Title: A few good tunes but they don't stand up to repeated listens
Review: Kind of blah power pop, with the slower numbers "Return" and "Shortly Before the End" the best, along with the catchy "There's a Fire". Most of the other songs are completely forgettable, especially "C-C-C-Cinnamon Lips" and "You're So Damn Hot". The keyboards and backing vocals sound pretty good, but the lead singer's voice has very little range or personality. I give them credit for selling this CD for a (somehwhat) reasonable price... but all in all it's just not that good. I'd recommend any Fountains of Wayne or Superchunk CD over this if you like good catchy power pop.
Is the review positive or negative?
