Negative Positive
Title: Very pleasantly surprised
Review: So I read some AP article about the 10 most overlooked albums of 2006, and after reading a couple of online reviews wasn't expecting much.HOWEVER, what I found was a fledgling band that reminds me of a UK version of the Black Crowes, lots of blues fueling the music, but with very melodic vocal lines reminiscent of Travis from their "The Man Who" days and Toad the Wet Sprocket. Lyrics are well thought out, and hopeful, but of course contain the nowadays obligatory cliches.There are several notable tracks on this album:1. Silhouette: acoustic to hard rock, really moving song with a 60's southern country-rock feel.2. Light sleeper: haunting melody line that drifts along with the song, and it has a *gasp* key change!! Which is unheard of nowadays.3. Autumn Red: a 3:4 song that again has some great melodies.I would definitely recommend this album, nice and refreshing!
Is the review positive or negative?
