Title: fresh stuff
Review: A friend of mine introduced me to Rogue Wave after following Rogue Wave, the Glands and the Shins to two different area concerts. He came back with the Rogue Wave CD and an upbeat review, saying that they put on an excellent show.What I like about Rogue Wave... it is fresh. Sure, I hear the retro-ish, upbeat feel of the Shins when I put on Rogue Wave, I hear other influences too. But I can't not appreciate the cleverness, and togetherness of Out of the Shadow. Rogue has pretty smart lyrics, great acoustics, an all-together great sound. If you're looking for something, light and semi-sweet/sad, it is a great album.Rogue Wave has done an excellent job of taking the newer retro on the edge sound and turning into their own great music. I'd buy the album if I was looking for something new, something hip, something good.
