Title: A break from the norm.....
Review: About one third of this album is awful. What remains, however, is awfully good. You could call this an experimental work where some stuff came out well, some stuff badly. Overall though what you get from this album is a set of songs that differ from the usual mundane releases so popular with record companies. Efforts such as Corpses, My Star and What Happened to Ye are just fantastic. The overall sound is raw and underproduced- in contrast to a lot of music these days. And also in contrast to The Seahorses album released by the other half (John Squire)of the Stone Roses song writing duo. The debut album by The Seahorses, "Do it Yourself" is quite simply rubbish! Maybe there is something in what Ian Brown said, " the difference between me and John Squire is that I write songs for the people while he writes songs for himself"!! Nice to see that they still get along then!!
Is the review positive or negative?
