Matt Messina\u2019s retro-funk sound is really fun, replete with  organ, tenor sax, drums, and electric bass, but the first third never develops  into a full statement that\u2019s actually listenable.<\/p>\n<p>Wonderful cues like \u201cHey Boo\u201d and \u201cAll I Have\u201d start with a groove and fade  out or unwind to silence, and this approach goes on for a while before \u201cThe  Worst Bet,\u201d the first full-ish theme statement, which runs under 2 mins. A few  more bits &amp; pieces follow until the album starts to offer slightly longer  cuts, some with nice string backing. The score\u2019s mood also shifts from  optimistic \/ funky \/ playful to more emotionally fixed, like the orchestral  \u201cBroken Vagina,\u201d with pensive strings and contemplative keyboards &amp;  piano.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Butter<\/strong>\u2019s well orchestrated and bubbles with a great blend of  funk and orchestra, but its filmic design \u2013 punctuating scenes with sharp  statements and getting out fast, not to mention co-exiting with source music \u2013  makes for a deeply fractured album. Few musical thoughts are complete, and it\u2019s  a shame Messina chose not to craft album versions of dramatic highlights where  the musicians could also indulge in a few heavy improvisations.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2012 Mark R.
