Popular Reviews

The Great Outdoors Jam by Pigeons Playing Ping Pong

Jam bands seem very masturbatory. The people involved seem to be very talented, but I don't think anyone needed an extended vamp on the Ghostbusters theme song, among other things.

All Hail West Texas by The Mountain Goats

One of the roughest albums I've ever heard. Cursory research has revealed that the album was recorded directly into a cassette boom box, and I can't fathom why. The songs seem to do a lot of meandering in the lyrics. Mildly curious to listen to one of the albums with a full band instead of one man and a boom box.

Ruin by The Amazing Devil

This seems overproduced to me. It feels like they're trying to capture both the idea of a grandiose huge band with full string accompaniment, and a small indie duo with the small flubs and conversations left in. It makes for a rather disjointed experience.

Very strange album. I think I would've liked it more if the vocals weren't constantly drowned out by all of the instruments.
