Negative Positive
Title: Here's to old age
Review: It's not that this is a terrible album in concept (or in title, Here's to Shutting Up is definitely a favorite for me, if only Fred Durst would make an album like that) but the album lacks any of the elements that Superchunk is known. This is not to say that they shouldn't explore new avenues, but this album demonstrates more of a lack of enthusiasm than a need for growth. It starts out ok and credit should be given that the opening track states the new mission state ment with folkier guitars and poppy back ground vocals, but the back is missing something. Even when they return to puchy guitar style of old they lack something vital. I suppose that if I can't put my finger on exactly what's missing, than it would be unfair for me to expect Superchunk to, but I still found myself growing increasingly bored as the album played itself out.
Is the review positive or negative?
