4.0 out of 5 stars
Solid Work..., July 13, 2011
How can I be the first one to review this album? Fans of Jason Collett's know his sound tends to veer on the poppy side with a little "throw back" edge to it. I like to call it music from the "Quentin Tarantino Soundtrack" era. While fans of his previous work may be thrown off by the mellower tracks on this album--I tend to prefer his more up-tempo stuff if I'm being honest--these mellower tracks feel very "current" with what's going on in the indie folk scene right now.
What makes him different from every other pop rock John Mayer clone is that his lyrics usually have a subtle "bite" to them that I appreciate. Standout tracks include: "Love Is A Dirty Word," "The Slowest Dance" (which is quite reminiscent of "Stuck In the Middle With You"), and "High Summer" (which has a little "Ziggy Stardust" thing going on). I often find Collett is one of those artists whose albums I can put on and rarely skip a track and this release is no different.
