Mother Mother is a band that has been around for a long time now, and the Vancouver based band have just come out with their 10th studio album the question is though is this good or bad? And does this live up to the standards that we all have for this great band. 

The things that work this album being the bands 20th anniversary goes back to their roots. Ryan Guldemond’s goal with this album was just to get creative with it. There is no bad ideas kind of mentality. The album goes over very familiar themes for Mother Mother fans, themes such as being alone, and self love. People who have been looking forward to this project have praised Mother Mother on their ability to have such a compact album delivery with the album only being 12 songs long. A lot of Mother Mother fans have also expressed how happy they are that the band kind of brought back their old sound. That can not come as a surprise though as the album is titled “Nostaligia”.

We have gone over what makes the album good so far but what about the bad? With older fans being happy that Mother Mother had returned to their old sound a bit some fans were not pleased as they wanted something new and fresh. Most reviews of the album have it decently good https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/1250438-mother-mother-nostalgi As this website has the album at a score of 67 out of 100. A good score, but not a masterpiece not a classic just kind of an Album has some bright spots.

So what’s the verdict? In my opinion listening to this album is……… good i think its good. Not great, let me make that very clear, just good. You have to listen to this album with an open mind. Some songs that were bright spots on this album were “Namaste’, and “ to regret”. These songs are a little bit different from what the band is as they lean into a more quieter emotional approach.
