Title: *sigh*... Treble Charger used to be good
Product review: Wide Awake Bored is a monumental disappointment. With it, Treble Charger, a band that used to create great sounding and catchy Canadian alternative with a hint of pop-rock, has totally de-evolved further into the world of pop punk or straight out pop, even going so far as to play up their friendship with Sum-41 (aka the Antichrists). While the music remains catchy due to the raw talent of the band, the lyrics and overall musical depth are nothing. Perhaps the biggest mistake was by establishing Greg Nori as the "true" lead singer when Bill Priddle is far more talented. Perhaps they just wanted to go mainstream, and they've certainly established that.Check out "Self = Title" or "Maybe It's Me" if you want to see Treble Charger when they did something with the talent they posessed. I am not one that uses the word "sellout", but this album fits the description more than any other I have heard.
