5.0 out of 5 stars Things Change, April 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Massed Albert Sounds (Audio CD)

I think that a band that has been around as long as Weston making independent music is allowed to expand and change. I think this is a great record regardless of comparing it to "Got beat up."

1.0 out of 5 stars Got Beat Up by Bad Massed Albert, January 8, 2002

I was listening to Got Beat Up that a friend gave me and was like, wow, these fellas are good. They have their thing going. So, I went out to buy some of their other stuff. Lucky me picked this album up and thought it should be good. I put it into the cd player and was so shocked. Only "Summers Over" reminded me of their older stuff. Probably because it was the only one not sung or written by Mr. Snyder. I mean, I know that artist like to "grow" with each album, but how do you go from punk-pop to beach boy wannabes? So, if you are thinking about buying this album because you liked other earlier Weston albums, you might be disappointed, like me.

A lot of people see this as too much of a departure for Weston. I like most of the stuff I've heard by this band, my favorite records being Got Beat Up and this one. What sticks out about their older records certainly isn't how hardcore and raw they were, it was their ability to deliver super catchy pop songs. In a way they let that ability come through even more on Massed Albert Sounds. If you found out about Weston because of Street Sk8er, the version of "Liz Phair" on this record is perfect. Weston really benefits from the super clean, heavy production. If you can accept that Weston was really just writing catchy pop-punk from the beginning there is no reason why Massed Albert Sounds will disappoint you.
