Title: Typical alt rock
Review: My buddie Dave and I have pretty similar music tastes, so when he recommended this one, I ran out and got it the next day. Came home and played it a couple of times and was left scratching my head - what's he see in this? Sounds pretty much like every other alternative rock band out there today - perhaps a bit darker. Played it off and on all week even held on to it and tried listening to it a month later to see if I missed anything - nope, still don't get it! It's not a bad disc per se. The production is good, the quality of the music is good, they even throw in a lot of nice sounds - piano, cello, violin. But it just sounds like anything else on your local "alternative rock" station. Take any song from this disc and put it on a Gin Blossoms, Goo Goo Dolls, or Oasis disc and you won't be able to tell the difference. And that, to me, is worse than poor production or musical quality.
Is the review positive or negative?
