Title: Not their best, which is a statement in and of itself
Product review: This isn't the best studio album for this incarnation of The Seventy Sevens, but that fact just highlights how good the band is. "Drowning..." has a number of stellar tunes mingled with merely solid ones. The band's main strength is its ability to rock out (Snowblind, Dave's Blues) while also ringing the pop music bell (The Jig Is Up, Alone Together), and Mike Roe's voice is what makes this versatility possible. And it doesn't hurt that Roe is a magician on guitar as well. The fact that "Nobody's Fault But Mine" is a note-for-note copy of LZ's "original" speaks to how gifted this band is. "Drowning..." is well worth your hard-earned $$$.
