Negative Positive
Title: Got bored with it pretty fast.
Review: I put this one to bed after just a few weeks. Sorry to say (because I hate those boneheads who say, "This sucks.")Great hooks and some clever lyrics, and a very nice voice. But the overall effect is of the songwriter trying too hard to write the "perfect pop song." The overall effect is that it's too tight and confined for its own good. There's a difference between going after the perfect pop song and just writing songs.In the end, there's not much new here. Nothing surprises. I wonder if anyone agrees with me in saying that what the Long Winters truly lack is ATTITUDE. All caps.Sorry, but we need a fewer pop stars reading and quoting books.Long Winters will be compared to Nada Surf who do the same perfect-pop-song thing. Instead try Matt Pond PA or Phoenix's second CD and get back to me later.
Is the review positive or negative?
