Not sure 'bout all the other crapehangers out there, but I find this type of overeager jubilation fulsome enough to stay put in my pit of despair. Gotta give Frankie T. some cred for trying though, because try-try-try he does: emotional flowery rhapsodizing, triumphant punk-plus-piano vitality with plenty of big singalong solace, some unquestionably great melodies, poignant live-acoustic eulogy-ender. His staunch dedication to keeping your (and his own) head up and stickin' through this shit we call Life is inspiring, really -- penning fully sincere choruses like "rejoice, rebuild" and "goddamn it's great to be alive"? Quite gallant. Oppressively zealous and wince-worthy, too, but hey.

Positive Songs For Negative People embraces unbridled optimism and presents 12 tracks of uplifting, sincere, feel-good music. The sound continues to stray from Turner's acoustic folk punk roots and successfully veers into massive arena sized rock anthems about the upsides of life courtesy of backing band The Sleeping Souls. Lacks the lyrical flourishes, ambiguous metaphor, and extended prose that characterizes his finest works such as Love, Ire, and Song and England Keep My Bones, but PSFNP doesn't really call for it, anyway. Turn it up, sing along, look on the bright side of things, and enjoy.

It's just .. I dunno. Feels like Frank didn't really bother with the name of the album as well.Aside from 'Get Better' and maybe 'Love Forty Down' and that's even a stretch - I'm pretty indifferent about this work. But hey - Poetry of the Deed can get a break now.
EDIT: It did grow on me (as usual as it is with me and FT), but it died down much faster.
