| | Anonymous Botch - Chris Mars - Song Listings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | Anonymous Botch, Chris Mars' fourth solo album, at first glance appears to be an attempt at a more commercial recording, with the addition of acoustic guitars, violin, and cello, as well as a heavier reliance on keyboards, but it is ultimately hampered by his antisocial vocals and a distracting... |
 | | Mars often shows a warmth toward his fellow man, as on the fond farewell to departed friend and bandmate Bob Stinson ("Two Dreams"), yet he can also be completely unforgiving and callous, as he is throughout "Janet's New Kidney," a cheerless, nursery rhyme-like tale of abandonment of a reckless alcoholic. |
 | | Mars says goodbye and good luck with a nod toward the horn-filled '70s rock of his youth on "I'll Be Gone," which could be seen as an adieu to the music business itself. |
