Album Review

From the echoing beginning to its overall airy, uplifting sound, this band is like the Angels & Airwaves of 2001. Certain songs had parts I didn’t like, parts that seemed random & out of place. But often this was quickly offset by something cool which made me like the song again. Songs tend to start off slow, but quickly gain momentum, like “Smile”. “Chloroform The One You Love” is a nice catchy single overall. It ends in a mess of sound, and I’m not sure about how I like the lyrics either, but again, it’s a pleasant listen. This album definitely has a grungy, alternative rock feel, very typical of the 90′s. It almost feels underproduced, but is quite nice to listen to. “Got A Feeling” is an amazing song.
