Something seems wrong here, like drinking stout in the sun

"Have you ever tried to like a recording but finally have to just give up and admit you don't? It's hard to put my finger on exactly what I don't like: there is a freewheeling energy derived from a mix of rock, blue grass, and Zydeco. The songs are generally up-tempo and the band, if not always tight, is spirited.



But after one last listen, the more I realize I'll never play this CD again. I don't have a high tolerance for fiddle or zydeco to begin with, so what others might dub infectious, I find irritating, especially when the fiddle is sawing away and the band seems to be going through the motions.



Something seems wrong here,like drinking stout in the sun. At best one might get away with slipping a track or two on a compilation CD.
