Negative Positive
Title: It's well done, but don't buy it.
Review: Sound contradictory? Understandable. Let me explain.This cd has really good, skillful songwriting, obviously done by a very talented guy. The problem for me is the content.This cd is unrelentingly depressing. When the very first song is trying to convince you to kill yourself, you suspect you might be in for a long downer, and you're right. While I don't expect everything I listen to to be happy, I would at least like a little hope once in awhile. Mr. Judge can't say anything positive unless it is said sarcastically. It's a shame because he's such a clever, witty guy, but come one! -- get some prozac or something.I do have a theory that perhaps the intent here is to be so over-the-top depressing that he is parodying gloomy artists; that this is really black humor, poking fun at doom-sayers. Maybe we are supposed to laugh about this, in a dark sort of way. But even if that is that case, I can't bring myself to keep listening to this much negativity. It wears on you.
Is the review positive or negative?
