Title: Intriguing, Complex Pop
Review: If you're expecting to hear something that sounds like any of the band members' other bands, forget it. This is altogether different than what you'd expect these guys to do, and the result is a really satisfying and eclectic assortment of complex, "grown up" pop melodies. It's hard to come up with a single classification that would apply to everything they've done here, as there are shadings of jazz, rockabilly and big guitar pop, but taken as a whole it is relentlessly interesting and holds up well under repeated listenings. I'm surprised I'm not hearing some of these songs on the radio. "Alaska" would fit in nice on any prog rock or "alternative" playlist.
Is the review positive or negative?
