Negative Positive
Title: B&S, without the S!
Review: So this album sounds like Belle and Sebastien, that you could have guessed from the singer's bio and the fashionably Smiths-esque cover art.I don't think it's as good. In fact, I gave it a low rating for disappointing me badly. Here's what's similar: a delicate, candylike pop vocalist and cute melodic line throughout.Here's what's missing: the loud part. Many of B&S's best tracks feature rich instrumentation (strings, horns) that builds intensity and energy as the song goes along. My favorite example is track 2 of the green album.The verdict, then, is negative. It's derivative! Go buy _Strangeways Here We Come_.
