6/10

I like the vibe of this. Some good driving beats, and I like the violins.

6/10

I knew the Mekons a little bit from hearing them on compilations from their more punk days. This one is a lot more experimental, some of which works, some of which really doesn't, and is much different sounding than what I expected based on the little I knew going in.

2/10

Alt Country? What in hell? This sucked ass

4/10

I like the early stuff from the mekons more. I found this to be a bit of a chore even with the short runtime. Don't dig the folksier arrangements.
