5.0 out of 5 stars
Breathtaking and Beautiful,

This review is from: Hopeful Monsters (Audio CD)
This is a powerful album. The songs are clever and interesting in their expressive use of metaphor, and the lyrics are beautiful in their complexity. This is not a CD for everyone, true. But if you're looking for something a bit different, with a heartfelt truth to it, this is a good place to start.

Disappointing,

This review is from: Hopeful Monsters (Audio CD)
I was quite a fan of Paul Melancon's solo work - but this album seems rushed and incomplete. The combination of his typical dirge-like sorrowful tomes with the jangly pop mess of this new combo just doesn't work. It sounds like any other mediocre indi-college rock. What a shame.

This review is from: Hopeful Monsters (Audio CD)
If pretension, tedium, and self-indulgence are your thing, then this is the album and Melancon is the 'artist' for you. This is, put simply, one of the worst albums I have ever heard. If you want to hear popular emo music listen to Dashboard Confessional, Thursday, Taking Back Sunday, or even Saves The Day. This premeditated depression sound is plain irritating. The songwriter seems to be trying to turn his mediocre mid-life crisis into catchy teen angst. Mostly, it just sounds like an old man in a coffee shop strumming his guitar and whining. Is this supposed to be clever?
