Recollection Volume 35 – Work Cut Out

Recollection is a project to review my record collection. I will listen to an album I own and review it. The album will be chosen randomly by computron. Today computron chooses…

Album: Work Cut Out
Artist: Sloan
Released: 1998
Format(s) I own it on: CD

Chris Murphy’s “Work Cut Out” was released on a CD to come free with Chart Magazine. To celebrate the release of Sloan’s Navy BluesChart released four separate covers, each featuring a different member of Sloan.

The song itself is definitely the worst from the Navy Blues session. It never really made it beyond demo quality, but Sloan felt it was a good song to throw to Chart.

The song is repetitive, and a tad annoying, but it’s also really catchy. Murphy has a talent for writing catchy songs, and this was during his high point.
