Every Good Boy “The Human Haiku”

The lead singer’s name is “Orly,” which makes me think of “O RLY,” the question that that Internet owl always asks, not to mention getting a 13-chain in Trism. She sings just fine and seems to write thought provoking lyrics. The music has enough pep to keep it all going. This album is as dependable as a Toyota Camry.

“Clumsily Fumbling” has great backing vocals. The whole song is a bit bulky–there’s a ton of instruments going on here–but it generally works fine.

“Stairmaster” has a familiar melody, but I can’t place it right now. Maybe Sing Sing? “It Never Ends” has good guitar and is quite listenable. The rest of the songs all kind of run together, which is a shame, because nothing sounds particularly bad, but with nothing noteworthy, there’s just not much to talk about here.
