Negative Positive
Title: I do not look forward to this album
Review: I don't know why Superchunk has decided that its songs need to be slathered with keyboards. And Mac has decided that he likes crooning when his excited yelp is a whole lot more fun. This album just doesn't have a lot of energy, and that's something Superchunk used to have in spades."Rainy Streets" and "Out On The Wing" rock out nicely. And "Late-Century Dream" is an interestingly low-key experiment that actually works. The pedal steel on "Phone Sex" is a nifty touch, but the song winds up being a near-miss.
Is the review positive or negative?
