Negative Positive
Title: Few hits, mostly misses with simple alt folk
Review: 1 1/2With the majority of songs being written in very simplistic 2 or 3 chord change settings, any artist needs to be on the side of subtlety, crafting movements out of minimalism..Deadboy and Elephantmen use this formula to partial success..The singer is obviously very talanted in his delivery and conviction, and the space used in between the sparse arrangements is usually worthy of the White stripes/Black Keys comparisons..But alas, the album cannot hold up, with material eventually giving in to it's overall laziness.
Is the review positive or negative?
