Title: Great Rock
Review: When this album came out it got great critical reviews, but they ended up hurting it in the long run because of the over hype. Some critics claimed the band to be "the saviors of rock n' roll" in the fury of their first release ofIs This It. While both of their releases contain some great rock n roll tunes that are incredibly catchy and memorable, there just isn't anything original. But then again it's kinda hard to come up with something ground breaking and original when just about everything has already been done.Singer Julian Casablancas sings with a straightforward style a-la Lou Reed, yet lets it rip from time to time, kinda breaking away from his style on the first album. Oddly enough the guitars at times sound like synthesizers, making it a slight different from than their first album into a more new wave '80's vibe. The album is only a mere 33 minutes but it it sorta nice because it's not weighed down by boring "filler" tracks/songs.
Is the review positive or negative?
