Negative Positive
Title: astoundingly weak.
Review: I got this CD for a buck and I want my buck back. After seeing some positive reviews and seeing that it reached # 1 on the college charts, I decided to risk a dollar on this incredibly bland "bookbag rock". I should've known better. Inbetween laughable Dave Matthews impersonations and shockingly mediocre Neil Young karaoke, you get his take on "what if Trent Reznor accepted Jesus as his personal lord and saviour?" on Track 11 "Permission". With no hooks to speak of, an annoying Christian bent, melodies that recall the worst 70's AM farm radio ever and covering up your inability to create anything even remotely catchy with electronic instrumentation, it all makes me wanna upchuck in my shorts. Damien Rice, Badly Drawn Boy, even Pete Yorn are doing what this guy is attempting to do and can actually DO IT. Seek them out, let this guy fall off the radar for good.
Is the review positive or negative?
