Title: Not so good
Product review: I don't quite understand all the positive reviews of this album. Their first self titled CD was great- a nice mix of C-Clamp and Braid. This however, wants so badly to sound like Shiner it ruins the whole thing. The songs aren't as well written as the first album and the singer has clearly spent weeks in the studio tracking his vocals again and again in order to sound like Allen Epley. Trouble is, he's not as good a singer and whilst he manages to pull it off on some tracks, others like 'The Halo Befriends Me' are practically unlistenable. The guitars lumpen and vocals never quite hitting the right note. That said, there are some good tracks but the whole thing is so patchy it doesn't stand up to repeated listens. A shame.
