Title: Better than the average
Product review: I write this at a disadvantage, having not had much exposure to this band's previous material. Apparently, "Antenna" is quite the departure from Cave In's traditional sound, and from the looks of it, not well received by some. If I had a history with this band, I probably would have been turned off as well by this venture into the land of Foo-Fighters-mass-produced-sell-out-pop, if not for the fact that these guys are really quite good at it.For people who like this kind of thing, "Antenna" is a sure fit. Cool changes and great guitar work set the tone for this record, with crisp, melodic vocals reminiscent of TPOH's Moe Berg. The intelligent, pop-rock sensibility of songs like "Anchor" and "Youth Overrided" ground this album as well-placed high points. While there isn't anything particularly revolutionary about this record, in and of itself it is a solid work, and worth every penny of the used price I paid for it.
