Title: 2 out of 11 isn't bad...
Product review: "Mama's Room" and "In the Clouds" are great songs and the kind of hit singles most bands dream of writing. Unfortunately, the rest of UTIOG's major label debut doesn't live up to the promise - or the fun - of these two songs. Lyrically and musically the other 9 songs feel unfocused and lack the marriage of retro and modern that makes "Mama's Room" and "In the Clouds" so easy to like - and so catchy. But the band has obvious potential to be explosive - it's just a little premature yet. It will be interesting to catch up with them on the next album and see where they're at.
