Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing. Please keep having at it.
Review: We enjoy 'Fire' and 'Senor Smoke,' immensely, and were really looking forward to 'Switzerland.' Found the album a disappointment, for it hasn't the verve, vim nor vigour of its predecessors. Felt like we wasted our money buying it on faith; could almost hear E6 saying (à la Laurie Anderson): "Ha ha ha - you've already paid for this"). First learnt of E6 from seeing the "Gay Bar" video on Sundance Channel's regrettably short-lived Sonic Videos programme, and thought their humour and rockin' sound was freshly dynamic. Maybe we shall develop an appreciation for 'Switzerland' after later listens-to but haven't yet. Here's hoping that, despite this weak album, they press on and regain what was lost here. Solid new rock bands are far and few between these days, and we are hoping that E6 is still going to be one of them.
Is the review positive or negative?
