Title: A Dime A Dozen
Review: I'll be brutally frank: compared to Jimmy Eat World, the Juliana Theory sounds painfully derivative. I listen to a lot of rock music, and the songs on this album could have appeared on several other bands' discs. There are a few very solid numbers (lead-off "Into the Dark", the amazing "If I Told You This Was Killing Me, Would You Stop?"), but on the whole, this CD has a very strong 'been-there, done-that' feel to it. You can tell that the band members care about their music a great deal, and produced the album with a lot of heart, but it just didn't cut it for me.
