Title: too mild to matter
Product review: Good god, are these guys bland. The singer sounds like he wants to be passionate but just can't quite muster up the energy. The songwriting is straight out of the alternarock radio handbook. It's all so reasonably melodic (though not particularly catchy), well-produced, accomplished, articulate, etc. that it turns into mush. I got to track 9, "I Apologize," and just couldn't take it anymore. It's not horrible, I suppose, if you're a fan of mainstream top-40 rock, but I can think of hundreds of albums I'd rather spend my time with.
