Negative Positive
Title: Can you say "H-U-B-R-I-S"?
Review: Why was this recorded and released (while many much worthier pieces are not)? Presumably because Paul McCartney's name is on it. Why was it (heavily) publicized? Presumably because Paul McCartney's name is on it. Why is it getting (some) favorable reviews? Presumably because Paul McCartney's name is on it. What did I expect? Well, I hoped at least for a catchy tune or two. No such luck. Nothing here I'd call a melody or tune, catchy or not.(This is a piece with a program, by the way--a program based on an ostensible epic poem in free verse. In other words, it does not rhyme and is not metered, but it omits articles, prepositions, and verbs to show it is nevertheless "poetry". It can be summarized thus: Giant fiery asteroid collides with earth. Life evolves. Boy meets girl. Boy marries girl. Dan Quayle approves.)
Is the review positive or negative?
