Title: Should never have been made, a huge disappointment
Review: Here's why: Musically, the originality is gone, and the sense of melody with it. Now they sound just like a bad trash metal band. This album lacks even a single interesting theme, but has plenty of repetitive ones with no direction. Where are the vocal harmonies, the twin guitar melodies and tricks, the eerie atmosphere, or the breaks and time signature changes ?I love the sound of a distorted guitar, but simply stepping on the ol' stompbox doesn't guarantee a great song! Also, the production is muddy, and the vocals are buried in the mix.I was expecting a lot more from the likes of Shermann/Diamond, given MF's early masterpieces, 'Melissa' and 'Don't break the Oath', two albums I'll bring with me to a lonely island, even without a means to play them. If you're new to MF, buy those instead. Skjerpings, Bendik & Co. !
