Did we talk about how this is one of the worst named bands in the history of rock? We should have. I believe the band even hated the name.
If you go back and read the review of Cypress you could just plug in this title and the review would be the same, for the most part.
As a songwriter Mitch Easter is a terrific producer. For REM. And Cowboy and Spin Girl. But he can’t find the songs himself. It’s a shame. You can hear all the potential (see: “Talking to Myself” “Last Chance Town” “Still Talking to Myself) and it never gets there.
The best track here is the instrumental “Route 67” and that speaks volumes.
