Customer Reviews Hypnotic and Just as Brilliant as their first Release "Sunday Mail" and "Pigeon Farm Boy" rank up there with the greatest songs of the 1990s. Great album! Not one bad track. If you liked the first album, you will not be let down by this spectacular release. A very underrated effort. a very fine record I'm not sure whether i like this one or the first album better. i am a very big(as in i love this band, not as in i am fat) fan of Marcy Playground. it depends on your mood. the first one is about 75% acoustic, so if better for late at night or when you're sleepy or something like that. this one is about 75% electric, so it's better for cleaning your house or something. i think the best songs on here are "It's Saturday", "All the lights went out"(a rare MP love song), "Wave Motion Gun"(my favorite), "Rebel Sodville" and "Pigeon Farm". so, basicly if you liked the first one, chances are you're gonna like this one. so i say buy it. Mostly Uninspired soared into parvenu status in the pop world, riding on their hit single Sex & Candy. Following their delicious debut cd, John Wozniak and co. Marcy Playground had a pretty good chance to increase their fan base and really blossom into one of the great alternative bands of the mid 90s. Sadly, this album is an average, retrograde cd that is certainly not as good as the band's debut. Some promising glimmers of light shine through on Wave Motion Gun and Pigeon Farm, but the album is clearly lacking in the ebullience and cohesiveness that abounded in the bands previous outing. True afficionados of MP's first cd might want to check this out for the few good tracks on here, but for anyone being introduced to Marcy Playground for the first time, check out their debut. .
