2.0 out of 5 stars
Some decent music, idiotic lyrics, August 13, 2007
This review is from: Riding Paper Airplanes (Audio CD)
The first song, Homecoming Weekend in a Small Town, is quite good. It's catchy, with hooky lyrics and a great overall sound. Kind of a Postal Service/Go Find kind of vibe - but without the smart lyrics. And boy, in the rest of the album you really really notice the absence of those smart lyrics. Wow. Plus, the tones and beats also seem to suffer from a lack of imagination. I don't want to overstate this though as the music is nonetheless fairly nice. It's just that, coupled with the juvenile lyrics, one can't help but take away an overall impression of this album as being an (awkward) adolescent effort. I'd still probably recommend this album on the strength of the first song, but don't get your hopes up for the rest of this one.
