Title: Promising music, ruined by the vocals
Product review: This was recommended to me by a store clerk when I picked up the latest album by the Budos Band,The Budos Band II. Open to trying something new, I picked it up. The instrumentals started out promising, but Nicole's vocals -- up front and largely unadorned -- must be an acquired taste. Uncertain, often off-pitch, occasionally shrieking (as in the title track), they made it impossible for me to love this album. And the lyrics! "He's my four-leaf clover / Lucky that he walked over" and "He's my baby / No, I don't mean maybe". I'm sorry, but lyrics that sound like they're straight out of a 7th-grade rhyming dictionary just don't do it for me. So, I have to pass on this one.
