My Morning Jacket reclaim their mojo on their self-titled ninth album. Read ellen_a_johnson's review:
If you’ve ever set foot in Red Rocks Amphitheatre, you know it’s a thin place—aka, a place where heaven and Earth meet. The storied venue’s breathtaking scenery and otherworldly atmosphere are conducive to “Eureka!” moments, epiphanies and realizations of all stripes. So it makes sense that it was there, between those towering rust-colored silhouettes and underneath a Colorado sky dotted with stars, where My Morning Jacket’s members decided they could still be a band.
has every mark of a great MMJ album: widespread jam numbers, thoughtful lyrics that speak to the times and a brush with the psychedelic. But where something likesoars to untouchable heights, the band’s latest falls flat at a noticeable rate in terms of delivery. A clear existentialist, James has long had the urge to comment on every wrong unfolding in this messed-up world, both in his solo music and on My Morning Jacket records, a habit he pursues to varying degrees of success.
The latter song acknowledges the grotesqueness of shopping malls and the adjacent horrors of capitalism, but with a healthy dose of humor . It would be an impressive feat for most groups, but 10-minute stage-shakers are nothing new for My Morning Jacket—James and co. deliver epic musical manifestos with the ease of filling up one’s tank at the gas station . The Grateful Dead comparisons they’ve amassed over the years are justified.
