Negative Positive
Title: Frustratingly Disappointing
Review: This album has been referred to as the sunnier counterpart to Crow's moodier epynomous second album, but _C'mon C'mon_ falls so short that no comparision can even be made. Frankly, it would be difficult to call _C'mon C'mon_ an album at all; it is filled with episodic duets ( with Lenny Kravitz, Stevie Nicks, Don Henley, etc) that showcase more Crow's popularity among her peers than any of the musical gusto she projected on her previous albums. Indeed, Crow sounds like a guest musician on her own tribute album: her trademark irony has been replaced with inane and frustrating lyrics. Admittingly, Crow's albums have never been consummate masterpieces, this can be easily excused, but this album is beyond all condonation. I cannot warn more strongly against the purchase of this album.
Is the review positive or negative?
