Negative Positive
Title: Shangri-La Dee----------OUCH...........
Review: As a big fan of rock... I pulled this CD from a friend to see if it was worth it or not. Despite it does have the rock edge I do love, I feel the CD is very ecletic from the grinding guitars in "Dumb Love" to the passion in "Wonderful" to the gloom of "Long way Home". However, sometimes too much ecleticism can be a bad thing and it seems to plague this album. "Black Again" seems too prissy for Stone temple Pilots and "Too Cool Queenie" seems to follow a similar drifting path as well. A major disappointment to me was that some of the songs had excellent lyrics while the others just whined along and seemed thrown together just to fill the album. For a 5th album, it's a scandalously questionable start but I'm anxious to see where they go from here...hopefully, the next album gives a little more depth but it's a fearsome listen.
Is the review positive or negative?
