Reader Reviews
I now own the "edited" copy of this album, and am in a better position to write about the so-called "censorship" issue. The Monstertrucker song I refer to in my previous review is, in fact, the only edited track on the CD, with unedited uses of the s-word sprinkled throughout the rest of the disk. So not much was done to it, apart from cleaning it up for post-10PM radio. As for the music itself, I raise my review by a star. There's a nice diversity of sound, including a number of electronically spiked tunes ala "Cancer for the Cure" or "Last Stop This Town" from Electroshock Blues (including "Flyswatter", and my personal favorite on the disc, "Sound of Fear"), and some more introspective acoustic stuff ("Something Is Sacred"). There's some nice grooves here too, such as the snappy 3/4-time "Daisy Through Concrete." I do have some criticisms. A few of the songs do sound remarkably similar, notably the first two tracks. I found myself getting the chorus of "Packing Blankets" stuck in my head all too easily. And "Tiger in my Tank" sounds a bit too much like Jimmy Buffet for it's own good. Ultimately, it's a solid album and worth the buy, especially if you're a fan of the band's past work. The edited content is almost worth the price itself, with a clever job done by E and company of integrating the edit into the music (see my previous review).
