Title: Quicksand-lite
Product review: Walter Schreifels has abandoned the metal/post-hardcore hybrid Quicksand pioneered in favor of heartfelt ballads and mid-tempo alternative rock. His latest project, Rival Schools, has more in common with limp-wristed emo kids Jimmy Eat World than with peers such as Jawbox or Helmet. If you like your music sanitized, weepy and bland, then "United By Fate" should provide a satisfying listening experience.
