Consider the Meat Puppets' Sewn Together its "Young Frankenstein."

Q MagazineThey have shed their gormless, drifting amateurism and turned themselves into a classic American pop band. [Aug 2009, p.109]
-
The appropriately named Sewn Together finds 50-year-old Curt Kirkwood and his 48-year-old brother Cris Kirkwood crafting mongrel music as fine as anything in the band's catalog.
-
While it’s not the glorious shambles we were hoping for, there’s a feeling that no matter what rehabilitation they go through, thankfully they’ll never lose those magic battle scars.
-
Meat Puppets 2.0 is a more polished, less accidental venture than the original, which isn't necessarily a drawback.
-
So Sewn Together is gently rustic, occasionally (a bit) heavier than you might expect, and ready for any adult-leaning-but-alternative-friendly playlist. It's also pretty bland, and at worst banally melodramatic in ways that suggest the unfortunate arrival of the Meat Puppets power ballad.
-
Although the band remains on an independent label--oddly enough, Megaforce, which wouldn’t have touched anything this psychedelic and mellow back in its own heyday--they’ve chosen to continue on in a similar ‘90s-nostalgic vein.
