Free Music Notes for Because We Hate You/Let the War Against Music Begin
Free Music Review: The Best Munus 5 album
Hit: 5 Stars
The Minus 5 disc in this set is their best. Shame it's out of print. It's mostly 60s-ish power-pop. It sounds "at home" in a shuffle with the Zombies, Swag, the Kinks, Cheap Trick, Robyn Hitchcock, the Spongetones, if you were to want to do that. But I listen to it on its own--over and over. Great.
"Great News Around You" is poppy and Sardonic. "Got You" is a great twisted love song. "Ghost Tarts Of Stockholm" is more typical, rocking Minus 5. I could go through all the songs, but I don't feel like it. But they're all good.
The YFF disc is pretty similar in sound and quality to the Minus 5 disc. YFF partisans think their earlier stuff is better, but I don't know, since I don't know their early stuff.
BUY IT.
Because We Hate You/Let the War Against Music Begin Poster
Scott McCaughey's two bands here deliver a bargain package of a full-length CD each. Given their enjoyably shambling live shows, the Minus 5 are hardly the first outfit you'd expect to turn in an album as magnificently crafted as Let the War Against Music Begin. McCaughey and a cast including Peter Buck, Posies Ken Stringfellow and Jon Auer, and Robyn Hitchcock render perfectly wistful widescreen pop loaded with direct lyrics, loving vocal harmonies, vintage electronic-keyboard sounds, and a Spector-esque propulsion. A winner that recalls and betters McCaughey's beloved Beach Boys discs So Tough and Holland, its counterpart finds the Young Fresh Fellows returning to the studio for the first time in several years. Unsurprisingly more haphazard than the Minus 5 record, Because We Hate You nonetheless has its share of lyrical moments ("Worthless," "Summerland") mixed in with the gleeful dork-rock mini-epic "My Drum Set," an amped-up cover of Boyce & Hart's "I Wonder What She's Doing Tonite," and the speaks-for-itself "Mamie Dunn, Employee of the Month." --Rickey WrightAlternative Rock Music CDs
