MB Album Club 2022

Well, here's a song from the McGarrigle's that looks with humour at Canada's neighbours to the south:-

As for La Bottine, perhaps it's time to borrow your aunt's record collection and tap into those irresistable French-Canadian roots:

Yes, that's a good point. I share those French Canadian roots. I know my uncle has a number of those records too.

Yeah look I've tried. I've listened to this a few times but each time my attention wanders. It's not that the music isn't good, but that's all it is, good. No pun intended. Or maybe there is. Either way, I can't remember a single track from this album (and I agree it's way overlong) and I don't think I ever would. It's pretty generic, there's nothing that stands out and while there's nothing wrong with the music, there's nothing great about it either.

I appreciate it holds special significance for you, MC, but so do a lot of albums I like, and nobody would think they were great. It's perhaps a cruel joke, but I have to say it: should it not be the Matthew All Right Band instead?

Sorry, sorry.

I just can't get up the enthusiasm to give it another shot. I'm losing the will to live. Better luck next time I guess.

I can't even rate it, as to me it's just so bland and forgettable.

Man, that's harsh.

That's ok. We can't please everyone all the time. We always come across albums like that.
