Negative Positive
Title: not as good as previous albums, but good nonetheless
Review: when i first got this cd i was extremely dissapointed, and i think a lot of other people will be too if they expect to hear the same sound they heard on previous le tigre records like i did. the music doesn't have the same lo-fi, diy sound that the other records did, and kathleen doesn't seem to be screaming with as much fury and rage as she did on other albums. but, after several repeated listenings (and seeing them live, which was great), the album actually kind of grew on me. i still don't like all of the songs (some of them are just boring to me, yes, boring) but if you're willing to accept a change in the overall sound of le tigre, then i think you might be able to actually come to like "this island" for the most part.
Is the review positive or negative?
