Title: The CTD's try too hard to be something they are not.
Review: I am all for bands growing, challenging themselves to evolve musically. But sometimes a band will try too hard to be different, to be something that they are not. That's the case with our Canadian friends latest release, Give Yourself a Hand. Sorry, boys (and Ellen), but the urban, semi-rap, psuedo soul rubbish misses the mark badly. With God Shuffled His Feet and A Worm's Life the Dummies had earned the highest compliment I can give a band -- purchasing a new release before even hearing one note of music. No longer -- credibility has been lost for good. I have one suggestion, Brad Roberts and company, give yourself a kick instead of a hand.
