Negative Positive
Title: Pretentious
Review: Rock? ...no. R&B ...no? Disco? ...no. CHR? ...yes, if that's where the money is. Ridiculous? ...most definitely.None of these songs fall into a specific genre. It's as if this band wrote with different artists - trying to cover all the categorical bases. The lyrical content lacks integrity.The vocalist is UN-original and a little creepy [if you've ever caught them live]. The live show I saw was almost certainly choreographed. [Note: I think the drummer wore girls' clothes.] This album sounds as if it were based on "good intentions", nevertheless the end result was a suffocated effort that conforms nicely to the industry of CCM.There are select positives: The album is well produced. The ideas [beneath the pretense] are good. The keyboardist is cool live.Final note: This album hasn't the slightest nuance of Radiohead.
