Suddenly I am thrown back 15 years and listening to a Dead Milkmen record. Not a good one at that. For those not in the know, the Milkmen were this low-fi punk rock band from the eighties that had a large cult following and none of the songs to back it up. Mother Goose have the same problem. It is all good to have a defined sound, but songwriting is important too.
