Title: No Olson=No Songwriting
Review: If you're a fan of "Hollywood Town Hall" or "Tomorrow the Green Grass", as I am, you'll probably be very disappointed with "Sound of Lies". Gone are their trademark harmonies and catchy tunes. Instead of sticking with what they were best at, no-nonsense country rock, the band apparently chose to go in a whole new direction and ended up sounding like one of many very ordinary second-rate alternative bands. The absence of Mark Olson is very apparent, as the songwriting quality on this release is very poor..... It really bothers me to think what a great band they once were and how far they have fallen. Save your money for something you'll actually listen to more than once!
