Title: fine musicianship, weak songwriting
Product review: Nice production and solid musicianship are the good points of this record. On the downside, Alan Charing seems content to recycle the same, vaguely bluesy (non)melody on each and every song. At a glance, the lyrics may seem compelling, but look a little closer and one finds macho hipster posturing with no substance to prop up the disjointed ramblings. I really wanted to like this record. Honest! Oh well...
