Biography

Uncle Bonsai formed in 1981, after three recent graduates of Bennington College in Vermont migrated to Seattle and found each other in the want ads. Though strangers on the college campus of 600 students, the three quickly congealed as a single entity after answering the ad one of them placed for a folk group . . . to sing sea shanties.

Instead, Andrew, the group’s guitarist and primary songwriter,… Read more in Amazon's Uncle Bonsai Store

4.0 out of 5 stars A mixed bag, but mostly good, November 20, 2001
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Apology (Audio CD)
"Apology" is an interesting album, in that it contains several excellent songs that have already been released on other albums, along with a very mixed crop of songs that haven't been released previously. Of the new songs, my favorites are "I Awoke in Iowa", the "Iowa Apology" song (an "apology" for "I Awoke in Iowa"), and "Apology" (which is an apology for the "Iowa Apology" song and just about every other song Ratshin ever wrote).

My main criticism of this album is that the new material is too heavily weighted toward the humor, without the depth of emotion I usually look for in Uncle Bonsai material. Most of the emotion comes from tracks repeated from "Doug" or other sources.

Also, many of the songs are musically weaker than usual. Even though I know the endless repitition in "I Love You I Love You I Love You I'm trying to Read" is intended to be part of the joke, it just gets annoying after a while.

All that said, this album is too good to rate only 3 stars, though it probably doesn't quite deserve 4 stars, either. Call it 3.5 stars.
