Title: Slick, but...
Review: Israel's CD shops boast more local content than countries several times its size, and the music is often beautiful and exciting, combining western and eastern influences with serious poetry about life in the line of fire. Only the Hebrew language prevents Israeli artists from finding wider success, and these talented lads from a village outside Jerusalem have decided to embrace both English and straight American rock. The result is a slickly professional, easily accessible CD of completely undistinguished rock wallpaper whose best track is a pale version of a Tom Waits song. Pick any Waits CDs at random: it will be more fun.
