Negative Positive
Title: Nope
Review: Nope...sorry. I'm a huge Beat Happening fan...loved Calvin Johnson for years...so I feel I know a thing or two about enjoying music that, technically, is not that good. Just...nope...Y'know how Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics for Elton John songs? Perhaps Johnston could go that route. Other people singing his words...that seems ok. Not sure why he receives the accolades he does. A converse shoe deal was in the works for some time...a biopic...a rock opera of his songs. I'm sorry, it all seems done out of pity. If you're interested in indie/lo-fi music please check out anything from Calvin Johnson (Beat Happening, The Halo Benders, The Hive Dwellers, or his solo work). People only listen to Daniel Johnston because they heard all the cool/trendy kids do.
Is the review positive or negative?
