under the covers

I really expected to love this record. I ADORE Matthew Sweet and like Susanna Hoffs' voice. I like jangly pop from the 60s and 70s. So the recipe was there for me to really enjoy this new record of pop covers by Sweet and Hoffs.

But it's just really dull. I mean, they don't DO anything with the covers but cover them. The originals are better. It's like listening to Hoffs and Sweet sing karaoke (albeit very well).

Not recommended.
