Hit: 3 Stars
The Minus 5's eponymous album is not quite up to the standards of their two best works, In Rock & Down With Wilco, but is still a strong collection of songs. Scott McCaughey puts the musical stylings all over the map from the Beatlesque sounds of "Out There On The Maroon", "My Life As A Creep" and "All Worn Out" to the Exile On Main Street sounding "Cigarettes Coffee and Booze" to the punkish "Aw Sh*t Man" to the plain weird sounding "Hotel Senator". The Decembrists' Colin Meloy sings lead on "Cemetery Row" and the boys from Wilco add depth to "With A Gun". The opening track "Rifle Called Goodbye" is the best song on the album followed closely by the twangy "Twilight Distillery".
The Minus 5 Poster
The Minus Five has always been witty popmeister Young Fresh Fellow Scott McCaughey's baby, first and foremost. And you could say that child reaches total excellent maturity on "The Gun Album," the band's seventh full-length, although it sounds silly to say it that way. McCaughey is of course a "fifth member" of R.E.M., a decent day job but one that's kept Minus Five albums in the "side project" realm for too long. But this is the album that stands on its own, the slightly twisted and wry lyrics perfectly accompanied by tasteful but not too tasteful chamber-rock throughout. And then there's the assembled cast. If you're going to do the guest artist thing you might as well do it right, and McCaughey assembles the indie-rock version of a Missy album here. Of course you're got longtime collaborator Peter Buck, but there're also all the dudes from Wilco on one song, with Colin Meloy, Sean Nelson, John Wesley Harding, and Kelly Hogan joining in on others. --Mike McGonigalPop Music CDs
