Album of the Weekend

Ugly Kid Joe-America's Least Wanted

This album is like listening to a giant mood swing. There are some good songs, some terrible songs, and some songs that just don't belong on the album. Cat's in the Cradle is the cliche song about people who have bad relationships with their father and it can be touching at times, but what's it doing on an album that also has the tongue in cheek, "Everything about You"? It's like one part of this band thinks it's Weird Al and the other part wants to be this gritty, take me seriously emotional band. Not sure what they were going for.

Does it mean the entire album is bad? No, it's not bad just weird. Your best bet is to Youtube the songs then pick and choose which you want to download. The entire album isn't worth a full purchase. I'm not sure what happened to Ugly Kid Joe. Perhaps if they found their distinct voice and choose what type of rock band they wanted to be they could have lasted longer.
