Title: Is there life on other planets?
Review: The opener, "She's So Liquid" showcases the Bill Mallonee sound. Dreamy , distorted guitars and warm organ sounds encase Mallonee's earnest vocals.Mallonee had shown signs of pursuing a college radio friendly sound, with songs like "It's Not Bothering Me" on his band's last album. But there are no percussive anthems here. Mallonee is clearly recalling his childhood favorites from the British invasion."Extraordinary Girl" is a beautiful two-and-a-half minute pop song, ranking with "Extreme North of the Compass" and "Tempest" in that aspect in Mallonee's catalog.The biggest complaint many diehard VoL fans will have: They've heard most of these songs already. Many were featured on Mallonee's first true solo album Fetal Position. Now, Paste Magazine has started its own label, and they've culled songs from Fetal Position along with several new tracks.
