This album is so boring that I've completely lost interest in the band. Brighten the Corners was weak, too. Neither album has the energy and wit of Wowee Zowee and the others before it. These slackers are really slacking it. For all the accolades bestowed on Malkmus, he doesn't hold a candle to Beck. Time to pack it in, dude, and buy that maraschino cherry farm.
