Negative Positive
Title: You could call it a concept album....
Review: the concept being a band working as a democracy - which appears to be true - everybody gets their songs on this album and they're all given proper respect and placement. But what the album seems to lack is collective harmony - or a momentum that keeps your attention from song to song. Some of songs that were meant to be simplified by minimalist arrangements are left too bare to hide the weak vocal performances. And some of the lyrics.. (there are some that WILL make you cringe).. leave you wondering if democracy for the String Cheese Incident means saying "good enough."
Is the review positive or negative?
