I was just looking through my new version of Rolling Stone with the Jonas Brothers (eek!!) on the cover and they review Up From Below..Giving it a 3
out of 5 stars..The review is as follows:
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros are a 10-piece L.A. jug band who tour in an old Greyhound bus, pose for publicity photos on what looks like a
communal farm circa 1969 and sing jangling folk-rock songs with lyrics like "Hot and heavy/Pumpkin pie/Chocolate candy/Jesus Christ." The big, windy
music is skillfully written and arranged - songs like "40 Day Dream" and the eerie "Home" build to rousing singalongs - and frontman Alex Ebert has an
appealingly raggedy voice. But the group's attempts to evoke Age of Aquarius utopianism are suffocated by self-consciousness; the record feels like an
art-college thesis.

true true...
now that i think about it.
its pretty crazy that Eddie is releasing an album.
i remember he said he was releasing an album/EP when it was just him and his computer pretty much.
before their was a band.

I look at it this way.
Your in Rolling Stones.
Who cares what they say.
That's going to give you publicity either way.
They could say terrible stuff about you and people would read it and wonder who this god awful band is and look you up.

It could have been a lot worse..It's not like she bashed the album the whole review, eh? Just like the facts of life..You take the good..You take the
bad..You take them BOTH and there you have what I mentioned before..

3/5 stars isnt TERRIBLE per-se, but i second sarbear, theres no such thing as bad publicity. People can always decide for themselves too (or at least
the smarter ones will).
