of the album, hoping for some respite, but no, it maintains the same level of life-wasting mediocrity all the way through.I don't mind the "Oh poor us, look at all the drugs we've taken" lyrics, because there is a long line of honourable successes in that field, but I do mind having to listen to songs with little apparent melody or construction, only crude riffing, and with no sense of transcendence. Westerberg and Springsteen have that sparkle and this group does not.Life is short so do not waste your time here. Do not drag down your music collection by having this. Mine is going back.
