Title: Bummer
Review: I picked up Empty Rooms after hearing "Head Above" on a Sound Collector compilation. Amazing track, that, and probably the best thing on here. If the others were close behind we'd still be in luck, but unfortunately much of the rest of Empty Rooms is disappointingly mundane. The songs are well written, well executed, and well recorded, but sadly they're just not very good. Exceptions are "Mansion on the Mountain," "Blankets and Shields," and possibly "Sleepwalker," but three or four enjoyable tracks don't make an album worth keeping (not for me, anyway). I haven't given up on Canyon, just on Empty Rooms. Merely promising.
