Minus Five - Minus Five
Nicknamed "The Gun Album" because guns appear on the cover and in the lyrics of several songs. The clown prince of alt-rock Scott McCaughey continues his smartass assault on modern rock's pretensions to classicism. In ample supply are McAughey's jokey compositions, aided by the usual roster of distinguished alt-rock hoodlums, including Peter Buck, Jeff Tweedy, and Ken Stringfellow. Case in point, "Out There on the Maroon," which features the line "I had six white Russians tonight . . . and two of them were people," or "I never wanna let you go . . . and that's why I bought this rope" from "Bought a Rope."
However, as has been McCaughey's wont in the past he's not above getting serious, as in the masterful "Cemetery Row" sung by Colin Meloy.
