Title: The Trouble With Producing Yourself
Review: Macy's first disk was a fresh, funky mess. The second was a funky mess. This one drops the adjectives altogether. The melodies feel second-hand, and the only interesting musical moment comes when she snitches a rhythm track from Kraftwerk (those funky homosapiens!). She also snitches a song title from the Beatles and constructs some sort of ambivalent reaction to the war around it that ends up being as muddled as everything here. The much-discussed "Childhood Memories" is nothing more than a novelty song; and the novelty that is Macy's croak really wears thin on this, to the point where the shrill "Sreamin'" is unlistenable. She looks fabulous in the cover photos, though.
Is the review positive or negative?
