Negative Positive
Title: now serving thrift store discount bin #72
Review: For once, we have truth in advertising. For that alone, if I didn't impose a rigid 1- or 5-star rating system on culture, since life is black or white and never gray, I would have given this album a 2. It truly is garbage, not food-scrap rubbish -- we would have to be reviewing something more patently offensive like Wolfmother, Fergie or Smashing Pumpkins 2.0 to reach that rancid level -- but the old stuff you throw out because it's inferior to the new stuff you can finally afford to replace it. This truly is a dime-store supergroup whipped up by corporate executives high on superglue. I hear Shirley Manson performed a pretty good trick involving golf balls before thrift-store king Herb Alpert tossed a bag of money at her hairy feet. If you're into phone-sex crooning over a neverending sonic slab of bubble-gum yummy feedback fuzz, this crud's for you.
