Negative Positive
Title: Soundtrack for a Renaissance Fair in hell...
Review: Midlake's "Van Occupanther" is simply awful. The best songs on this album sound like the worst of the Fleetwood Mac catalog after ingesting poisonous mushrooms:"While we were out hunting for foodour house was being robbedI caught an apple and she caught a foxso I caught a rabbit but she caught an oxso upon our return, we found everything gonewhich for us was no lossand we started overwith a rabbit and an ox"Lyrics like these are written for drunken minstrels in a reproduction of Mel Brooks' "Robin Hood: Prince of Tights".The best thing this album has to offer is its album cover. Seriously, this may be the most hideous album cover that I have ever seen---its unbearable ugliness is its greatest beauty and only redeemable quality.
Is the review positive or negative?
