Artiste: Mac DeMarco
Genre:
Familiarity: Zero
1. Salad days: Oh god right away I hate this! The twee Hawaiian style guitar, the voice I can't stand, the whole setup of the song makes me want to puke. Hope it gets better.
2. Blue boy: No, hate this too.
3. Brother: Ok, this one is a lot better. Kind of hear elements of early ELO here.
4. Let her go: This has a nice melody and a sort of fuller sound.
5. Goodbye weekend: This however I hate. That off-tune guitar sound sets my teeth on edge! Arrrghhh! Song's crap too.
6. Let my baby stay: This has a nice Supertramp acoustic feel to it, very laidback. Like this one.
7. Passing out pieces: This one's okay. Has a kind of new-wave feel to it in parts.
8. Treat her better: Yeah, this good too. Nice romping acoustic-y feel.
9. Chamber of reflection: And this one, oddly, reminds me of Chris Rea!
10. Go easy: This is nice, very relaxing and laidback.
11. Jonny's odysey: Don't think a lot of this though.
End result: Started out thinking I would hate it, sort of grew on me a little. Some very good tracks but there's something about his singing I don't like. A good album but I'd be unlikely to listen to others I feel.
So, Love or Hate? Thought it would be a Hate, but there are enough good tracks here to turn that around and make it a
Love instead.
