I was super-psyched to hear this album. I'm
not even sure why, considering my knowledge of Mission of Burma
is limited to the fact that I know Burma may or may not be some
country on the coast in Asia. The first listen sounded like
Guided By Voices lead by
a weak singer. I can honestly say that I don't like the guys'
voice very much. It's very, um, la-di-da, if you know what I'm
sayin'. There are some interesting melodies in play here, but
I just can't get into it enough to claim it as a classic. It's
just missing that umph that makes a great album great. |
