Negative Positive
Title: One fabulous hit, one nice song, rest, uninspired.
Review: 'Mr. Duality' is as great a song as the BOBS ever did. Funny, clever, musically satisfying. Right up there with the 8 to 10 wonderful, memorable, passing-the-test-of-time hits they have on their first four albums (s/t, My I'm Large, Songs for Tomorrow, Sing the Songs of). This is their fifth album from 1993.'Naming the Band' is like a notch below. Nice, fun, but not a bang up buster like they are capable of. Sweet.The rest of the songs just don't hit the mark. I can hear them using similar methods, working on vocal harmony, clever lyrics, fun stories of uncommon subjects but they don't come together even close to the greatness they accomplished on those other four albums, aside from the spectacular 'Mr. Duality'. God bless 'em. chrisbct@hotmail.com
