Title: Sorry, but one of the more overrated CD's I own
Review: I'm a huge music fan, own about 500 discs, and am constantly on the lookout for under-appreciated bands that get no airplay. I have listened to this disc repeatedly and it simply does not gel for me. The elements are all there, but it just doesn't have that certain intangible that makes it a great record. It has received great critical acclaim as well as a consenus 4-5 star pick on this board.My sense is that Remy Zero is trying to do Radiohead. I read where Thom Yorke was somewhat influenced / liked their first record. But the problem with trying to be Radiohead is simple: there is nobody who can be Radiohead but Radiohead themselves.
