Negative Positive
Title: Concrete hard
Review: I generally will not review a product on Amazon unless the previous review is thin.The city ain't Eden, so one shouldn't project that expectation on it or its inhabitants. Humans went urban for money, convenience, and (ironically) safety, not to hear smog covered birds sing while we milk metal cows; hope that fact's not too cynical. Another fact: the Velvets cynicism isn't a pose; it's as hard and real as New York pavement. And art as reaction - especially that which is a reaction to bubbleheaded West Coast flower power - can easily surpass its "target" as art.To quote the Bard of Duluth"The city's just a jungle full of games to play/Trapped in the heart of it, tryin' to get away./I was raised in the country, I've been working in the town/I've been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down."Or even Eddie Arnold: "Take Manhattan, give me that countryside."The city isn't for the meek. Neither are the Velvets.
Is the review positive or negative?
