3.0 out of 5 stars It's the Music that Matters, August 20, 2000

Concept albums can get really bogged down by over-reaching narratives. And if you try to follow the cartoon storyline for the new MotH CD, you'll probably get stuck or lost, even with a 2-page libretto, a 24-page B&W comic book and expressive song titles. Suffice it to say, the real focus is the music, which has an endearing 60s vibe rich with harmony singing and low-fi arrangements. The songs are infectious and catchy, and spin smoothly alongside anything by the Vaselines, the Pastels and most of the Elephant 6 brood. A bit strange, but a nice break from the mainstream.

This review is from: I Am Not a Freemdoom (Audio CD)

this cd is absolutly awesome, and i agree with all the positive reviews for the most part. but a friend and I both ordered this album from {this website} and niether of us got the 24-page comic booklet that comes with the cd, im working with amazon to return it and see it was just a one time thing (err.. i mean two time thing), but i would suggest not expecting the comic-booklet with it. but the cd is awesome that it shouldnt even matter!

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterful album about an evil dog, September 14, 2001

This review is from: I Am Not a Freemdoom (Audio CD)

I first bumped into Masters of the Hemisphere with Pitchfork when I reviewed their self-titled debut - - the finest Athens jangle pop since early REM. I am not a Freemdoom is their sophomore effort. I wanted to be disappointed by this concept album about a cartoon dog named Freemdoom who pollutes the reservoirs of Krone Ishta, I really did. But the songwriting and storytelling are too compelling. With an impressive array of instrumentation, Masters of the Hemisphere etch a jubilant, coherent and catchy pop record - one that I couldn't get out of my car all summer long. Apples In Stereo aim for this kind of psychedelic 60's pop sound, but come off sounding stilted and emotionally under-invested. In stark contrast to the Elephant 6 collective, so much care went into making this record, with shocking sincerity and lack of artifice, that you can't help but embrace the tale of Freemdoom the evil dog.
