Reviewers are idiots. I have no comment on the actual recording, I will wait until I hear it, but yeah I HIGHLY doubt MM would write a "surf rock" song. There's probably a little single-string guitar line or something and it evoked a surf vibe to one reviewer. Remember when BOSS came out and someone wrote, "I can't even tell the difference between Magik Markers and Sonic Youth anymore." What does that mean? It's stuff like that that annoys people.
...There are some intelligent, wonderful reviewers out there. Like Mark Prindle.
