Title: Banal tripe. Jensen fans go elsewhere
Review: Enjoyed Jane Jensen's work, and discovered she was in this band. Thought I'd score some bonus early material.Wow. This is BAD. Lyrics (not hers) are banal enough any college creative writing program could better them in an hour seminar. Music is horrible synth-pop. And though Jensen is singing, it's often passed through dimestore filters and has none of the expressivity that makes her albums good listening. Not only is Blue completely different from anything she's done later, it's pitiful on its own merits. Very sophormoric, and that's being kind. Unlistenable is closer to the truth. Not a single track worth taking from this disc.I bought at $3 *with* shipping. I want my $3 back.
