OK Bear
Stealing his cover art idea straight from
Sebadoh's Bakesale, Mr.
Enigk skips making another album of nursery rhymes for the mentally
deranged and instead tows the adult contemporary line that also
bit Chris Cornell and countless
others. Granted, it's not an enormous departure from earlier
efforts (how can it be with that voice?), but there are just
too many tunes here that would feel at home on like a Sarah
McLachlan album or erstwhile Lilith
Fair compilation. And even several tunes that sound like
weird rehashes of vaguely grungy Smashing
Pumpkin melodies. That said, it's not bad, just extremely
unremarkable. |
