Title: Too prone to anthems
Review: I heard the song "Junkie Girl," on the Progressive channel of Music Choice, the music that comes from Cable TV. It really is a great song. It's dark and really cool. It sounds a lot like Daniel Lanois. It's the last song on the album, which makes me think that this is the kind of music McDermott would put out were he not under the thumb of the label to produce the "adult rock" anthems which comprise the rest of this CD. I feel this album is over-produced and completely trite. Do not buy it if you dislike corporate radio. It is filled with a lot of self-righteous musical proclamations. The overall effect is too dramatic. If you like "Junkie Girl," snap up any Daniel Lanois CDs you can find.
