Title: Frat-boy rock
Product review: Taken in a vacuum, this CD is okay. The writing, harmony, and instrumentation are good. But I have several problems with it.First, I heard it the first time when they were called Vertical Horizon, or the Origin, or School of Fish, or Material Issue, or or or.... get the point? Sounds like a bunch of theatre / music major frat brothers got to thinking at a party and said "You know Pat, there's not enough good middle-of-the-road music these days; we should start a band."The second problem I have with this CD is the production quality. It sounds as if they placed the mics too close to everything, then dampened the higher frequencies. Very thumpy, claustrophobic, and annoying if you tend to listen for production quality.So if you like any of the aforementioned bands, this CD is a good bet. As for me, based on the reviews, I thought this was a breakthrough album. It is NOT a breakthrough album, and I'm fairly disappointed.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
