Negative Positive
Title: Great album, but a step back for Mouse on Mars.
Review: "Idiology" is a fantastic album in itself, and it is refreshing. I can't think of another album that quite sounds like this. However, as a whole, it just doesn't come together like "Niun Nugging" or even "Autoditacker". It just doesn't sound as good. While this is their most musically 'mature' album, and certainly their most innovative, the emotion that carried "Niun Nugging", and the melodic sense of "Iaora Tahiti" and "Autoditacker" is not present here. If you're new to Mouse on Mars, try the others I mentioned first. If you're an old fan, expect an extension of "Niun Nugging", but without the conviction. This album feels rushed.
Is the review positive or negative?
