Mar 14, 2011Svenonius' cockeyed worldview is much easier to take, and his jokes that much funnier, when he's not lecturing audiences.
-
Mar 3, 2011The songs on Music Is Not For Everyone dance the incredibly thin line where they sound completely believable while the sarcasm still leaks through as subtly as a teenager's cologne.
-
Mar 3, 2011It's meta and enigmatic and inconclusive; it's also very droll.
-
Mar 3, 2011When the band's clattering, it's great fun ("Why Not"), but leave the tongue-in-cheek (or is it?) spoken-word title track at home and release the rock instead.
-
Mar 3, 2011Overall, it's a darker and more uneven album than the debut, but notwithstanding a few oddities (three reprises, and Arrington de Dionyso's Gregorian throat singing, namely), it's a respectable follow-up.
-
Under The RadarMar 9, 2011Chain & the Gang sounds something like a slightly saner Captain Beefheart, a less arty Bongwater, or a whiter James Brown. [Feb 201, p.73]
-
Mar 3, 2011Relying heavily on posturing and tired song structures, lacking the incisive commentary and pointed humor that it strives for, Music's Not For Everyone is a record that fails on many fronts.
