Why did I pick this album? There’s nothing wrong with it. They’re another indie rock band, this time from Detroit. The songs have good harmonies and musicianship. But nothing really stands out to me. We get 20 CDs like this in the mail every week. There’s no shortage of good man rock out there.
“Howl at the Moon” is a bit catchier than the rest. It’s the kind of stuff you can listen to with your girlfriend. The keyboards make it better. “It’s Going to Be O.K.” uses a ’70s-style organ. Maybe I have trouble getting into this because it reminds me of my parents, but my psychiatric review has already been written today.
“I Don’t Need Anything Except You” reminds me of “Singing in My Sleep” by Semisonic. It just moves along, the same way as the carpool lane moves during rush hour. It feels a lot faster than it really is. And after two minutes and 12 seconds, it’s over.
“Setting Sun” sounds like a Better Than Ezra song, but I guess they all do. “Time of My Life” is the last track and causes me to say “good riddance.” Really, it’s not that bad, and if this album were a beer, it would be Budweiser: predictable and secretly owned by a company in Europe.
