Negative Positive
Title: Not Even Close
Review: Okay, they're cheesy, over the top, Spinal Tappy and all around silly. But they have some good songs and can play it an inimitable sloppy, fast, over the edge sort of way. The lyrics are worthy of Ed Wood but ya know, there's something appealing about them. There's an honesty. And when they're on, they rock pretty damn hard. The problem with MOW is that they have no definitive album. There's a few songs on this album and some good moments on that album but it never all came together for them. I think that's what they were trying to do here. What a disaster. Again, some good moments, but not nearly enough to sustain interest. Every other song is bogged down with some lame pitch deepend narration. The "orchestration" is really just samples. My guess is that even the choirs are sampled this time out. MOW fell in love with technology and lost their way. They still remain pompous and silly however.
Is the review positive or negative?
