Title: A sign of things to come
Review: What do you get when one of pop musics greatest minds decides that he wants to show off his songwriting chops and brilliant pop sensilities? Summerteeth is like a Beatles album getting lost in time and emerging at the close of the century. True, no new ground is broken here, but any pop record this brilliant has to be commended. The contrast between the bright melodies and dark lyrics about abuse are what really sets this album apart. The production does exactly what it needs to, its extensive enough to be called pop but not overdone to the point that it takes away from the content. I know some people to miss the sound of Uncle Tupelo, AM and Being there, but after listening to this I'm starting to think that theyre all insane.
Is the review positive or negative?
