Negative Positive
Title: Pretenders to the throne
Review: Unfortunately, Yonder Mountain String Band has turned their back on their bluegrass roots and have wandered off into never-never-noodleland on this latest offering. Subpar vocal harmonies, pretentious lyrics and standard-issue level chops compared to others in the bluegrass genre leave not much nice to say about this disc. Kind of following the same path as String Cheese Incident, one supposes: release fine early bluegrass-tinged discs, change band sound, lose core audience.... eventually break up. I think we're up to the "lose core audience" point with Yonder Mountain on this CD.
Is the review positive or negative?
