Title: the longest, most pretentious sea chanty in the world
Review: I love the first Mum album. It is genius, there is no doubt about that. Their second album was good. Some highlights, some blooper reels. This album is really quite awful. It is ridiculously monotonous in mood and ambience, and it depenends heavily on some of the band's worst musical elements, such as the singing (which is absolutely unbearable after more than a few moments), and clumsy live instruments (which are uninteresting, and poorly composed). I saw them perform in Boston a few weeks ago and had endure twenty plus minutes of crap from this album before they played anything decent. What an utter disappointment. By far, the let-down of the year.
Is the review positive or negative?
