I find that if I remove any thoughts of his earlier work, I really enjoy this CD. 

I had read an interview with him about the CD before buying it, so I had an idea 

it was not going to be similar. I think that helped me to listen to it on it's own
instead of being blindsided by the different sound.

Mike,

Modern Art is my least fave Matthew Sweet album to date.
It's strong on texture, psychedelic guitar noodling, and experimentation
....short on songs and memorable or melodic hooks. A difficult listen IMHO.
