Title: Ma? What are they giving me???
Review: Back in days one heard hype of how Shellac were turning down the offers of superstardom and mega ka-jillions from all of the "major" labels, thumbing their noses at "the man". Instead, they chose to keep their day jobs and make the music that they wanted to at their own pace, rather than on some schedule.Well, after waiting for quite some time, the fans are given this. Needless to say, it's good thing they didn't quit their day jobs, as they have proven to be substantially more lucrative than any music that they are currently putting out as a band (if that's what you call The Genuine Article, or anything with Weston singing on it).It's almost as if Shellac is SOOoooo uber-cool, that they're thumbing their noses at their fans now, knowing that we'll still buy it. Perhaps, the only redeeming attribute of this album is the packaging/artwork.I'll give it two stars for the first two to three songs. Flush the rest down....tell the sewage treatment plant to BE PREPARED!!!
Is the review positive or negative?
