Title: nice job boys
Review: This album is reminiscent of Pavement but not so much as to be distracting...plus its far better than anything since Wowee Zowee, because it ain't tryin' too hard. It has a surface, simple country-jangle flair at first listening but its really quite dense with background noise and road angst. You never get the feeling that they're trying to be better than the genre they're either immitating (or whatever it is they're doing)...the irony is way way way in the back, where it belongs, and earnestness at the forefront. I bought the CD for the song Smith and Jones Forever (that song alone is worth the bucks) but there are other nice tunes to sing along and scratch your head to. Wow, this is a good album. I'm giving this 4 stars because 5 seems like it should be reserved for once in a great while kind of--like Exile on Main Street, or the Chronic.
Is the review positive or negative?
