Negative Positive
Title: I want to like this album...
Review: I quite liked 4 Strings first album, and had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately, it failed to deliver much for me. If I had to put my finger on it, I'd say the band was trying too hard this time to play it safe. A couple of the tracks drift well into pop, and very soft pop at that. Two of the tracks start brilliantly, only to lumber along with minimal development, or worse, be destroyed by lyrics ("when dolphins cry"? yikes...). I think this album will likely produce several terrific singles ("Turn It Around" is the album's high point), but otherwise, it's a pass for me...
Is the review positive or negative?
